Oddysey 3 UW CLF Implementation

This page describes the UW CLF implementation in use on www.cs and www.student.cs.

Static Pages

Static web pages are implemented using Server-Side Includes (SSI). Each page resides in a .shtml file. There is a standard template that can be seen at http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/web/template. The crucial features of this template are the two SSI Include directives, one in the head of the document and one at the end of the body. These refer indirectly to CGIs that are responsible for generating the menus and document header and footer. In particular, with changes in the standard template, these template files will not require modification; instead, they will appear in the new standard without any per-page action taken by anybody.
