Integration of Dynamic Content into Static Sites
One of the things that makes the School of Medicine Web environment so powerful is the integration between "static" sites maintained using Dreamweaver or Contribute, and vast amounts of "dynamic" information stored in central databases and managed by the information's owners, rather than by Web Authors. With a simple twist of a URL from one of the database sites, Web Authors can link to this kind of information, and have it appear to be continuous with the static site.
How to integrate dynamic content into your site
- You must have a static (HTML) site in a standard Stanford Medicine format
- The "namespace" of your site is typically the domain name, e.g. the "yoursite" in "yoursite.stanford.edu" or the root directory name, e.g. med.stanford.edu/yoursite/; contact Web Help if your not sure of your namespace
- Browse to the clinical trial, profile, seminar, digest page or search results page you want to integrate (See Instructions per Application below)
- Type or paste the namespace into the appropriate part of the URL and reload
- Copy the URL from the Address Bar; use this link in your Web site
Clinical Trials
- Browse to any list of trials, by department, by condition or by keyword, or to any individual trial listing in the Clinical Trials Directory.
- Add the namespace to the URL after "clinicaltrials/"
List examples:
- Not integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/clinicaltrials/results.do?type=dept&id=2501
- Integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/clinicaltrials/medicine/results.do?type=dept&id=2501
Study examples:
- Not integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/clinicaltrials/detail.do?studyId=309
- Integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/clinicaltrials/medicine/detail.do?studyId=309
See our introduction to Clinical Trials for more information about the Clinical Trials Directory.
Community Academic Profiles (CAP)
- Express URLs - insert "namespace/faculty/" or "namespace/researcher/" after "profiles/" in the express URLs. Examples:
- Not integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/philip_pizzo/
- Integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/devbio/faculty/philip_pizzo/
- Long URLs - insert "namespace/" after "profiles/" in the long URLs. Examples:
- Not integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/frdActionServlet?choiceId=facProfile&fid=3843
- Integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/devbio/frdActionServlet?choiceId=facProfile&fid=3843
See our introduction to Community Academic Profiles for more information about CAP.
Biomedical Seminars Calendar
- Browse to any list of seminars, or events detail page; Note that there are views for All Future Events, All CME Events, and a 3-week digest view (the home page); in addition, once you find the view you want, you can select an individual "Department" from the pull-down to view events for just that department
- Add the namespace to the URL after "seminars/"
All events examples:
- Not integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/seminars/depUpcomingEvents.do?department=231
- Integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/seminars/medicine/depUpcomingEvents.do?department=231
3-week digest examples:
- Not integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/seminars/deptHome.do?department=231
- Integrated: http://med.stanford.edu/seminars/medicine/deptHome.do?department=231
See our introduction to MedEvents for more information about Stanford Medicine Events Calendar.
