Standard Operating

Procedures

Web Publish: Basic Web Approach and Commands

• The Biology and Biotechnology web site has been setup and coded in the simplest manner

possible to enable future faculty or staff to readily understand, expand, and maintain the content

without requiring expertise in web languages or a particular web authoring application or tool.

• The Index.html file is the first entry point for a browser that has been pointed to our website

address: Users.stlcc.edu/departments/fvbio. Any browser landing on this site will automatically

open, display, and interpret the Index.html file as the source point for any further actions.

• The Index.html file should be created/opened/edited using MS Notepad or MS Wordpad, simple

editors. It should be stored in a permanent location along with other SOP or Protocol files. A

“Copy” of the Index.html file is then saved to the folder that contains the true address of the URL.

In our case this is: \\dragon\users_wwwroot\Departments\fvbio a location pointed to by a network

folder called fvbio. This address is presently only authorized for write access by the user Bob

Morrison and Kevin Toal at FV. To aid in accessing this location, the following slides show how to

create a shortcut to this folder for future Save-As-Web Page commands from Powerpoint, Word,

or Excel.

• The Index.html file is presented using basic html list commands which then link to the appropriate

SOP/Protocol html files or other websites. A few CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) commands are

used to define the page background, fonts, etc. but in most cases, default values are used.

• A “site search” feature has been embedded in the Index.html to enable users to search our site for

any keywords or phrases. The logic and weekly processing of our site was obtained from a “free”

web search engine company similar to Google.

• If decisions or logic commands are necessary for future updates, Javascript will be necessary as

html commands do not generally support these options. STLCC-CPLS;Morrison 3/7/2011

Publish to Web: Mapping to Users Webserver, Step 1


1) Startup Windows Explorer (not Internet

Explorer) from the Programs/Accessories

folder

2) Blank out the Address space line and Paste

or type in the path as shown:

\\dragon\users_wwwroot\departments\fvbio

3) Select GO

//dragon/users_wwwroot/departments/fvbio









Publish to Web: Mapping to Users Webserver, Step 2


1) The previous GO command

will map to the fvbio

location with the path

shown on the left panel.

2) Select the fvbio folder, right

click and add/send a

quick access to this folder

such as on the (Save-as-

Web-page) operations from

Powerpoint, Word, Excel.

Publish: File – Save-as Operation


1) Prepare Protocol per

instructions in “Writing

Protocols…Protocol” .

2) Logon STLCC network

with ID authorized for

web updates

3) Retrieve new Protocol or SOP

to be added to website.

4) Use File- “Save as” operation

Publish: Network Places- fvbio Folder


1) Select Network Places

allocated for website

Publish: Select Web-Page (*html) format

should also contain the master for

Index.html (Start page on web)

2) Right click on Mouse, use ”Open

With” and select Notepad or Wordpad

as the editor for Index.html file.

Publish: Add New Line to Protocol or SOP section, Save


1) Use Copy-Paste to add a new line in

either the SOP, Protocol, or

Education section of the page.

2) On href=“ enter EXACT TITLE of the

filename used on Save-as operation,

the same as native Powerpoint name

3) Enter desired name for Display on

web

4) Save Index.html when done

Publish: Drag Index.html file to Web Folder


1 ) Drag the revised Index.html file from

the native file folder to the Website

folder (fvbio) or other as specified.

2) Note, if any Powerpoint files have

Hyperlinked files (.pdf or other), a

copy of these files must also be

dragged to the web file folders with

the name preserved from the original

hyperlink operation.

Publish: Test new entry on Website


Use Internet Explorer to located the

website and test the new SOP or

Protocol .

Be sure to test any Hyperlinked (.pdf) or

other files from within the protocol.

Publish: Network Folders for fvbio Website


http://users.stlcc.edu/departments/fvbio/Index.html


1. Add a Text Box in Red Italics to describe

the file to be linked.

2. Detect the Text Box, select “Hyperlink” on

the INSERT tab menu.

3. Browse and select file to be linked, pick

OK when done.

4. The Link will be added to the Powerpoint

.ppt version of this file when saved.

5. When publishing this .ppt to the Web, you

must copy (drag) any linked files to the

web file locations and keep the same file

names

Web Publishing Protocols : Example Adding Hyperlink to .pdf or other files.

Web Publishing: Hotlink Item/Picture to another Slide in

Protocol/SOP


1. Detect on Item where link is to begin (text

box or picture)

2. Select Action under ppt Insert tab

3. Select Hyperlink to: under Mouse Click tab

4. Select from the popup list the slide where

you wish to link-to.

5. Select OK to define the link

Web Publish: Hotlink to Another Published Protocol (htm file)


1. Detect on Item where link is to begin (text

box or picture)

2. Select Action under ppt Insert tab

3. Select Hyperlink to: under Mouse Click tab

4. Select from the popup list “ Other File”

which has to be an existing htm or html file

published to the web server. In this case,

another Protocol or SOP

5. Locate the htm filename to link to on the

webserver, select OK.

Protocols: Publish to Web as PDF file


1. Use the File, Save-As option

2. Navigate to the web server (fvbio) or

Users.stlcc.edu/departments/fvbio

3. Chose the “Save as type:” and select

PDF as the type

4. Use standard publishing button

5. Select Save and wait for the file to be

converted to pdf and saved

6. Go to next step to Update the pdf file with

other desired settings for the display,

mainly Open to “Fit Page” to ensure the

full Powerpoint slides are shown on each

page of the brower or Adobe display.

Protocol: Publish to Web as PDF, Set Fit Page


1. Open the pdf file saved from Powerpoint

on the web server.

2. Use Edit menu , then Preferences to set

the display default for future operations

by users to “Fit Page”.

3. This ensures that the full page of each

Powerpoint slide is displayed when

access from a Browser or future Adobe

Open operations.

4. Save the pdf file on the web server to

complete this process.

Protocols: Publish, Google Chrome PDF Hotlink Issue


The latest version of Google Chrome browser replaces the Adobe PDF viewer with a

Google plug-in that is simpler, faster, but also has several limitations or problems.

Among them is the lack of support for Hotlinks to other websites or PDF files within an

existing PDF file. This features is used extensively in the SOP/Protocols website to

hotlink to User Manuals and other reference material. Until this problem is corrected by

Google, you must DISABLE the Google plugin and revert to the native Adobe plugin per

the following steps.

To revert to the Adobe Reader, Enter the Google Chrome Browser to the Home Page

• Type "about:plugins" in the address bar (without the quotes), hit enter, and then click

on details (near the top right),

• Scroll down the list to you find the Chrome PDF Viewer entry

• Disable Chrome PDF Viewer and thus enable the native Adobe viewer.
