How to use the Projects template

Projects pages use a template to create a consistent display for project information. This template uses data paramenters and the following data must be provided:

  • project: The project acronym, e.g. CDLOR
  • fullname: The full name of the project, not including the acronym, e.g. Community Dimensions of Learning Object Repositories
  • leadsite: The name of the lead site for the project.
  • partners: The name of each partner institution. Separate multiple partners with a carriage return and a space.
  • contactname: The name of the project manager or principal project contact.
  • contacttitle: The job title of the project contact.
  • contactemail: The email address for the above.
  • jiscname: the project name as it appears in the JISC web page for that project, e.g. the page for CDLOR is http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=project_cdlor so cdlor (note the lower case) would be entered as the jiscname.
  • homepage: Full URL for the project homepage.
  • supportname: wikiname for the project's designated support person.
  • clusters: link to the clusters the project is a member of; links are created by enclosing a DigiRep page name in double spare brackets, e.g. [[Cluster page]]
  • summary: brief project summary.
  • reports: links to progress reports.

To display project information in a page, data needs to be input as in the following examples. Data parameters are separated by a pipe "|" and data should be entered between the equals sign (=) and the pipe (|).

Example (without data):

{{Projects|
project=|
fullname=|
leadsite=|
partners=|
contactemail=|
contactname=|
contacttitle=|
jiscname=|
homepage=|
supportname=|
clusters=|
summary=|
reports=}}

Example (with data):

{{Projects|
project=CDLOR|
fullname=Community Dimensions of Learning Object Repositories|
leadsite=University of Dundee|
partners=University of Strathclyde
 Intrallect Ltd.|
contactname=Sarah Currier|

jiscname=cdlor|
homepage=not yet available|
supportname=SarahCurrier|
