For web paper submission only?
If yes, give full UNIX pathname of paper template file: |
Yes
No
Path to template:
|
Select yes only if this is a special forum for students to submit web papers.
This should not be used if you want students to be able to read each other's papers in the forum.
If you select "yes" here, it is also recommended that you select "yes" above to make it a private forum.
After all papers are submitted to the forum, you will run a special program to move the papers to
separate files and generate an index. Please contact Paul Grobstein before using this option.
Be sure to give the full UNIX pathname to the template file (e.g., /www/biology/b103/f01/web1/template.html), and make sure it is
readable by the forum group (or by everyone). A sample template is available at /www/forum/newforum/papertext_template.html.
