Shared FAQs

FAQs may be shared between the CHESS, TRUST and Embedded websites. During creation of a faq, one can either add text to refer to the URL of a faq on one of the other sites.

Customizing

A shared faq may be customized so that when the faq is rendered on the website, it has website specific information. The way this works is that <siteConfig>keyword</siteConfig> is treated specially, where the keyword can refer to anything in the siteConfig array from

www/php/sitename/config.php

Below are some common values:

pubsFAQCopyrightsURL

<a href="<siteConfig>pubsFAQCopyrightsURL</siteConfig>">Copyrights and journals</a> shared faq.


The location of the 
Copyrights and journals shared faq.

The reason we need this is that the location of the
shared faq varies between websites.

siteGroupName
The name of the special website workgroup: chess, embedded, or
trust. For example
The main group is:
<siteConfig>siteGroupName</siteConfig>

gets rendered as:

The main group is:
chess


obfuscatedWebMasterEmail
 The email address of the webmaster:
webmgr at chess eecs berkeley edu


For other values of siteConfig, you must be able to
log on to the webserver and look at files like
~www/php/chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/config.php.
