Basics
Access
Anyone on ensemble@mit.edu can access the locker. From any Athena Cluster, simply type attach ensemble into the terminal and then access the locker by going to System > Places > Home > mit > Ensemble. Within this folder, the www folder contains all information relevant to the website.
Editing
To edit a file, you should right click on it and open it with a text editor. Please only edit the files in a text editor. Using Dreamweaver will create unreadable html code. All the pages on the website use Sever-Side Includes (SSI).
Term Shows
Show Pages
1. The naming convention for shows should be easy to determine if you look at the locker. It is simply year followed by season.
2. The first file in a show folder should be labeled "index.shtml" and all images relevant to the show should be stored in this folder. At minimum, the page should include a cast list, a list of technical crew, and the shows time/date/place. It should also include the image that appears on posters. Contact the publicity manager/designer for help.
3. Do not forget to update "current.shtml" so that it redirects to the relevant page. Note that redirects will take time to take effect.
4. When the show gets close, you should request a spotlight on the MIT homepage (there is a form for this).
5. Be creative!
Auditions
The audition form uses a script provided by Athena. Simply modify the template email and pages to reflect the current show. There is no need to archive past audition pages: simply write over them.
Ticketing
Ticketing forms work the same as audition forms. There is no interface with a database (so reservations are recorded manually as reservations come in), but it would be nice if we could improve this.
Callboard
Administration
Update name.
Stage Manager
Insert Stage Manger instructions here.
Administrative Pages
Bios
Name bio pages according to Kerberos username. There is a separate page for active members and recent alums, but they are in the same folder. Old alums should be moved into the "Old" folder but never deleted. At minimum, bios should include shows/roles, but you can welcome members to edit their own pages and add more exciting content.
Other
