Adding new users

  1. Navigate to <server_root>/users, where <server_root>: the folder where the files used by the documentation server are stored.

  2. Copy and paste the template folder in the <server_root>/users. Then rename the folder with your username (this will be your username in the remainder of these instructions).

  3. Add the new user to the existing list of users on the documentation server.

  1. Open <server_root>/users/index.html with a text editor (e.g. Notepad++ on Windows).

  2. Search for the userList code block (highlighted in the screenshot below).

index.html

index.html

  1. Append the following new line under the userList.

<li><a href="./username/index.html">your full name</a></li>

  1. Replace username with the folder name from step 2.

  2. Replace your full name with your full name.

  1. Customise the new user’s documentation page:

  1. Open <server_root>/users/<username>/index.html with a text editor (e.g. Notepad++ on Windows).

  2. Search for the <h1> tag in this file. The line corresponding to this tag shows:

<h1>Username's documentation</h1>

Replace Username with your username.

  1. Save and exit the file.
