Welcome to the bxie-academic wiki!

File structure

• content/ contains website content (including papers, projects)
• data/ has information for custom theme "uw"
• layouts/ has custom page layouts which can overwrite files of same name and relative path in themes/academic
• static/ is the public directory (where files, images, redirect file lives)
• themes/academic is submodule and should not be edited directly. It may periodically require updates (see Academic Docs: Updates).

Adding Content

Publications

See Academic Docs: Publications.

1. Append bibtex to static/files/publications.bib
2. Edit bibtex:
   1. Add month field
   2. Change the bibtex key to of the format + (e.g. "chi2019"), because it is used for the URL.
3. From project directory, run this command: academic import --bibtex static/files/publications.bib

New publication should appear on the list of publications now.

TODO: There are custom improvements including tagging and adding descriptions as "abstracts" which would be nice.

Projects

Projects live as a directory in content/project. Easiest

News

News/updates handled in custom widget recent.html which is a simplification of achievements.html

Setting Up Redirects

Redirects handled by Netlify hosting service (Netlify redirects). Redirects files is `static/_redirects'. The file is quite fragile (I avoid comments, whitespace, trailing new lines), so be careful!

For external redirects, must pass in response code 302.
