Science & Society Forum folder in Fiona

Creating a speaker page

  1. Inside the forums_20xx folder, use Edit > Copy tree of an existing folder and paste it in forums_20xx folder.

    This procedure copies the folder and any files within the folder. Careful on how deep it goes, or if there are large files involved.

  2. Edit the image inside the folder:

    • File > Import file and replace the photo (155x175px);
    • Rename the file to the speaker’s surname;
    • Change the title to be name, workplace.

  3. In the folder:

    • Change the name to the correct month-day of the talk;
    • Edit the float column to reflect the speaker’s name and workplace. The photo should already be the correct one that you changed before;
    • Edit the main content accordingly.

    If the abstract or biography is missing, write To be added in italics until you’re provided with one.

Adding a speaker to the list

  1. Open the Main content of the forums_20xx folder, copy an existing item and change accordingly.

  2. Copy and paste one of the images below the forums_20xx folders, rename it and replace the image.

  3. Depending on when is the talk, find a suitable order for this speaker to show up in the list.

  4. Copy what you added in the Main content of the forums_20xx folder and add the same information in the text column field of the image.

  5. Set a Valid until date to make Fiona hide the image after the talk is finished.

  6. If the previews are good, release all of the content (folders and images).

Editing the seminar database

Seminar Database

  • Make sure to be on the correct EMBL location.
  • Find the intended talk and click edit (right side) to change the contents.
  • Change accordingly and confirm that the event shows the information correctly.

The seminars database updates all information immediately, and you can find the seminars on the EMBL homepage under the news.
