Not all content is editable within Drupal. Some content needs to be edited via the configuration translations menus. This is content like button text.
These terms can be edited within Configuration > Regional and Language > User interface translation. Search for the English or other language term you want to edit.
To translate a page, you can either click on the Translate tab while editing a page, or while viewing a list of pages, you can click the dropdown arrow in the Edit button, and you will see the option to translate.
If a page has not yet been translated you will be presented a list of available languages and you are able to click Add to create the new translation.
All page content including meta tags should be translatable with the exception of the Layout field. This is a “Field Collection”, which does not support translating.
Technical Note: When including a reference to something in a page, for example, a block or a view or a hero, there is only a single version of the block available. There’s no need to find the translated version of the block / view / hero.
WYSIWYG content can be arranged into 2 column layouts. To select a 2 column layout, click the 2 column button (see screenshot). Once you’ve clicked this, you will see 2 sections appear in the editor with a dotted red line separating them.
Next, you can click the ‘Show Blocks’ button to show you the blocks for the columns – this will help you understand which column you are placing content into.
Column 1 will be on the left on the front-end and column 2 will be on the right on the front-end.
The WYSIWYG editor also supports several custom styles and headings, as well as blockquote (“quote”) content.
The best way to see how the WYSIWYG editor displays content on the front-end is by experimenting with it and trying different styles / headings.
Tips for working in multiple columns:
To create non-breaking spaces in content, first create your content, then select the content that you would like to be non-breaking (for example, the words “GL events”) and go to the Styles menu and select non-breaking. Now, when you publish this content, the selected text will always remain on the same line.
To edit the content of the CSR / RSE & Anticorruption modals (pop-ups), navigate to Content, then search for “CSR” or “Ethics”, then click Edit.
(These content blocks are edited as separate content modules, but are displayed on the Group page side by side).
To edit the content of the CSR / RSE & Anticorruption blocks on the group page (closed pop-up), see the next step.
Navigate to Content > Components > Block Link and click edit on the 2 block links for Group (one of these is for CSR / RSE & the other one is for Anticorruption).
Navigate to Structure > Block Layout > Custom Block library. Then click Edit on the block documents you’d like to edit or click to Add custom block.
On the next page, you will be able to edit:
You can put one or several documents and Save it
Then, go on your page and find your custom block via layout:
And save it
Some content modules contain introductory text above them. For example, maps or sliders (screenshot below). To edit these, Navigate to Content > Components > Headers > and click Edit on the header you would like to edit. Remember to click Save and then modify the translation.
You can manage this module via > Structure > Block Layout > Custom Block library :
Nota: No block visibility Group = the stickybar will display on all pages
To edit the History Timeline on the Group page, navigate to Content > Components > Unique.
Then click on Edit on Component - Group / History.

Block Links
After two single block link items, you can assign them to a Block Links item.
Extended content
2 sections of body copy and a CTA with a background image. The user experiences this as an expandable section of content.
Headers
Headers are used in many views. These are assigned to the view directly using a block id, therefore they should not be deleted (only edited). This allows you to edit header and body copy within several views.
Key Figures
Key figures are customisable components to display statistics in a series of columns, along with an image.
Trade slide
A trade slide item can be assigned to one of the advanced sliders (Trade slider).

Click Save and remember to create a translation.
To find latitude / longitude, you can use an online tool like https://gps-coordinates.org – type in the venue address, then click Get GPS Coordinates.
To reorder destinations, edit the Destination, scroll down to the Priority section, and enter a number. 100 is the highest priority, 0 is the lowest.
Tip: Avoid prioritising the destinations sequentially like this (100, 99, 98, 97) otherwise if you decide to change the order, you will need to edit almost every destination. Instead, consider numbering the destinations like this (100, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75…) – this will allow you some flexibility to insert something as number 94 in the future, for example, without needing to edit everything else.

Fields you can edit on a page:
Tip: These instructions are for creating custom pages, not required for day-to-day content editing.
It’s possible to add several blocks into the layout. Existing blocks are found under Content > Components > Block Link(s).
To add a new block of a certain type, hover over Structure > Block Layout > Add Custom Block.
The following blocks are supported directly inside the layout:
Tip: These instructions explain ‘Views’ – this is mostly relevant if you are creating custom pages, not required for day-to-day content editing.
Views are complex components that fetch a series of posts and sometimes allow the user to filter them from the front end.
Views that should be used within the layout start with the word Main. Views are not configurable by the editor, except in the case of a Drupal developer.
The following views are supported inside the layout and can be placed in any Page, however these have already been created in their respective places according to the design :
Tip: Clicking on the main content menu gives you all content in the site, and this can be confusing. Instead, filter the content you’re interested in by clicking on the specific type of content in the content menu.
This is an explanation of all the types of content available:
Article
An article is a news or general interest item of content.
Fields:
Slide and Slider
These two types go together. You can create these in any order, but once you’ve created a series of slides, they need to be attached to the Slider type.
Fields:
Once you’ve created at least one slide, you can add a Slider post, and search for the Slide you just created, and include it.
Note: When translating content, the entire chain must be respected. If you want a French translation to appear and you’ve only created English versions, you must create a French version at each part of the hierarchy in order for content to display correctly, even if you don’t actually need to input any changes, for example, in the case when you’re just referencing other entities.
Reference
Reference content is used to display a type of case study.
Fields:
Exhibitions
Exhibition content is a form similar to an article, but includes date information. The date information is currently only used in the front end slider view.
Fields:
Venues
Venues are unique locations where GL Events events are hosted. They are linked to destinations, which are regions where these venues are located. Venues don’t display as single post types but rather they are used in a modal that is triggered from the view Main Destinations Map.
Fields:
Destinations
Destinations are regions where venues are located. These only appear as modals in the front end, or in a list format in the view Main Destinations Slider.
Fields:
Locations
Locations differs from Venues and Destinations. These are physical locations of GL Events offices or presence.
Fields:
Releases
Releases are used purely for downloadable content in the form of PDF and Zip. Release can also be made sticky so they always appear. To make a release sticky, click Promotion Options in the right column of the create page. Releases only appear in the view Main Releases.
Fields:
Events
Events are general content for events for the company such as AGMs, meetups, conferences. These are only shown in a slider on the Press / Finance landing page.
Fields:
People
People are key governance figures in the company. They are only displayed in the view Main Governance Display, usually on the Group page and within the modal that appears when clicking the link View Bio.
Fields:
Modal (pop-up)
Modal is generic modal content. This is typically used when the editor needs a video to display. If you link a certain types of content, e.g. a slide CTA or hero CTA, to a modal content instead of a normal post, the content will open in a modal window.
Modal is also used inside block links, for further information about ethical values, etc.
To edit the Cookies banner, navigate to Configuration > WebGL Cookies. On this page you will be able to edit
To set up URL redirects, navigation to Configuration > Search & metadata > URL redirects. On the next page, select URL redirects.
On the URL redirects page, select Add redirect.
On the Add URL redirect page, enter the path you would like to redirect (the old link) in the “path” field. Then search for the new page name in the “to” field. Next, the redirect status can typically remain as ‘301 moved permanently’. The language should match the language of the link / redirect. Then click save.
To edit a case study / reference, navigate to Content > References. Here, you will see a list of Case Studies and you can click Edit on any you wish to edit.
To add a new case study / reference, navigate to Content > Add Content > References. On this page, you can add your case study content. The references use the WYSIWYG editor. See further instructions below; please also see the WYSIWYG section for more tips.
Recommended steps to create a new reference:
1. Prepare a Notepad (plaintext) document with all the required content and prepare your images. Preparing the content beforehand will ensure the reference setup process is as efficient as possible. (If you are preparing your content in Microsoft Word, save the document as plaintext before you start copying it into Drupal – plaintext removes HTML or Microsoft Word formatting, which can create conflicts online.
Tip: you can cut and copy text by Ctrl + Shift + V (this action removes HTML or Microsoft Word formatting, which can create design conflicts online)
To save your content as plaintext in Word, go to File > Save As > choose plaintext). This is the required content for a reference:
a. Title (for back-end only - use a clear title)
b. Date
c. Hero Text (for hero image - please keep it short)
d. Hero Text Small (for hero image subheading – please keep it short)
e. Hero Image
f. Body text (including any titles & paragraphs of text)
g. Body Image(s)
h. Reference website (optional)
i. Key Figures (optional) – Please note 3 to 6 key figures are ideal. 1 or 2 will cause interface problems. More than 6 will require a vertical image only; horizontal images for more than 6 case studies will cause interface problems).
j. Key Figures Image (required if you have a Key Figures section)
k. Reference Categories
l. Reference Location
m. Reference PDF download (optional)
2. Before you start creating your new reference, we recommend opening a reference you like in the back-end in a new browser window to use as an example. You will be able to check this other reference to ensure you are inputting your content in the correct fields.
3. Now that your content is ready and you have an example reference to look at, start pasting it into the appropriate content fields (Hero Text, Hero Text Small, etc). Read the next step for more information on adding Body Content, which will require the most attention and care.
4. To add body content into 2 columns, the first thing to do is click the 2 column button. This will insert text that says ‘Column 1’ and ‘Column 2’ (this text can be replaced eventually). The next thing to do is click the ‘Show Blocks’ button. This will show you the block hierarchy of the columns and make it easier for you to understand where your content will display on the front-end.
5. Now, insert your text (or image) into column 1. You can add additional paragraphs in the same column by hitting the return / enter button on your keyboard. When you’re ready, insert your image (or text) into column 2. Again, hit return to continue adding more content to the same column.
a. Image Captions: the first ‘paragraph’ under an image is the image caption text. If you type something here, it will display as a caption style on the front-end. If you don’t want to add an image caption, leave this paragraph blank.
b. Text Styles: The WYSIWYG editor also supports several custom styles and headings, as well as blockquote (“quote”) content. You are encouraged to test / preview these styles so you understand how they will display on the front-end.
6. Now, if you’re finished, you can click Preview or Save. However, if you want to start another 2 columns under the first two columns, then click the red arrow at the end of Column 2. This will end the current 2 column layout. You will now be able to click the 2 column button again, to create a new 2 columns.
7. Now, if you’re finished you can click Preview. You may need to do minor additional editing to ensure formatting looks perfect.
8. Once you’re happy with your results, remember to click Save and then create a translation.
Please check the WYSIWYG section for additional tips.
