Semi-transparent text block in page layout?
by Holetschek, Jörg 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Dear Morten, We use the Page layout for our portals. Is it possible to set transparency for the part of the text that overlaps the image, usually the title and subtitle? https://hp-theme.gbif-staging.org/layout/page Thanks and cheers, Jörg

Number of datasets, organisations and images to be found in a hosted portal
by Holetschek, Jörg 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Dear all, for the entry page, I'm trying to create an overview of the data to be found in our portal (which is based on a network filter): number of occurrences, datasets, publishers and image, similar to the table you can see here: https://hp-theme.gbif-staging.org/. I managed to get the number of occurrences by using https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?networkKey=3aee7756-565e-4dc5-b22…, but I failed for the number of datasets/publishers. Apparently the search request for datasets and institutions doesn't support the "network" parameter. And I'm completely lost for the number of multimedia documents provided for the occurrences - is there any API call for that? Thanks and Cheers, Jörg

March 4th meeting video and notes
by Tim Robertson 06 Mar '21

06 Mar '21

Hi all, Thank you for the group call yesterday. The feedback is immensely useful to us. For those who couldn’t join yesterday we went around the “room” to hear out how things are progressing on each portal, identify issues/concerns and capture ideas. The recording is available on https://vimeo.com/519572530/4c48655301 and we kept some running notes on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tc4PPP1OYw1_NVijqZVf0BCkLf_rkd6civfFSOu…. Please let me know if these are not accessible to you and I’ll find an alternative way to share them. Please also remember that Morten offers to do a one-to-one session for anyone seeking guidance and I am available too (although can’t answer detailed questions like Morten can). Many thanks, Tim

Help to use the documentation layout and the nice left menu
by Camila Andrea Plata Corredor 27 Feb '21

27 Feb '21

Dear all, I have been trying to use the documentation layout as seen at the base theme (https://hp-base-theme.gbif-staging.org/layout/documentation) it looks perfect for long and complex documents but I haven't been able to make it work. I do get the right navigation menu in this and any other layout using toc: true, but not the left navigation menu which is the most interesting feature of this theme. I tried to emulate the .md of the theme ( https://github.com/gbif/jekyll-hp-base-theme/edit/master/pages/layout/docum…) and played around with several options such as permatlink: , sidebar:, and bringing external docs with the option {% include_relative xxxx.md %} but It did not work. For the available examples, I think that probably the left navigation menu needs to be configured externally. How can I make proper use of the documentation layout? How can I configure the left navigation menu? This is the doc in which I'm doing trials: https://github.com/gbif/hp-colombian-biodiversity/blob/master/footer/termin… Thank you in advance C. -- Camila Andrea Plata Corredor *Equipo Coordinador Sistema de Información sobre Biodiversidad de Colombia*

Re: [Hosted-Portals] Add a landing page to the name of the dropdown menu
by Camila Andrea Plata Corredor 27 Feb '21

Thank you Morten for your reply, I see you have thought about it in depth and your arguments are very strong, a neet responsiveness is a must, especially when many people use cell phones and tablets to look for these types of written content. Options 1 and 2 will work for us.

How to add hyperlinks to a document's internal sections
by Camila Andrea Plata Corredor 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Dear all, We are creating content in markdown and we came across an issue while trying to add hyperlinks to a document's internal sections. When in Markdown the hyperlink works but in the portal it stops working. [Cuando se trate de la descarga de una consulta de datos](#Cuando-se-trate-de-la-descarga-de-una-consulta-de-datos) For example: when in the Markdown Github preview we can click on the hyperlink... ....and It redirects to the respective title/section within the same document: ( https://github.com/gbif/hp-colombian-biodiversity/blob/master/recursos/Como… ) But in the portal we get a dead link: ( https://hp-colombian-biodiversity.gbif-staging.org/recursos/ComoCitar#Cuand… ) Then, Which is the correct way to address hyperlinks to a document's internal sections? Thank you in advance, -- Camila Andrea Plata Corredor *Equipo Coordinador Sistema de Información sobre Biodiversidad de Colombia*

Add a landing page to the name of the dropdown menu
by Camila Andrea Plata Corredor 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Dear all, We have a question about the menu structure set at _config.yml, It is possible to add a landing page to the name of the dropdown menu? For example, we would like to add the option to click in Layouts ( https://hp-base-theme.gbif-staging.org/) and open a page, for that we tried using the following structure, and other variants, but it didn't work: - text: Name *href: /Name* menu: # Dropdown menu (one level deep only) - text: ... It is possible to have such a landing page? How can we do it? Thank you in advance, -- Camila Andrea Plata Corredor *Equipo Coordinador Sistema de Información sobre Biodiversidad de Colombia*
