Open from previous meetings

• Translation link behaviour...
  • In a view, when "Link to content" is used, this does not work for an image in a translated page
  • similar to https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2802311
  • example: https://www.un-spider.org/es/aplicacion-espacial/mecanismos-de-emergencia
  • view: https://www.un-spider.org/admin/structure/views/view/guides_listing/edit/block_1
  • the link on the spanish page still redirects to english page
    • Solution attempt: create link url with "Rewrite results", using translation language and node id
    • however, using this would add a "en" to the english urls, which does not work
    • ... tried to solve this with Views Conditional (if translation language = en; do no use language code in url), however the "en" was still kept in the link urls...
  • ... currently no solution (Werner to check)
• How to remove navigation for certain recommended practices without breaking everything...
  • https://www.un-spider.org/advisory-support/recommended-practices/recommended-practice-flood-hazard-mapping
  • https://www.un-spider.org/advisory-support/recommended-practices/recommended-practice-radar-based-flood-mapping
  • first try: via "Outline" - "Remove from Book Outline", did not work
  • task for Werner: other option, via CSS disable book navigation for node types (by Werner)
    • recommended practices
    • recommended practices in detail
    • recommended practices step by step
• Juan Carlos mails requests with security
  • requirements by OICT
  • being dealt with by Werner w/ Mateja
    • Martin to check w/ Juan Carlos what is still required
• Date Format
  • Due to the change of date formats, some tables need to be redesigned (some columns need to be wider)
    • task for Werner: readjust tables as defined by Martin (see mail)
• Font color (CSS Theme)
  • in some cases, content appears in black, instead of darkgrey
  • e.g. Field "Test Site" https://www.un-spider.org/advisory-support/recommended-practices/recommended-practice-agriculture-drought-monitoring
  • needs to be changed in CSS
  • task for Martin: collect pages where this occurs and send it to Werner...
    • if others are found, inform Werner again
  • task for Werner: check and adjust for the cases that have been sent already (see mail)
• Concept for better categorization of Data Sources
  • https://un-spider.org/links-and-resources/data-sources
  • e.g. distinction between: Raw Data Sources, Services, Applications
  • Task for Martin: define categorization values
    • create new taxonomy, enter values + translations, include as new field to "Data Sources"
      • "Create referenced entities if they don't already exist" unchecked!!
• Insert a disclaimer in the homepage (landing page). We used to have one in the previous versions, but I did not see it two weeks ago when we were discussing this issue. The disclaimer helps us raise awareness regarding the fact that the Portal is only for information purposes, and that any maps do not represent the official view of the UN on boundaries or territories.   If you cannot find it, I will also look for the text.
  • never existed, however, can be implemented
  • Task for Martin: provide text and where it needs to go...
• Free tagging Taxonomy
  • Taxonomy values in general need to be checked...
    • e.g. https://un-spider.org/category/tagging/regional-support-office is empty....
      • bad example... there is no taxonomy regional support office
    • Task for Martin: check again what is happening here...
    • Task for Werner: check what is wrong with the taxonomy value pages...
      • URL alias directing to non existing terms
      • taxonomy term does not have content - empty page - "no result behaviour" needs to be adjusted
        • did not work first try, Werner will check
• "Referenced RSO" translations..
  • we know the cause of it now and need to monitor it, if translations exist for RSOs, these are also listed in the Referenced RSOs, as soon as the translations are finalised, we can consider to include a filter, to only have the RSOs in the right translation/language, that is currently being used
  • status: translations finished
  • needs to be handled via a view, setting to be changed in the field settings, reference method: view (change from default)
    • view needs to be created first - reference view, in view can be set to language, following interface

 

Backlog (not working on this at the moment, but for future task planning purposes)

• Question: If we wanted to implement a calendar like: https://www.space4water.org/events how would this work?
  • need a module to be installed and a view needs to be created + css to polish...
•  
  •  

Tasks with no solutions at the moment (here for documentation purposes)

• New role needed
  • Intern w/ permissions to create translations
    • ... working with ICanLocalize Translator role, configured by Werner
    • role was defined and set with needed permissions, but still problems with creating translations... Translator role did not work as planned... Nuria currently using site admin role
    • not solved... translators will need to be site admins for now

 

Solved since last meeting

 

Follow-ups

Next meeting:

14.9.2023, 14:30h

 

To be scheduled (depending on Werner's and Martin's availability):

• working on broken links script Werner assisting Martin
  • ... also check potential usage of tools for this, instead of creating script
• dedicated meeting w/ Werner about search function
• perhaps specific meeting for JCV publication...
