We can only provide hosting for current members of the Princeton University community.
Before you leave Princeton, we recommend that you download all of your files from your pages. One option is navigate to Site Content > Browse > Files in the Control Panel to see all your files. Then you can open each file individually and save it to your local machine. You can also browse your live site to retrieve your images and files. Unfortunately, we do not have an export tool to export your entire site and its contents.
The WYSIWYG toolbar in the body field editor includes a "mathjax" button with a sigma (Σ) icon. Clicking that button brings up a dialog where you can enter raw TeX (LaTeX), and the inserted formula will render properly in the WYSIWYG preview and on the published page. Example: \(x=\frac{1+y}{1+2z^2}\)
By default, the formulas are inserted inline. Single dollar sign, square bracket, and parenthesis delimiters are not supported. Double dollar sign delimiters render on the published page, but not in the editor; however, you can add a formula to...
To log into OpenScholar, click on the Login button at the bottom of your OpenScholar site and enter your NetID and Password. Depending on the setting you chose when you created your site, your site could be Public, Private, or anyone can see it if they have the link (basically public but not indexed by Google).
When logging in to a Lab site onOpenScholar for the first time, your site will be set to Private. We do this so if you would like to build your site first before presenting it and making it public to the world, you can.
To change the Theme of your OpenScholar site, go into the Admin Bar > Appearance > Themes. Here you can choose from different themes. Some themes even have something called flavors. The design of the page stays the same but either a background color or a background image changes. When you choose a theme you like, click the Save button. You can not edit the HTML or CSS of any Themes.
*Note: When changing your theme, the layout of the last theme is kept, so this may effect the way the site is displayed in a browser. When changing a theme,...
The site layout is where you decide where content will be displayed for certain pages or all your pages. Widgets are used to display certain types of content. To access and edit your Layout, click on the Admin Bar > Appearance > Layout.
Here you can edit (by click on the gear icon), delete (clicking on the X), or move (drag and drop) widget to the sections you want them to appear in your site. You can also drag new widgets into sections like a sidebar to add different functions to your site (like a Twitter feed).
Under Admin Bar > Settings > Enable/ Disable Apps, you can make Apps available to Everyone (Public), available to Site Members (Private) or Disable them. To disable an App means to remove it from the site. Even if you disable an App, the content you entered will be saved in there in case you want to make it avilable to everyone again. When you turn on an App, this affects what content you can add to a course. If you want a media gallery, you can simply turn on that App, and then in your Front page (home page) under the Add New button,...
You change the title, the position of menu items, and add links to internal and external pages to your site's primary (navigation) menu. To access your navigation menu go to Admin Bar > Menus.

You can create pages and link these items in here by either clicking on the Add new Link button (this is also true for external links) or when you create a new item (like a...
To see all the files and items you created inside your site, go to Admin bar > Site Content > Browse > Files. The files will be listed in chronological order.
