Conference Website Dynamic Data Inclusions, Conference Tools, and Information ScreensContact: Stefano Deiuri - Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A. This talk will showcase the variety of SPMS generated reports which can be included in your conference website and are automatically updated as data evolves is your SPMS instance. A number of useful applications for poster police, doting boards, and other information screens will be showcased. HistoryThe ConferenceWebsiteScript was developed ten years ago for the EPAC'08 conference, the goal was to automatically create some contents for the website. Year after year these scripts have been updated and improved, and they now provide tools for other aspects of the conference. SchemeAttach:cws2-schema.png In this scheme the CWS server and Web server are separated but in case you manage the website these can also coincide. InstallationDownload the package CWS v2018.04 Extract the content on a path inside the web server (ex. /var/www/html/cws2) Directory structure
CWS configurationThe configuration file config.php is available in the root of the package. Global Some global parameters shared by the scripts have to be configured in the global section of the configuration file. define( 'ROOT_PATH', '/var/www/html/ipac18_cws2' );

'global' =>array(
'conf_name' =>'IPAC18'

Script Each script has its own section in the configuration file, usually it is not needed to change the default values. SPMS configuration for Registrants' ChartDependency: "Include Registrants on Statistical Reports" flag in the registration page properties of the SPMS. Attach:PHP_Reg_Statistics_SPMS.png SPMS configuration for Participants PageDependency: "Include Registrants on List Of Participants Report" flag in the registration page properties of the SPMS. Attach:PHP_LoP_SPMS.png CronThe data into the SPMS are continuously updated so the scripts must be executed periodically. To simplify this task the package provides the script cron.php that reads the configuration file and executes each script at the right time. The global setting cron_enabled enables or disables this script. The cron parameter available in the script section of the configuration file controls when to run it. Some examples: 'spms_stats_importer' =>array(
'cron' => '*:*' // the script is run each minute
'spms_importer' =>array(
'cron' => '*:00' // the script is run each hour at minute 00
'make_chart_registrants' =>array(
'cron' => '*:05' // the script is run each hour at minute 05, after the new data are imported
to disable the automatic execution of a script, use: 'cron' => false // the script is not run index pageThe script index.php available in the root of the package gives you access to the contents of the different scripts. Attach:cws2-index.png ChartsThese scripts processes data collected from the SPMS and produces two files (HTML and Javascript) to render the chart. (by way of Google API) Template files are used to simplify the integration with the conference website
Participants PageScript: make_page_participants This page summarizes the data of the recordings, it includes these elements:
Attach:cws2-make_page_participants.png Programme PageScript: make_page_programme The script produces:
Poster Police AppScript: app_poster_police This is the only script sending data to the SPMS, for this reason an access password is required, and must be set in the relevant section of the configuration file. This is a tool to collect information about the posters - needed for the production of the proceedings
Proceeding Office Status PageScript: page_po_status This page provides several charts that allows to monitor how the work proceeds in the Proceedins Office.
BarcodeScript: barcode_page This is an experimental utility that allows to speed up some SPMS operations simply by scanning the barcode printed on the paper.
Paper Processing Status PageScript: page_edot The SPMS provides a similar page, but this can be more easily customized. Attach:cws2-page_edots.png Paper Status AppScript: app_paper_status This page allows to quickly check the status of a paper processings. A QRcode available on the screens of the "Paper Processing Status" allows easy access to this page. The requests on this page were:
