znamlab.github.io

Lab website of the Specification and Function of Neural Circuits Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute. The website is largely based on the template provided by the Allan lab and includes some code adapted from the website of the Bedford lab. It uses some Bootstrap, Bootswatch, and Font Awesome. Website source code is freely available under MIT License.

Modifying the website

You can make edits to the website either directly on Github or by cloning the repo, editing it on your local machine, and then pushing the changes. The latter approach is recommended as it lets you preview any changes that you've made before updating the public website. To do that you will need to install Jekyll.

Once you have Jekyll setup, simply navigate to the repo directory in terminal and type bundle exec jekyll serve, which will build the site and start a local HTTP server so that you can view it in your browser.

Updating your personal info

You will find your personal page under team/_posts. The file name should start with your start date in the lab - this is to ensure that lab members appear on the team page in order of joining.

The lab member files have the following header (I am using mine as an example):

---
layout: member
title: Petr Znamenskiy
photo: Petr.jpg
info: Group Leader
email: [email protected]
github: znamensk
twitter: petrzzz
scholar: "https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=tZ3hWEYAAAAJ"
link_to_page: yes
---

Any of the fields except title and info can be omitted or left blank, in which case the relevant item wont appear on the website. If you omit link_to_page or leave it blank, the team page wont link to your personal page.

Photos should be square and placed under images/members in the repo.
