Documentation:UBC Content Management System/What is a shortcode

2012-10-15T20:46:39Z

AdrianLiem: /* Shortcodes */

==Shortcodes==
{{Infobox CMS}}A Shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that is used in post/page content or the section widget to execute a piece of dynamic code.

For example, the shortcode ''[year]'' will display the current year. How can this be useful? Well if you ever write, "In 2010 things will be different" and want 2010 to automatically correspond to the current year, you can just write "In [year] things will be differrent" and the year will automatically correspond to the current year.

In other words, a shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do nifty things with very little effort.

Documentation:UBC Content Management System/Managing People Profiles and Directories

2012-10-15T20:38:10Z

AdrianLiem: /* [profilelist] shortcode */

Public profiles can be managed and displayed on a site through the use of the ''Profile Custom Content Type'' plugin.

Profiles can be centrally managed by the site administrator(s) as well as by the users.

== Setup ==

# From the Dashboard, select ''Tools'' -> ''Plugins'', then scroll down to ''Profile Custom Content Type'' and click the activate link on the right.
# A menu item called ''Profiles'' should appear in the left sidebar.

== Usage ==

Typically you will first decide what kind of information you want to display and how you want to organize profiles and set up a profile form and page layout following the instructions below.

After this your users can fill out or edit their profiles by logging in and going to ''Profiles''->''Public Profile''

== Configuration ==

[[File:Profile-settings-home.png|thumb|400px|The profile settings about page.]]

All customization and configuration settings can be found in ''Profiles'' -> ''Settings'' on the dashboard.

The settings section is separated into tabs, which are described in further detail in the following sections.

Initially the About tab will be displayed which contains an overview of how to set everything up.

=== Form Builder ===

[[File:Profile-form-builder.png|thumb|400px|The Form Builder tab]]

To customize the form your users will fill in, go to ''Profiles'' -> ''Settings'' and select the ''Form'' tab.

On the left you will see a list of fields you can add to your form, and in the rest of the space a preview of the form layout is displayed. Adding, removing, and rearranging fields can all be done simply by dragging and dropping. There are 3 sections here where fields can be placed, the main area, the sidebar and a tabbed area beneath the main area. Any number of tabs can be added to hold fields.

*To add a field, simply drag it from the side column into the form preview where you want that field to go.
*To remove a field, drag it from the preview back to the side column.
*To move fields around you can drag them to a different spot in the preview.

Most of the form fields can be further customized by clicking on the Edit button seen in the corner of a field. From here you can hide individual input boxes and add a description, such as instructions to the users who will be filling out the form.

Many fields have an ''Add another'' button, allowing a user to add multiple values. This can be disabled for a particular field by clicking on its ''Edit'' link. The ''Add another'' buttons are not active on the form builder page.

Please note that form layout and the public profile page layout displayed on the site can be customized independently from each other. This means adding a field to the form won't automatically add it to the Profile view.

Need more fields? Additional custom fields can be created from the ''Profiles'' -> ''Settings'' page in the ''Fields'' Tab. When you create a field you can select an existing one for it to behave like, or you can use a generic text or textarea input.

=== Profile View and List View Builder ===

Two different profile layouts can be configured, the ''List View'' intended for displaying a list of people, probably with only basic information, and the ''Profile View'', intended for displaying more details on an individual person.

Editing these views is similar to using the form builder, you can drag and drop fields you want to display. Fields that are included in the form view will be highlighted blue in the left column to make it easier to identify the fields you are currently collecting and probably want to display.

In addition to the regular fields, any custom taxonomies you create (see below) will appear in the left column.

If you hover over one of the fields in the preview area, there is again an edit button in the corner which you can use to customize how the fields will display. All fields contain a variety of CSS selectors too so you can fully customize how profiles look with some simple CSS.

=== Taxonomies ===

[[File:Profile-taxonomy.png|thumb|300px|Managing taxonomies]]

Taxonomies work like [[Documentation:UBC_Content_Management_System/Tags|tags]] and [[Documentation:UBC_Content_Management_System/Categories|categories]] in WordPress, you can use them to categorize and filter profiles.

To add taxonomies, ''Profiles'' -> ''Settings'' and select the ''Taxonomy'' tab.

Any taxonomies that are created will show up on the side column of the edit profile page so the user can select the appropriate terms that correspond to them.

They will also show up on the List and Profile view builder screen as a field you can add, so you can make the profile display the categories the person is assigned.

Lastly, they will also show up in the dashboard sidebar menu under ''Profiles'' for administrators, here you can manage terms related to each taxonomy.

=== Settings ===

Miscellaneous settings for the plugin can be found at ''Profiles'' -> ''Settings'' in the ''Settings'' tab. Here you can change the profile picture size and permission settings, as well as profile ordering and customizing how users can filter profiles on a profile list page.

Note that profile pictures that have already been uploaded will not be adjusted automatically if you change the size settings, so it's best to decide on a size before profiles are added.

== Managing Profiles ==

=== Creating a Profile ===

[[File:Profile-public-profile.png|thumb|280px|Where your users can go to edit their profiles]]

You can create a new profile by going to ''Profiles'' -> ''Add New'' in the dashboard.

Here you will be presented with the form that was built in the settings page.

If you have your users fill in their own profiles, they will log in and click ''Edit Public Profile'' to enter their information. By default if a users role is ''Subscriber'' or ''Contributor'' they will be able to fill in their profile information and save it, ''but not publish it.'' This can be changed in the ''Settings'' tab in ''Profiles''->''Settings'' under ''Permissions''

=== Managing Profiles ===

Under ''Profiles'' -> ''Profiles'' a list of all profiles will be displayed, as well as links to edit, view or delete.

==Displaying profiles and people lists on your site==

The plugin will automatically generate pages for individual profiles as well as lists of people.

Typically a persons profile will be found at ''example.ubc.ca/person/firstname-lastname''

A list of all profiles can be found at ''example.ubc.ca/person/''

Lists of people tagged/categorized by a taxonomy can be found at ''example.ubc.ca/{taxonomy-name}/{taxonomy-value}'', for example, if you have a taxonomy called 'role' and terms like student, staff, faculty etc, a list of all students would be displayed on ''example.ubc.ca/role/student''

===Displaying profiles with shortcodes===

If you want to integrate profile information into other pages and posts and display profile lists based on more elaborate criteria, the plugin offers 2 [[Documentation:UBC_Content_Management_System/Shortcodes|shortcodes]] to enable this functionality.

==== [profile] shortcode ====

The [profile] shortcode can be used to display a single profile.
usage: [profile person="''slug''"] where ''slug'' typically is of the format ''firstname-lastname''

By default, it will display the full profile view (as configured at Profiles -> Settings -> Profile View), but you can also pass in the parameter display="list" to show the list view instead.
example: [profile person="bob-smith" display="list"] will show Bob Smith's profile and display the list view only rather than the full view.

==== [profilelist] shortcode ====

The [profilelist] shortcode enables you to display lists of people anywhere on the site.

By default it will display ''all'' the profiles, and it will use the list view (as configured at Profiles -> Settings -> List View)

You can also filter by taxonomy, for example, if you have a taxonomy called 'role' you could use [profilelist role="student"] to display a list of profiles with the role 'student' assigned to them. You can filter on multiple taxonomies as well. Example: [profilelist role="student" school="UBC"] would return students from UBC.
By default if multiple criteria are specified then only profiles matching ''all'' of the criteria will be displayed. You can add query="or" to the shortcode to display profiles matching ''any'' one of the criteria instead.

You can also display an arbitrary list of people by using [profilelist include="12, 20, 23, 25"] where you pass in a list of numbers corresponding to profile IDs

The [profilelist] shortcode also can take display="full" to show full profiles instead of the list view, as well as display="name" to only show a list of names.

To display your list based on the order in the Order Profiles page, set the "orderby" parameter to "menu_order" as follows: [profilelist orderby="menu_order"]

== Bugs ==

The Profile plugin is still under development. If you encounter any unexpected behaviour please email cms.support@ubc.ca with as much detail as possible about what you were trying to do and what went wrong.

AdrianLiem: added graphic showing page layout dimensions

{{Infobox CLF Theme}}

The UBC CLF offers 6 default page layout options. These page layouts can be set for all pages at once, or they can be set for each individual page.

'''''Note that an individual page's layout will overwrite the default layout set for all pages.'''''

==Layout Options For All Pages==
The default page layout can be set so that it is consistent throughout your entire website by selecting one of the 6 default layout options under ''Appearance > Theme Options > Layout'' in the WordPress ''Dashboard''. Once you have chosen your layout, click on the "Save Changes" button to save your preferences.

[[File:Layout_Options.jpg|thumb|none|450px|The Theme Options' Layout section]]

'''PLEASE NOTE:'''

The layout you pick will be applied to all pages of your site with the exception of the Frontpage. To [[Documentation:UBC Content Management System/CLF Theme/Frontpage Options#Frontpage Layout|customize the layout of the Frontpage]], click on the Frontpage tab found under ''Appearance > Theme Options'' in the WordPress ''Dashboard''. For more details please refer to this [[Documentation:UBC Content Management System/CLF Theme/Frontpage Options#Frontpage Layout|page]].

==Layout Options For a Single Page==
You can also customize the layout of a particular page while creating or editing a page by selecting one of the 6 pre-defined layout options under "Page Layout" on the right-hand side of the screen in ''Edit Page'' mode.

Thanks, Scott. Transclusion is what I had in mind (and was what I was trying to say with "re-including"), just couldn't remember the term for it!

AdrianLiem: Reply to Splitting off sections into their own pages

This might be a discussion better moved off this talk page, but briefly: Yes, I've seen the proposed example and had actually done the same thing within the Cardinals site originally. A few factors at play kept it from progressing beyond a proof of concept (mostly buy in / participation, infrastructure and formal ownership of such a piece). This might be changing with the organizational changes happening and is a discussion that can probably be opened up again shortly. For now, though, the Wiki has proven to generate the largest level of participation and contributions, so I'm inclined to keep working with the progress we've made here on the wiki until we have a better sense of what direction an "official/proper" directory will go.

2012-06-21T17:31:30Z

AdrianLiem:

I was thinking of splitting off the sections on this page into their own unique pages and then re-including them here on the main listing page. The benefit of this will be that people could then embed a sub-section of the master list and add it to their own websites (e.g. via WordPress WikiEmbed). Right now (unless I'm missing something), it's an all-or-nothing with embedding content from this wiki page. I hope this makes sense, but if anyone has a better approach or reason to not do this, by all means revert things back.

UBC A Place of Mind Social Media Aggregator Website

2011-03-24T19:22:50Z

AdrianLiem:

The Place of Mind web site [http://www.aplaceofmind.ubc.ca www.aplaceofmind.ubc.ca] shines a light on the myriad ideas and innovations being created every day by the UBC community, around the important topics of health, sustainability, business & politics, learning, arts & culture and student life. The site is a daily aggregation of social content from UBC students, faculty, researchers, and staff who have given UBC permission to aggregate or copy their blogs, tweets, or other newsfeeds on this site.

The content presented on this web site reflects the independent views of each individual contributor and does not set out UBC's official position. We hope the variety of views presented here will provide exciting insight into the many things that are being done at UBC. Through our various RSS feeds you can subscribe to the content that most interests you from the diverse set of talent at UBC.

We're always looking for relevant content, so if you are a member of the UBC community and think your content would be a good fit for the site, please send an email to [mailto:info.aplaceofmind@ubc.ca info.aplaceofmind@ubc.ca].

Participation is completely voluntary, and if at some point in the future you choose not to participate anymore, just send an email to the same address, and UBC Public Affairs will remove your feed. You always maintain ownership and editorial control of your work, and assume full responsibility and liability for it. UBC will not alter your work and assumes no liability for its content. However, if it comes to UBC's attention that the content may infringe on the intellectual property of a third party or is defamatory, UBC reserves the right to remove articles in their entirety. UBC also reserves the right to decline to include or to discontinue inclusion of content on this web site if, in the view of UBC Public Affairs, the content would not achieve UBC's goal of enhancing the discussion about the topics noted above.

This site is a platform for the sharing of ideas and the fostering of discussion - please be [http://www.hr.ubc.ca/respectful-environment respectful] of your fellow readers and contributors.

==Next Steps==
===Slideshare===
Our next steps with the site is to add a Slideshare tab. If you aren’t familiar with SlideShare, you can learn more about it on [http://www.slideshare.net/about their site]. Before we add the tab to our site, we need to find some great presentations by the UBC community to add to our channel: [http://www.slideshare.net/ubc www.slideshare.net/ubc].

If you or your colleagues have any presentations that you feel would be a good fit within the above themes, please let us know. Some key points to keep in mind:

* Participating is easy – just email us the deck at [mailto:info.aplaceofmind@ubc.ca info.aplaceofmind@ubc.ca], with the presentation’s title and author. If you are sending it on someone else’s behalf, please attach an email or other evidence from the author that you have their permission to share it with us. SlideShare accepts the following file types, up to a max of 100 MB file size:
:Presentations: pdf, ppt, pps, pptx, ppsx, pot, potx (Powerpoint); odp (OpenOffice); key, zip (Apple Keynote)*
:Documents: pdf, doc, docx, rtf, xls (MSOffice); odt, ods(OpenOffice); Apple iWork Pages
* Participating is entirely optional, and if at any point in the future you wanted us to remove a particular presentation, just email us your request at the same email address.
* Contributors always maintain ownership and editorial control of their work, and assume full responsibility and liability for it. We will not edit any of the presentations we receive.
* If it comes to our attention that a particular presentation may infringe on the intellectual property of others or is defamatory, then we will remove it.

If you have questions or comments about the aggregator, email us at [mailto:info.aplaceofmind@ubc.ca info.aplaceofmind@ubc.ca]

AdrianLiem: /* Social Media Brief */

==Social Media Brief==
Before embarking on a social media initiative, it's important to consider how your efforts in social media fit into broader strategies and goals of your unit as well as the university. Many of the tools used in social media may be free, but free to use does not equal no cost to implement and support.

====Purpose====
* Why are you setting up a social media presence?

====Goals & Objectives====
* What do you hope to achieve with this social media presence?
* How will you measure performance, progress, and success?
* How will you know when you've achieved your goals?

====Audience====

* Who do you want to reach out to?
* Who is your audience and how do you want to connect with them?

====Resources & Approval====
* Who needs to give their "ok" to launch this initiative? Who is the business owner?
* What kind of resources will be required to maintain this initiative?
* Does your unit have the required skills and knowledge?
* How will you staff this initiative? How long will you be able to provide this level of support?

====Collaboration====
* Who else will be impacted by your initiative?
* Are there any other units already embarking on a similar project?
* Are there other units that you can collaborate with?

You may not have all the answers, or in some cases the answer may be "we don't know", but at least taking the time to ask and answer these questions will help you plan an initial strategy.
