==Calendar Notes==
 
−
 
−
===Location===
 
−
*The current calendar/resources setup is located at: http://www.eri7a-dev.eri.ucsb.edu/events_resources
 
−
 
−
===Structure===
 
−
*Calendar view is a page with location "events_resources"
 
−
*Resources is a view placed under "Main Page content" in the "Content" block
 
−
#Set to only be displayed on "events_resources/*" and  "events_resources"
 
−
 
−
===Terms/Taxonomy===
 
−
*Vocabulary: Event Type
 
−
*Terms:
 
−
#ERI Meeting
 
−
#ERI Seminar
 
−
#ERI General Event
 
−
#General UCSB Event
 
−
#Resource
 
−
##Shows up in "Resources" block under calendar
 
−
##These events should contain a link to the resource in the description
 
−
 
−
===To Add New Event/Resource===
 
−
*Click "Add Event" under "Administration" in Sidebar Menu
 
−
*Enter title, description (which should include a link if possible), date (this has multiple options, and can span a range), event location, and finally category
 
−
#Be sure to only select "Resource" if you don't want the event to show up in the Calendar, and would instead like it to appear as a link in the table below the Calendar
 
−
#If item is a resource, you should input the dates that the resource will be relevant. For example, if you are posting a restaurant menu for the month of July, put 07/1/12 as the start date and 07/31/12 as the end date. If you do not want the item to expire, select today as the start date, and some time far in the future as the end date. This is a workaround, and the CMS student assistant should work to find a cleaner method of setting a non expiring resource.
 
−
*Click "Save"
 
−
 
−
===Customizations/Additions===
 
−
*You can add new event types by going to Structure->Taxonomy->Event Type =>Add Terms
 
−
#Once you have added a term, to define the color that the Event type should show up as in the calendar, go to Structure->Views->Calendar => edit-> Format -> Settings next to Calendar Entities
 
−
##Scroll down to the bottom and use the color selector next to the term you have just added
 
−
##Click "Apply"
 
−
##Click "Save" at the top of the Calendar menu
 
−
 
−
===Usage===
 
−
*Calendar month can be changed by clicking "Next" or "Prev" at the top right of the page above the Calendar
 
−
*You can check resources applicable to a given month by selecting the "Year" and "Date" under the "date" heading above the table of resources. For example, if this month is July, and I want to see a menu for this month, I would select 2012 and July.
 
−
 
−
===Portability Notes===
 
−
*Since there are many components necessary for this page to function, it seems like the easiest way to move the entire page to another site would be to export all of the elements as a module using the "Features" module that is on both the eri7-dev and eri7a-dev sites.
 
−
*To create a feature, go to "Structure"->"Features" and then click the "Create Feature" tab at the top of the box that appears.
 
−
*Below is a non-comprehensive list of all the elements that should be included when exporting the "Feature." If this is not the first time exporting the feature, check the last version name to avoid naming confusion. The Update XML field can be left blank for now.
 
−
#''Content types''
 
−
##'''Event'''
 
−
#''Dependencies
 
−
##'''Block'''
 
−
##'''Calendar'''
 
−
##'''Color'''
 
−
##'''Chaos Tools'''
 
−
##'''Date'''
 
−
##'''Date All Day'''
 
−
##'''Date API'''
 
−
##'''Date Popup'''
 
−
##'''Date Repeat API'''''
 
−
##'''Date Repeat Field'''
 
−
##'''Date Tools'''
 
−
##'''Date Views'''
 
−
##'''Field UI'''
 
−
##'''List'''
 
−
##'''Options'''
 
−
##'''Path'''
 
−
##'''Taxonomy'''
 
−
##'''Views'''
 
−
##'''Views UI'''
 
−
#''Fields''
 
−
##'''node-event-body'''
 
−
##'''node-event-field-date-time'''
 
−
##'''node-event-field-type'''
 
−
##'''node-event-field-location'''
 
−
#''Taxonomy''
 
−
##'''Event Type'''
 
−
#''Views''
 
−
##'''Resources'''
 
−
##'''calendar'''
 
−
*Once the module is downloaded and installed on the desired drupal installation, events specific to the site must be added using the same content type as mentioned in this tutorial (the content type should be included when exporting the "Feature"). Also, side menu item must be added to reflect location of calendar -- this might not change, but because the module doesn't include the menu item, the new menu link must be added anyway.

Recharge Examples/Entry Instructions


Recharge Entries fall into 3 broad categories:  
  Direct charges - charges to a PI, Category, Account fund - Done monthly
  Deferred charges - charges that are accumulated for Services (Disk Storage, Backups, Websites, etc) paid quarterly
  Departmental charges - entries that are made to track time taken for various services that are provided by the department.  Possibly used by IT staff to make decisions

Recharge Entry Examples (each entry is expected to follow a list tag entry in the final html (ie: an asterisk in the wiki editor)):
 *NEES:20 min:Backups                         -- basic entry, NEES charged 20 minutes for backups
 *Frew:20:Backups                             -- implied units -- units default to minutes
 *Dozier:1.5h:Backups                         -- units flexible - space between amt and units optional, h is shorthand for hours, m shorthand for minutes
 *Davey/Frew/Dozier:20 min each:Backups       -- create recharge entries for this amt of time for each of the categories
 *Davey/Frew/Dozier:2 hours split:Backups     -- split time equally between each of the categories
 *eri.web:20m:Work on research website

Project examples: - ie: NEES, Snow, Oceancolor, Dragon, CCBER
Account entries can be subcategorized by creating a hierarchy using "."'s to separate fields (ie: eri.space.girvetz)

More detailed Syntax Breakdown (in pseudo BNF) :
 ENTRY = *ACCTSPEC:TIMESPEC:DESCRIPTION                         -- one entry per line
 ACCTSPEC = ACCT[[/ACCT]...]                                    -- the Account/Category/Project/CostCenter to be recharged
 TIMESPEC = AMT [UNIT [LOOP-OP]]                                -- amount of time spent - default is minutes
 ACCT = PI | Project | Account | Category [.SubCategory[...]]   -- PI/Project/Acct/Category: ie: Frew, NEES, Dragon, Infra, conf,...
 AMT = float | integer                                          -- Amount of time spent -- float or int
 UNIT = [hour|hr|h|minute|min|m]                                -- units of time to apply to amount - default is minute -- spaces optional between amt and units
 LOOP-OP = [each|split]                                         -- specialized operators - CATEGORY list is split on "/"s and an entry created for each one when processed.

Non-direct Recharge Categories (and associated SubCategories):
 *admin - efforts for administrative staff

 *lic.[itt, matlab, math, arcgis] --licensing stuff.
 *web.[drupal,wiki,cms,ftp]       -- not sure this will be a top level charge

 *stor.[disk,bk,tape]
 *stor.bk                         -- efforts relating to backups
 *stor.disk                       -- disk server related time
 *stor.tape                       -- tape backups
 
 *it.[net,dev,team,ucsb,stadm,dsr,nsmgmt]
 *it                             -- alone infers ERI business (infra/sysadm/blahblahblah).
 *it.net                         -- efforts relating to departmental networking (cabling)
 *it.dev                         -- software development, scripting, new services...
 *it.team                        -- efforts relating to IT team meetings/discussions... how about powow?
 *it.ucsb                        -- UCSB training/meetings/discussions/committees or campus greater good.
 *it.stadm                       -- efforts relating to any IT student assistants
 *it.dsr                         -- efforts relating to departmental safety representative work
