How do we update our EZproxy web pages?
Answer
We have created a page builder to centralize this process. The source of this page builder is a set of PHP files that resides in one of our private GitHub repositories, called EZproxy-hosted.
The pages we use are all listed on the form. Select a page and your own college. To preview the page as it would look to a user, select the Preview checkbox. Note that EZproxy tokens such as ^U will display literally. In regular use, they will be replaced by other values.
If you are satisfied with the preview, return to the form, uncheck the Preview option, and click Submit. The resulting page will look wrong. The reason for this is that OCLC asks us to use a certain format for file references it hosts, such as CSS files. (This doesn't actually seem to be necessary, but we're complying.)
From this page, right-click and select Save page as or whatever the equivalent is for your browser. The goal is to save a single file containing the HTML source. Depending on how you've set up EZproxy, you can email the file to OCLC support or upload it to your self-service server as preprod and then prod.
If we want to update the content, styles, JavaScript etc. for any of the pages, we should do so in the GitHub repository and upload the edited files to the library web server.
