cd-rom-for-conferences

You can use this project to generate a cd-rom for your conference.

Screenshots

You can see screnshots of a generated cd-rom at:

• simple-cd/screenshots/gepad

How it works

We have 3 entities:

• engine to read the data
• datasource
• eruby template to generate the presentation page of the cd-rom

Engines

For now, only one engine was implemented:

• simple-cd: reads data from csv files.

Getting started

Requirements

• ruby

• erubis

  gem install --remote erubis

Downloading projet

All this instructions assume you are using

mkdir ~/cd-roms
cd ~/cd-roms
git clone https://github.com/edusantana/cd-rom-for-conferences

Create a cd-rom structure from jquery-ui

Create a cd-rom structure from jquery-ui ziped file:

cd ~/cd-roms
wget https://github.com/edusantana/cd-rom-for-conferences/raw/master/jquery/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.zip
unzip jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.zip
mv jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom my-conference-cd-rom

This instructions will create a directory my-conference-cd-rom that will be the root the cd-rom.

Generate presentation file

cd ~/cd-roms/cd-rom-for-conferences/simple-cd
ruby simple-cd.rb < templates/gepad.eruby > ~/cd-roms/my-conference-cd-rom/intro.html

Open ~/cd-roms/my-conference-cd-rom/intro.html and see what was generated.

NOTE: This page (template) was written in portuguese and using utf-8 encoding.

Changing data

Let's add some data to submission datasource::

cd ~/cd-roms/cd-rom-for-conferences/simple-cd
echo -e "article\tfiles/my-conference-article-01.pdf\toriginal filename.docx\tMy article\tMusic\tAbastract about this\tJohn Lenon\tMichel Jackson\tLuiz Gonzaga" >> submissions.csv

Generate the presentation file again:

ruby simple-cd.rb < templates/gepad.eruby > ~/cd-roms/my-conference-cd-rom/intro.html

Open intro.html and see that a submission was added at the end of the page.

TIP: To understand this data, look at * simple-cd README.

Create your own template

Open gepad.eruby and save it as your template my-conference.eruby, and run the engine with your template.

Updating jquery

You can (and it is recommended) select/edit your own jqueryui theme.

Unzip the downloaded file and rename the folder as indicated at "Create a cd-rom structure".

Open index.html from jquery and find these lines:

<link href="css/start/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.js"></script>

DON'T USE the above line, use the lines from your index.html. Use those lines to update your template.

If that's not enough

Create a copy of simple-cd and create your own engine for generate the cd-rom.

Contribution

• You can submit templates at simple-cd/templates
• You can create and submit other engine (like simple-cd and simple-cd.rb)
