Porting the old site to the wiki

Converting from HTML to mediawiki

Here are a couple of online resources which I tested copying and pasting the source from the Yambo Download page.

There are other more powerful html-media wiki convertors but either they need php scripts run on the server or are difficult to set up, so I didn't have any success. In any case, we need to rewrite so much stuff there is little need for a 1-to-1 conversion.

Converting/porting images

Without the powerful scripts mentioned above, there is no easy way to transfer all the image files across to the wiki. I managed at least to ease some of the work using the UploadWizard plugin. When you have created the new page, you will now have links to missing image files. Either click on each one to upload one-at-a-time each image, OR click the "Upload File" link on the left menu of any page. Here you can select and upload many files at once. Unfortuntately it is not possible to automate everything in the wiki, so you need to click the date at least to accept the files. Don't change the file names. Afterwards, refresh the page/edit the page and you will see the images are now inserted. You will however have to resize them (see below).


Inserting simple math formulae

After much trial and error I installed the SimpleMathJax plugin which works quite well, it's a cllent side rendering of LaTeX. Just insert your LaTeX within <math> ... </math> blocks. For instance: [math]\displaystyle{ \Phi_i({\bf r1}) = \sum_{\bf G}^{N_G} c_i({\bf G}) e^{i{\bf G}\cdot{\bf r}} }[/math]

$f = 2$ --- Test SimpleMathJax: [math]\displaystyle{ \Phi_i({\bf r1}) = \sum_{\bf G}^{N_G} c_i({\bf G}) e^{i{\bf G}\cdot{\bf r}} }[/math] --- Template:Math ---

Running Yambo

This, and input variables, is the most difficult part of the site to put together well. It will take some deeper planning

Support

Conor: my great hope is that the FAQ section will cut a lot of the posts to the forum, so structure it well...
