Adding content in Drupal

Gazelle website is now running on Drupal 7. This page describes how the content is organized and how to add a new page (right content type in the right place)

Menus

Menus can be configured from Structure > Menus. Four menus are used in this web site

  • Quick links which is displayed on the left side bar
  • Main menu which is displayed at the top of the page (Home, Blog...)
  • Kereval team menu is available only to the users from the team based at Kereval
  • epSOS menu is available only to the users involved in the epSOS project

Books

Switching to the new website, we have restricted the number of books, each new page you create must be part of one of the following books. Otherwise, you may want to create a blog entry.

  • Gazelle developers guide is mained to contain all the informations a developer of Gazelle may need
  • IHE Connectathon gatheres the general information about the connectathon process
  • Gazelle user guides is the entry point for all the pages which teach the user how to use the Gazelle tools. This book is organized in different chapters matching the type of tool: Core, External Validation Services, Simulators
  • Installation guides gathers all the tutorials to install such or such tool
  • Product Registry is the documentation of the tool Product Registry
  • Quality Manual is maintained by Quality insurance body of the Gazelle platform
  • [ARCHIVES] Deprecated projects is used to store all the pages relative to tools which have been deprecated or replaced
  • [ARCHIVES] European connectathons is used to store all the pages relative to the past connectathons in Europe
  • Pre-connectathon tests contains the description of the pre-connectathon tests which are run "against" Gazelle tools; those tests are referenced within GMM and sorted by tool.

Each time you want to create a new content which aim to be added to one of those books, use the book page (new) content type. Then, in edit mode, at the bottom of the page, go to the Book outline section and select first the book in which you want to add the page and then its parent item (it may be the root of the book).Once it's done, the fastest way to put the page where you want in the book is to go to Content and then under the Book tab. A quicker manner is to go on the parent of the new page and hit the "Add child page" link. 

Blog post

The blog content type must be used to publish a news in the blog section of the website. When you create a new blog entry, you can tick the Announce this post on Twitter checkbox so that a new tweet containing the link to this new blog entry will be posted by @IHE_Gazelle account

Archives

The archives section is used to stored the pages which are no more relevant but that we want to keep as an history of your work. Select the page you want to archive, edit it and, in the book outline section, select one of the [ARCHIVES] book. If the page you move has children, they will be moved also.

Home page

The home page is automatically built. All the contents of type "frontpage-block" which is set as "published" and "sticky to front page" is used to build the page, organized in two columns and sorted by ascending "order in home page" (a field available in edition mode).

Page for Kereval only

This type of content is configured to be accessible only by the users which are in the group "Kereval". When you create such a page, to not forget to tick the "Provide a menu link" check box. In this way, the link to this new page will be displayed under the Kereval team menu displayed in the left-hand column

Page for epSOS only

This type of content is configured to be accessible by users which are in the group "epSOS" (and others since not all epSOS staff may be registered in Gazelle and known as an epSOS user). If you tick the "Provide a menu link" check box, a link to this page will be created under the epSOS menu.
