Slots = “Places for Sites”
Let’s say that user "jschmoe" wants to create a site dealing with Southeast-Asian politics that is not for a particular course.
In the admin’s "add/edit slots" window, the administrator could add a slot with the following info:
Name: seasia
Owner: jschmoe
Type: other
When Joe Schmoe logs into Segue, he will now see a "Create Site" link for site "seasia".
This "add/edit slots" interface also allows you to change some of the properties of a site.
Owner: If a person who created a site wishes to pass off ownership of
that site to another user, that could be accomplished by changing the
owner field for that site.
Type:
- Class sites will provide links for adding "students
in the class" as editors for the site. The class-name and the site-name
should be the same for this to work. - Personal sites will be designated as such and not be listed if the allowPersonalSites configuration is set to false.
- Other sites are like class sites, but without the "students in class" as editor links.
- System type is used for template sites to allow them to be filtered from public listings of sites.
Assoc Site: This field is intended to be used to allow listings of
student-project sites associated with a class site to be generated, but
this functionality was never implemented.
Upload Limit: This allows you to specify either the default or a custom upload limit for a site.
Updates
The "Segue Updates" window allows the administrator to apply changes to Segues database structure (among other things) that may be necessary when upgrading an existing install of Segue. New installs of Segue will already include the needed structures.
Updates are run by clicking the "Run Update" link next to them. After they have run, the update should become disabled.
Classes
Users
Templates
new sites (templates are just normal sites) and a add their names to
the list in the Segue config.inc.php:
* templates – associative array of template sites and their names
*********************************************************/
"template1"=>"Extensive Course Site",
"template2"=>"Standard Course Site",
"template3"=>"Brief Course Site",
"template4"=>"Advanced: Single Section",
"template5"=>"Advanced: Blank"
);
The built-in templates are sites owned by the user "admin". If you are
loggin in as an administrator, but not "admin", use the "change active
user" field to change to the "admin" account and you should see links
to the template sites.
