| How do I move pages in Drupal? | In drupal, the url and home directory on subpages do not change automatically if you move a page. Moving individual pages is not a problem, but if you move a page with subpages like this: - Studentliv -Göteborg -Studentföreningar och kårer -Studentbostäder -Om universitetet -Studentliv -Göteborg -Studentföreningar och kårer -Studentbostäder So you have to manually go in and change the url path and save the three sub pages so they end up right. Otherwise, those pages would appear as errors when published. |
| How do I change the sections order in Layout Builder? Type of drag-and-drop? | No, you can't move the sections. However, you can move the components between different sections, if you have selected a section that allows the type of component you want to move. You may have noticed that different sections have different choices of components. If you try to move a component to a section that does not have that selection, you will see a red box in the background, however if it is ok to move then the box will be gray. And then just drop it. If it is a component with an image, the image will adjust to the correct scale. |
| I can't see the Menu tab that should be between Switch Area and Content. | No, it's removed. Now you completely control how the page should be in the menu by when you edit a page and have it checked in appears in the menu. There you choose where in the menu it should be located. If there are more pages on the same level, they will also appear and there you can also fold them by dragging the up and down arrows so that they appear in the order you want. |
| Is it possible to add a contact person to the content type "Research project / group"? In the template there is contact as a fillable box. Maybe the feature is not available yet? | Everything that comes with contacts will come later this spring. There we are dependent on the POP project, which is currently building a new applicable Person and Organization. Once we have linked it to the web, you will be able to access web editors on all pages and add contacts. |
| Which component is recommended for longer descriptions of research projects? When I use the Editor for longer texts, the possibility of formatting the text with H3, bold, italic, etc. disappears. | To get right when you are in the Layout tab, select the section called Information. In that section, select the left dashed field and select the component called Editor. In it you have the opportunity to format your text. |
| We have only English page today, so I will use the button for language selection and start with English pages, then language buddy and translate to Swedish, what do you think is the smartest? Not sure when to use the language selection button. | In Drupal you can choose which one, start with English and create the node and then make a Swedish language friend or start with Swedish and create the node and then make an English language friend. What feels easiest and best for you. |
| I have done interviews with various researchers. The problem is that they now do not want to reuse my research portraits in Drupal, as it says "Published 07 Feb, 2020 at the IT faculty" on every portrait. They prefer to have a completely neutral text, or that their institution name appears there instead. Which makes them think about creating identical portraits where my content is copied. And then the whole idea of having the pages in the same database disappears, I think. | We have a bug in Drupal which right now always shows today's date when you go into the content types "News" and "Research report / portrait". We will fix it soon, so that you see the date it is published. |
| Is it possible to have a movie as the main image on a home surface? | You can only place a movie on the start area "University of Gothenburg". The reason is that the home pages for all surfaces are supposed to have a picture and with that the name of the surface is placed on the picture. |
| Det går inte att spara menyn på högsta nivån. När jag väljer att klicka ur menylänk, så försvinner sidan från högstanivån och jag kan inte återställa den. Gäller sida "Vår forskning", ligger nu under "Om oss" istället. | When it comes to institutions and faculties, everyone should have the same first level in the menu for our users to recognize. In this order they should come: Study with us |
| When I do a section with three puffs, the puff texts are not included. Is it correct or am I doing something wrong? | In the smallest format of the puff, which you get for example. when they lie on a row next to each other, only the puff header is displayed, but not the puff text. So that is absolutely correct. |
| Vi har 50-75 forskningsprojekt som pågår på vår institution. Vi håller på att lägga upp information om dessa i mallen forskningsprojekt/grupper. Vi skulle vilja visa dessa projekt under fliken "Aktuella projekt" under "Vår forskning" i vänstermenyn. Det går inte att välja var sidan skall hamna. Var hamnar sidan om det enskilda projektet om man inte gör något val? | The effect mapping that has been done and the concept that has been developed based on it shows that many of GU's readers are not as familiar with how GU is structured organizationally. That is why they have chosen to display certain types of content pages jointly under gu.se This means that when all surfaces create news, events, research projects / groups and research portraits / reports, they automatically end up in different search niches. (You can see it as an archive where everything can be searched) But of course, as a surface, you want to show what you do. Therefore, the idea is that on the surface during Our research, you build up with review pages and / or information pages using Layout and the components you have there, creating puffs, link lists, text boxes etc. to show what you have. This way it can be shown to the reader who is interested in what you are doing, but if you want all the detailed information about a specific project, you come to these pages that you are now building. You can also add somewhere a push that goes to a complete search result with your specific projects in the list. |
| What is "Contact form" and how to use it? | The idea is that there should come a form that our users can use when they want to ask any kind of question. Unfortunately, this part has been prioritized down, so what we will do now (until the entire form part is resolved) is to remove it until further notice. However, you can go under the Layout tab and add your own "accordion" if you want different contact paths to different parts of your surface. As an example, you can look at gu.se's Contact Page. |
