Course Web Site Address in Courses List

The system automatically scans the network every hour to find new courses. It is configured to find sites with postfix of ~cs, ~ct, as well as WebCourse sites. Thus, many times all you have to do is just wait an hour, and your site will be automatically linked.

Detailed info about sites for the course:

The system checks the following URLs (in this order of priority) for the course for previous, current and next semesters:

  • https://webcourse.cs.technion.ac.il/COURSE#/SEMESTER-NAME
  • https://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~csCOURSE#/SEMESTER-NAME
  • https://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~ctCOURSE#//SEMESTER-NAME
  • COURSE# is course number (236XXX, etc.).
  • SEMESTER-NAME is: Summer20xx, Spring20xx, Winter20xx (The same as in webcourse).
  • 20xx - is the year of the semester that the course is given.
  • For ~csCOURSE# page, you need to create a subdir with name SEMESTER-NAME under .www/ directory.
  • In that dir, create file index.html, and put your page there.

Example. Create web page in ~csCOURSE# for course 236999, semester summer 2013:

  • Login into user cs236999 (if you dont have an account for the course, please open Helpdesk request);
  • Create the file ~cs236999/.www/Summer2013/index.html;
  • Make sure it has read access to everyone: chmod -R a+rX ~cs236999/.www/Summer2013/;
  • This will create home link to https://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~cs236999/Summer2013 which will display index.html there;
  • If you want other url address than the above, you can redirect to it in the index.html file with html '"HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"' (search web for '"html redirect"', for help).

If you want other url address than the above, or you wish to change it for any other reason (for current semester only), and not use the above redirect option, please contact Hadas Heier (heier@cs).

If you want other url address than the above, for other semster than the current, please contact bracha@cs.
