[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Add a static web page to ArchivesSpace PUI?

Mon Nov 4 08:18:26 EST 2019

Hi Kara,

Yes, following the process for requesting a new feature in JIRA is described at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/19202060/How+to+Request+a+New+Feature. If you need help with that, feel free to reach out to the ArchivesSpace Program Team at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org<mailto:ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org>.

By the way, if some enterprising person wanted to take James’ very helpful plugin and turn it into core code, we’d be very interested. It seems like this feature is already most of the way there. We have some suggestions for turning plugins into core code at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/349995159/Turning+an+ArchivesSpace+Plugin+into+Core+Code.

Hi Kara,

Yes, there is no need to initialize this plugin.

And, sorry, I have no idea how you might request this as an enhancement.

Cheers,
James

Thank you James!! and Andrew!
I wasn't sure if I needed to run initialize-plugin.sh on this, so I did and got this.

Fetching: bundler-1.16.1.gem (100%)
Successfully installed bundler-1.16.1
1 gem installed

[!] There was an error parsing `Gemfile`: No such file or directory - /var/local/archivesspace/plugins/static_pages/Gemfile. Bundler cannot continue.

I figure I didn't need to initialize and this error doesn't matter, but just checking.

Correct. You only have to run that script if the plugin requires some Gems that aren’t already included in that web app core.
That there isn’t a Gemfile in the plugin directory indicates that it doesn’t need to bundle any additional Gems.
And when you run the Bundler, it’s telling you that there is no Gemfile.

Also, if I want to put this in as a request for an enhancement for the core code, should I put create a new feature request in Jira the project ANW?  Is that the proper channel?
Thanks again!
Kara

That’s funny - shows how much testing I did.

Should be good now.

This looks really cool.
But – What am I doing wrong.
When I put html in the file to be included, it comes out on the page looking like this:

<div class="row>">
<h2>This is a test</h2>
<p>This is always a test</p>
<p>Tests are what I do.</p>
<h3>here is a heading</h3>
<p>This is always a test</p>
<p>Tests are what I do.</p>
<h3>here is a heading</h3>
<p>This is always a test</p>
<p>Tests are what I do.</p>
</div>

So it is rendered on the page as looking like html code instead of the page elements.

Hi James,

Your original version will be useful to us, because we're probably going to want to add extra help pages to our staff interface for cataloguers transferring over from Archivists' Toolkit. And reading the static HTML from a file instead of building from ERB templates means they can be updated without restarting the service.

Andrew.

Just a quick follow up on this,

I had misread the spec and only provided the static page facility on the staff interface - should have been on the PUI. Andrew Morrison noticed my oops and corrected it, so now it should work on both.

Cheers,
James

Hi Kara,

This seemed like a useful thing that I don’t think exists yet, so I made a plugin to do it:

https://github.com/hudmol/static_pages<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fhudmol%2Fstatic_pages&data=02%7C01%7Cmmcderm2%40bowdoin.edu%7Cba385a72cd7e410af06808d75c922b6b%7C984e32e5f98a4600aa3227c3f948abe3%7C1%7C0%7C637079655247704983&sdata=3Bng1MYFjxJHlTQ6lJ55akP7E03uaavW2QqOaqaTxMg%3D&reserved=0>

Maybe it can be a useful starting point.

Cheers,
James

Hi all,
I want to be able to add static web pages to ArchivesSpace.  I'd like to incorporate the header, top nav, and footer and be able to just add what I want in the middle.  I'm basically hoping to create general FAQ, search help, about pages that live in my ArchivesSpace local plugin.  Is this possible?

I did find a way to add a page by putting a .html doc into /archivesspace/plugins/local/public/assets, but I have to manually copy in the head, navigation, header, and footer, which is obviously not ideal for updating and probably other reasons.

If there isn't a way to do this, where is the proper place to suggest this enhancement?  Should I create a new feature request in Jira the project ANW? (https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/projects/ANW/issues/?filter=allissues&=<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farchivesspace.atlassian.net%2Fprojects%2FANW%2Fissues%2F%3Ffilter%3Dallissues%26%3D&data=02%7C01%7Cmmcderm2%40bowdoin.edu%7Cba385a72cd7e410af06808d75c922b6b%7C984e32e5f98a4600aa3227c3f948abe3%7C1%7C0%7C637079655247714980&sdata=hYi3qwEBVeHLtGGn84PtZF4aC4SuJzLwffHekiKGck4%3D&reserved=0>)

Thanks for any help,
Kara
