About the
NHRC web pages are grouped into seven major subjects to make it easy to find information. Some have sub-pages, which each link back to their major page. The blue boxes at the top and bottom of each major page are hotlinks to all major pages.
- Introductions to the Club ans Amateur Radio.
- Time, place, and programs. You don't have to be a member to attend.
- Information about K6IS/R, and scheduled nets on
K6IS/R.
- Listings of officers and members with e-mail addresses. Link to membership form.
- Our calendar of events. Links to reports and photos.
- On Frequency newsletter, most recent issues, PDF format.
- NHRC Library, links to information and web pages of interest.
Plans were made in March 1998 to move to Compudigital Industries' web server with the new URL, k6is.org. However, Carl was unable to continue. A search for a new Webmaster was not immediately successful.
A new Webmaster, Les Cobb, W6TEE, agreed in October 1998 to complete the new site, with the Board's agreement that the new pages would be mostly about the Club, reducing the size and work. The new pages were put up during November 1998, borrowing some text and graphics from the old pages.
The web pages were moved in January 2007 to another server, running Red Hat Linux and Apache, courtesy Mark Stennett, NA6M.
The server scans all files named with a .shtml or .html-ssi extension to look for comment tags containing SSI commands. It then inserts the text resulting from the command at that point in the file sent to the browser. All that you can see by viewing the code presented to the browser is the date-time etc. as if it were part of the text.
We use some of the following SSI commands. Not all are implemented on all SSI servers:
<!--#include file="mast.htm" --> This inserts the named file at this point in the text. This file contains just the blue page link buttons at the top of the page. This way we don't have to repeat the page links on every page. What is more important, we don't have to change every page when a link changes. The included file does not have to be a .shtml or .html-ssi, but the file including it, or any of these commands, does.
<!--#config timefmt="%A, %B %d, %Y, %I:%M %p" --> The date-time format for any following tags. This one now reads Thursday, August 07, 2008, 06:00 PM.
| Format | Output | Format | Output | Format | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| %c | Thu 07 Aug 2008 06:00:22 PM CDT | %x | 08/07/2008 | %X | 06:00:22 PM |
| %B | August | %b | Aug | %m | 08 |
| %A | Thursday | %a | Thu | %d | 07 |
| %Y | 2008 | %y | 08 | ||
| %H | 18 | %M | 00 | %S | 22 |
| %I | 06 | %p | PM | %Z | CDT |
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" --> This is inserted in the text where the date-time is to appear. Don't forget leading and trailing spaces.
<!--#totcnt--> <!--#lastzero-->
These are the counter and counter start date commands, used as:
You are visitor number <!--#totcnt--> since <!--#lastzero-->.
We first reconfigure the timefmt to just month, day, and year.
(These are the only functions used before 2007 that do not work with
our present server.)
<!--#include file="foot.htm" --> This is our "include" for the bottom of the page. It repeats the link buttons, shows the club address, e-mail addresses, and copyright. This saves repetition and minimizes typos when making changes.
<!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --> This is at the very bottom of the page to show the last web page change. We first reconfigure the timefmt to month, day, year, and time.
