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:

• At the end of the 2nd column, it is recommended that an extra line break is added;
  
• this ensures column 3 & 4 will have space between them.
  
• This also avoids having to use extra line breaks in column 4 to try and balance the content.
  
• Please see the ‘Adding / Editing Case Studies (Références)’ Section for more tips on using the WYSIWYG editor.

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.

​

​

Fields you can edit on a page:

• Title
  The title is mostly used for internal purposes but may appear by default in meta tags.
• Hero
  A hero is the main image at the top of every page. The hero must be separately created within Content > Components > Hero and then included by searching for that hero (start typing in the box).
• Deep links
  This is the anchor navigation bar you see below the hero image on most pages. The editor is able to add multiple anchor links which associate with the Layout field later in the page. Click Add Another Item to add additional items to the anchor navigation. You can also drag these items to reorder them by clicking the drag icon.
• Body / Summary
  The body editor is a full wysiwyg (“what you see is what you get”) editor. The editor is also able to add a short summary which is used occasionally around the site. For more information on creating 2-column layout, see the Wysiwyg section later in this document. 
• Layout
  Layout items are repeatable elements. This allows the editor to control the flow of the page and what appears in it. Click Add New Item to add another view or block to the layout. You can also drag these items to reorder them by clicking the drag icon.
• Anchor Name
  The anchor name must associate with the deep link created earlier. When someone clicks on this anchor on the front-end, they will be scrolled down to the relevant section.
• View
  Views are special components which are used to show filterable groups of information and other posts/nodes. 
• Block
  Blocks are components (= Structure > Bloc layout > Custom block library). Examples of blocks include “Key Figures”, and “Block Links”. This allows the editor to create multiple instances of blocks and customise them to suit different pages. 
• Meta tags
  You can create your own meta tags on the right column interface. Open the tab that shows Meta Tags, which reveals fields for Basic Tags, Open Graph, Facebook, and Twitter. 
• URL Path settings
  The editor can change the URL alias here, if a custom slug is needed.

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:

• Block Links
• Extended Content
• Key Figures
• Trade Slider
• Feature Block
• Block text
• Block image lateral
• Block full width
• Contact Form
• Block offices 
• Block Documents
   

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 :

• Main General Content Slider
  Two variations available, including Articles, and Exhibitions. These options are selected from the dropdown Display Id which appears when choosing a View. 

• Main Navigation
  Displays the navigation items that are supplied by the Deep Links field. 

• Main Content
  Displays the content from the wysiwyg

• Main Governance Display
  Displays a slider of People type posts. 

• Main History
  Displays the history timeline component

• Main References
  Displays a paginatable and filterable grid of Reference type posts. 

• Main Destinations Map
  Displays a Google Map which contains Venue type posts embedded as markers. This view is also filterable. 

• Main Destinations Slider
  A filterable slider of locations, of type Destination. Destination posts are related to Venue posts. 

• Main Contact Map
  Displays a Google Map which contains Location type posts embedded as markers. This view is also filterable. 

• Main Vocations Slider
  Displays a filterable slider of vocations, which are a taxonomy term of type Vocation. 

• Main Content and Stock Price
  Displays both the Main Content (the wysiwyg content), and stock price information for GL events. 

• Main Press Releases
  Displays a filterable list of posts of type Releases
  On the right column of this view sticky posts of type Releases are displayed. To make a post sticky or remove stickiness, edit the post, and change this information on bottom of the right column under Promotion Options. 

• Main Articles
  Displays a paginatable, filterable grid of posts of type Article. 

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. 

​

​

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.

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.
