This manual is no longer in use. Instead, you can find guidelines and instructions for working on gu.se, the Student Portal, and the Hotel Portal in Redaktörsmanual Drupal.

Description

A research project/group page shall provide a comprehensive picture of research at the University of Gothenburg. The page shall provide examples of current research and fields in which the university excels. This page should make it easy to find researchers, research projects, research groups and research centres. All pages of this type will be gathered under the “Find research” search page at gu.se, regardless of which web space has created the page.

This content type can be created by both web editors and content editors.

Do as follows:

  1. To create a Research article/portrait page, switch to the “Content” tab in the top left.

  2. Click the “Research project/group” link.



  3. Click the “+ Add Research project/group”.

  12. Header image/video
    The “Header image/video” tab allows you to add a header image or a header video at the top of the page.    Video cover
    Add an image to be used as a cover image for the video before it’s played in the “Video cover” field (required). Click the grey “Open image library” button. See the instructions under 8a.



    1. Header image
      Click the grey “Open image library” button.
      1. You can now choose one of the links: “Browse existing images” (pre-selected), “Shared image library” or “Upload new image”.



      2. Select image
        To select a previously uploaded image, click the image (green checkmark) and then the blue “Select image” button in the lower left.
      3. Alt text and Image text
        Once you’ve chosen an image, you need to complete the “Alt text” field (required) and the image text for the image in the “Image text” field. Images which are purely decorative or carry no information are not, however, to have an alt text, so enter <none> in the text field.



    2. Header video
      Click the grey “Add Video” button. If you’ve added both a header image and a header video, the video will be shown.
      1. Title
        Enter the video title in the “Title” field (required).
      2. Video URL
        Paste a link from, for example, YouTube, Vimeo or GU Play in the “Video URL” field (required).
      3. Video length
        Enter the length of the video in the “Video length” field (required).
      4. Video cover
        Add an image to be used as a cover image for the video before it’s played in the “Video cover” field (required). Click the grey “Open image library” button. See the instructions under 8a
      5. Create video
        Click the grey “Create video” button to save the settings or “Cancel” to return to the main tabs.



  13. Blurb settings
    The “Promo settings” tab enables you to upload an alternative image for the promo, which is shown instead of the header image. If you have a header video on the page and you upload an image here, this image will be used in the promo (otherwise the promo will use a background colour).
    1. Blurb image
      Click “Promo image” to upload an alternative image for the promo, which is to be shown instead of the header image. If you have a header video on the page and you upload an image here, this image will be used in the promo (otherwise the promo will use a background colour).
      Click the grey “Open image library” button. See the instructions under 8a.
    2. Blurb heading
      To ensure that the news article looks good when you create a promo for it, enter a shorter heading in the “Promo heading” field.
    3. Blurb introduction
      When a news article is used in a promo, the normal introduction is used. This is often long, so it’s cut short by the system and followed by an ellipsis (…). Here you can enter a shorter  introduction in the “Promo introduction” field that will be used in the promo.


  14. By default, the page is set to “Draft” and isn’t published.
    1. To publish the page, select “Published” from the “Save as” drop-down list and click “Save”.
    2. If you want to preview the page before publishing it, you can save it as a “Draft”. To save a draft of the page, select “Draft” from the “Save as” drop-down list and click “Save”.
    3. Once the page is published, you can change the page status to “Unpublished”.



Page settings

The right block contains information about when the page was published, its author and its menu settings.

  1. Page information (this field cannot be modified)
    1. Last saved: when the page was last saved
    2. Author: the user’s x account
    3. Version management log: here you can describe changes made to the page and these will be shown under version management.
  2. Slug settings
    1. The last part of the URL is retrieved automatically from the page title, although this can be changed manually in the “Slug” field. It’s important to keep this short, understandable and unique.
  3. Author information
    1. Published by
      These details are added by default when the page is created, although if you want to change the author you can do so in the “Published by” field.
    2. Published
      Created by default (date/time) when the page is first created. If for any reason you want to use an earlier date, you can do so in the “Published” field.
