Application Developer Site - Drupal guidelines

Location

The pilot site is here. To get access please contact Ronan Mac Laverty (macron/maclaver).

Access rights

To create content on the developer.meego.com site you need to have editor privileges. These can be obtained from the following people:

  • Teemu Lukkari (ActiveArk)
  • Ronan Mac Laverty (Nokia)
  • Gil Quim (Nokia)
  • Michael Shaver (Intel)
  • Bob Spencer (Intel)

Content Types

The Drupal site allows you to create the following content types

  • Guide - Used for practically everything, but primarily Guides (User interaction, tutorials)
  • Note - Used for developer notes and release Notes
  • Page - A general free-form HTML page (DO NOT CURRENTLY USE, if you think its needed its important to try to abstract the need and make a general content type if possible)
  • Promo block - A brief Image/text combination used to link to content (like external web pages, or to guides but using custom text or images)
  • Section Headers - Top level pages (Home, Introduction, ....)
  • Section Headers with view - Top level pages with embedded views (lists)

For the majority of people only use the Guide information format.

How to insert content

On the top left hand corner menu (with a wrench symbol) there is a "Create Content" tab just below "Context Inspector", this is used to insert content. The easiest way to get started is to practice on the meego_sandbox.dev.dh-te.com site and then do the real thing on meego.dev.dh-te.com.

For the Guide content type there are several sections:

  • Title
  • Second title - Appears between the Intro and the body
  • Images - Used to place images into the Guide
  • Body
  • Resource block - An insert useful for placing links/quotes
  • Related content - Links to related content on the developer site
  • Intro text/Image - this appears at the top of the page as an introduction (the content creation page has this at the bottom.
  • List information - Images/text used to display the Guide when viewed inside a list or on Section heads
  • Next Content - A link to the next element in the Guide
  • Menu settings - Places this content onto the information architecture.
