VAHC Homepage

=============



The homepage of Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare (VAHC).



Update Content

--------------



You can use the online VSCode editor to update any `.md` files and GitHub Action will automatically rebuild and publish the website after saving changes online (it will be committed to the `main` branch).



Install and Quick Start

-----------------------



The VAHC homepage is built based on [Pelican](https://getpelican.com/), a Python-powered static site generator. You can install Pelican via several different methods. The simplest is via Pip and specify using markdown:



```bash

python -m pip install "pelican[markdown]"

```



Then, you can clone the repo and go to the root folder of the cloned repo:



```bash

pelican -r -l

```



The default local dev site will be served at `http://localhost:8000/`.

You can now open web browser and check the website for development.



Deployment

----------



To deploy the generated static site on GitHub Pages, the following steps should be followed:



1. Enable workflow permissions. In "Settings / Action / General", ensure the "Workflow permissions" is set to "Read and write permissions".

2. Enable GitHub Action and add a new workflow `main.yml`. 

   Copy the following content to create the workflow action. 

   It will take a few minutes to run. Once it shows completed without any error in the Action, you can move next step.

3. Enable the GitHub Pages. In "Settings / Pages", select:

    - Source: Deploy from a branch

    - Branch: gh-pages, /(root)



If everything works fine, you can find the `gh-pages` branch has been deployed on GitHub Pages and you can access it.



```yaml

# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions



name: Deploy Latest Pages by Pelican



# Controls when the workflow will run

on:

  # Triggers the workflow on push or pull request events but only for the "main" branch

  push:

    branches: [ "main" ]

  pull_request:

    branches: [ "main" ]



  # Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab

  workflow_dispatch:



# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel

jobs:

  # This workflow contains a single job called "build"

  build:

    # The type of runner that the job will run on

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest



    # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job

    steps:

      # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3



      # Runs a single command using the runners shell

      - name: Run a one-line script

        run: echo Hello, Pelican!

          

      # Runs a build for pelican

      - name: GitHub Pages Pelican Build Action

        uses: nelsonjchen/[email protected]

        env:

          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

```



Settings

--------



Due to the special needs of hosting a conference website, some settings in the `pelicanconf.py` have been customized to support conference hosting workflow.



1. `DEFAULT_YEAR`. It's obvious that you need to set this variable to the conference year accordingly.

2. `PAST_EVENTS`. This will be used for generating the footer links to past events.

3. `*_SAVE_AS`. Some features are not used by a simple conference website, such as author page, tag page, archive page, category page, etc. So, they are all disabled and removed from output list.



Create New Site

---------------



The content structure of each year is very similar (or just the same) to previous year. So you can create a new website for the coming year as follows:



1. Duplicate a latest year folder in `content` and rename to target year. For example, copy the folder `2023`, paste and rename it to `2024` for the 2024.

2. Update the `Category` value in **ALL** `.md` files in the newly created folder. For example, update `Category: 2024` in the `2024\index.md`, `2024\call-for-papers.md`, etc. As this category value will be used to generate the URL and folder, please ensure you updated **ALL** category information correctly. Otherwise the generated HTML files of other year may be affected.

3. Update the contents of each article in the new folder.
