Scipy Proceedings Lefthand Menu/Sidebar Update Needed about conference.scipy.org HOT 7 CLOSED

Note that the sidebar I'm talking about is this one, which only goes up to 2014:

from conference.scipy.org.

@katyhuff We need to ask that to the person who generated the static content with the proceedings. I only received the generated files.

@katyhuff I edited the code directly on the server. The file does not seem to be under version control which is scary.

That is, indeed, quite scary.

Your change seems to have had the desired effect! Thanks @dpinte !

IIRC, the idea is that the .js file always comes with the latest proceedings, and that there is a symlink on the server that gets updated to always point to that version. E.g. (I don't know the URL exactly), /proceedings will point to /proceedings-2015, and then the .js will automatically load the correct version. If this is not the way it works, we should make it work that way.

This is from the js file:

function proc_versions() {
   var versions = ['2015', '2014', '2013', '2011', '2010', '2009', '2008'];
   var proc_url = 'http://conference.scipy.org/proceedings/scipy';
  [...]

so, it's hardcoded at this point ...

/proceedings points to an index.html page which lists the proceedings from each year.
