| − | == Cost ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Procedure for transferring user fees:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Initiate a journal to the accountant for your department at the
| |
| − | finance department. This journal should:
| |
| − | Debit your cost point
| |
| − | Credit cost point R1243, account 5227 with R500.00
| |
| − | Use your own cost point and initials as reference
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. As soon as the journal entry is shown as completed in your account,
| |
| − | e-mail the corresponding transaction number to Heine de Jager at
| |
| − | heine@sun.ac.za
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. Heine will activate your account as soon as he receives the
| |
| − | transaction number
| |
| − | | |
| − | Users registering for after the end of June pay R250 for that year.

| − | | |
| − | == Starting a user page ==
| |
| − | === Logging in ===
| |
| − | In order to edit the wiki, you need to be logged in. Click on the '''log in/create account''' link at the top right of the page and log in using your '''webmail''' username and password. You should see a message saying that the login was successful and will now be able to edit any wiki page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Creating a page ===
| |
| − | Once logged in, you should see a icon of a little head and torso followed by your username at the top of the screen. Clicking on this your login name will take you to your user page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Initially your user page should not exist and you will be presented with the option to search for the page title or '''edit this page'''. Select the latter to start editing your page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Page content ===
| |
| − | The following wiki code gives a rough framework to start from. If you copy and paste the code below, please remember to remove the leading spaces on the lines.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is not required that you follow this template, and it is only provided as a starting point for new users. One thing that is requested is that the line '''"<nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:Users]]"''' appears somewhere on your page to allow for easy access to the user pages by other users.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>
| |
| − | __NOTOC__
| |
| − | == Name Surname ==
| |
| − | *'''RESEARCH GROUP'''
| |
| − | *''Department''
| |
| − | *[mailto:mail@domain.com mail@domain.com]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Background ==
| |
| − | Put some background here
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Research Interests ==
| |
| − | What are your research interests
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Links ==
| |
| − | [http://www.domain.com External link description]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Internal wiki link]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Category:Users]]
| |
| − | </nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The page in this example is displayed at [[User:SampleUserPage]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once the page is edited you can preview it or save it using the buttons at the bottom of the screen.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Advanced ===
| |
| − | The default naming of your page as '''User:username''' may not be to your liking. To create a user page that is named '''Name Surname''' instead you can do the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | #In your browser's address bar (preferably a new tab or window) go to the URL '''https://www0.sun.ac.za/hpc/index.php?title=Name_Surname''' (where Name and Surname have been replaced as desired).
| |
| − | #If the page does not exist, then '''edit''' it. If it does exist and does not belong to you (ie. you have the same name as another user), then choose a new name for you page.
| |
| − | #Edit the page as desired (e.g. Use the template above) and remember the '''"<nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:Users]]"'''.
| |
| − | #Save the page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now we need to setup a redirect from your original '''User:username''' page to the new page that you created. This is done by editing the original page and placing the text '''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Name_Surname]]</nowiki>''' on the page (assuming of course that '''Name_Surname''' is the name of your new page).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Save the page and test it.
