Description

A rich page is one of the most common page types. The purpose of a rich page is to provide visitors with an overview of the content in the underlying structure, as well as to guide visitors to other parts of the website. Rich pages are used to gather information about an area, such as the home page of a unit, the type of research conducted at a department, or the main page of a study programme. Rich pages can also be used for campaigns and marketing. A rich page is comprised of two parts:

  • The upper part with the title and a summary, which is accessed from the edit tab; and
  • The lower part containing, for example, promos, which is accessed from the layout tab.

    This content type can be created by web editors, who are also able to place the page in the menu.

    Example rich pages: Campaign page for an event, home page of a unit, main page of a study programme.

Do as follows:

  1. To create a rich page, switch to the “Content” tab in the top left.



  2. Click the “Rich page” link.



  3. Click the blue “Add rich page” button.

  4. Language
    Swedish is the default language version, although you can also choose to create an English version of your page first by selecting “English” from the drop-down list in the “Language” field.
  5. Title
    Enter the title of the rich page in the “Title” field (required).
  6. Summary
    Write an introduction, a shorter summary of the rich page, in the “Summary” field (required). If the summary is long and is linked from a promo, it’s cut to the first 94 characters followed by an ellipsis (…).
  7. Supplementary text box
    The “Supplementary text box” field allows you to add an introductory text which is used when you need to describe the content in greater detail than a summary. The text is presented in a two-block layout.



  8. 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: “Space image” (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.



  9. Promo 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. Promo 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. Promo title
      You can enter a shorter title, so that it looks good when the page is linked from a promo, in the “Promo title” field.
    3. Promo summary
      You can enter a shorter summary, so that it looks good when the page is linked from a promo, in the “Promo summary” field. The promo summary is limited to 95 characters.

  10. 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”.

    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.
