Quick guide to the new web system

Editing is done through the 'Webdesk'. You log in to the webdesk at
https://www.uib.no/login -- using your normal username and password. I'm
not sure if the Webdesk is available in English, so I show the Norwegian
names as well below.

Navigation in the new system is centered around a menu towards the top
of each page.  You add pages to the menu structure either when editing
the page (through the 'Meny' subpage) or by editing the menu itself
("Oppdater områdemenyen"). Editing is done by drag-and-drop, and may
sometimes be a bit buggy -- so try again if it fails, and complain if it
doesn't work.

The new system consists of the following types of pages:

* Front page ("Forside") -- the single front page for a department or
group.  Is changed by updating the "Forsidelister" --  lists of things
that should appear on the front page. Regular users shouldn't have to
deal with this.

* Info page ("Infoside") -- a page of information.  The text is
displayed on the left, and on the right side there's an list of related
keywords. The text can have images ("bilder" -- small pictures with a
text beneath that gets floated to the right side of the text), and a
large image ("stort bilde", which appears towards the bottom of the
page. Info pages should be added to the menu structure, either as a
subpage of the main menu points, or of a navigation page.

* Navigation page ("Navigasjonsside") -- a page of links.  Navigation
pages form a node in the menu system and can have info pages and other
navigation pages as children.  The navigation page can have a text on
the left side, and the right side is filled with links to the subpages,
showing titles, lead ("ingress") and possibly a picture.

* Calendar entry ("kalenderoppføring") -- comes in many pages. It will
be displayed in the calendar box on the front page. Old entries are
archived in the calendar. Norwegian and English calendars are currently
separate -- we have complained about this.

* News story ("nyhetssak") -- is displayed in the "News" box on the
front page.  Can also be added to the main news stories on the front
page (via Oppdater forsidelister -> Nyheter).

Most people will probably use info pages, calendar entries and news stories.

The web system has a number of areas ("områder").  Each group or
department is a separate area, and Norwegian and English pages belong to
separate areas.  You can change the area you're working on by clicking
on "Bytt område" next to the title on the webdesk.

Pages can be edited by pressing "Edit page" at the top of the page if
you're viewing it while you're logged in.  You can also find the page
among your recent edits ("Siste oppdateringer") or by searching for it
("Finn innhold") and clicking "Rediger".  The editor you get in the
latter case is the same as the one for new pages, and is better in most
cases. The "Edit page" editor is a bit different, and has the additional
option of uploading attachments.

The page editor lets you enter a title ("Tittel"), lead ("Ingress") and
main text ("Tekst"). It supports a few simple edition options like bold,
italic, and so on. You can past text from web pages or from other
documents, and it will preserve some of the structure.  There is a
button for pasting as pure text ("Lim inn som ren tekst") -- this is a
good idea when the formatting of the original document is badly broken
in the new system.

Tekst can be either "Normal", "Undertittel" (subtitle) or "Menypunkt"
(menu point).  Undertittel is a normal section heading.  Menypunkt
creates a funny JavaScript-based subpage thing where only the text from
a single Menypunkt is shown at any moment, and you have to click on a
different menu title to see more text. This is likely to be confusing
for users in most cases.

We have very few options when it comes to formatting of pages and
presentation of information that don't fit in the page scheme.  This is
something we should complain about whenever we come across it. So, send
an email to Anya if you find something you have trouble fitting in to the new
scheme.
