[edit] Adding your NGI's logo
[edit] Prepare your logo
For your current purposes, the ideal characteristics of your logo are:
- RGB color mode - i.e. "screen quality" (CMYK is for print and may not work in web browsers);
- GIF file extension - JPEG and PNG should also work, but GIF is the "safest";
- 200 to 300 pixels wide.
[edit] Upload your logo
Click on the Upload file link in the toolbox menu (to the left of your screen). This brings you to the Special:Upload file page:
Clicking the Browse button will allow you to browse you computer to find the file you want to upload. The Destination filename box allows you to rename your file if you so choose (keep the file extension in the name). Make a note of this name, as this is how Wiki will recognise the file. Next, click on the Upload file button. You're done.
[edit] Add your logo to your NGI page
Go to your NGI page and click the edit tab at the top. You will see the following code in the edit box:
{{NGI info
| country = your country
| NGI logo =
| full name = your-ngi's-name
| acronym = your-ngi's-acronym
| url = http://www.your-ngi's-url
}}
Type the name of your logo as you noted from the Destination filename after the ' NGI logo = ' part. Scroll down (below the edit box) and click either Show preview (if you are not ready to save your changes), or Save page. After you saved your changes, your logo will appear automatically in the NGI logos list.
[edit] Adding Users and Resources Data
The information collected at the NGIs in numbers page is drawn from the Users and Resources boxes in the individual NGI articles. Here is an example:
| Number of users with valid Grid Certificate: | 180 |
| Number of sites (Resource Centres): | 15 |
| Number of CPUs: | 800 |
| Total storage (in TB): | 50 |
These data were originally collected by EGEE in an NGI survey in late 2006. If you did not participate in that survey, chances are you do not have one of these boxes (as well as some other information we added to the NGI articles). It is very easy, however, to add such a box; just copy the contents of the box below, and paste it somewhere in your NGI's main page.
{{users resources
| users =
| sites =
| CPUs =
| storage =
}}
It does not matter where you paste these lines within your main page; as long as they are in that page your data will appear in the NGIs in numbers overview page. Of course, you will need to write in your numbers on the right of the ' = ' sign.
If you wish to update your numbers, simply edit the section of your page that contains the Users and Resources box. The overview page will automatically be updated.
