Content Collection Tool Wordpress Plugin
Introduction
The content selection tool lets community editors select certain items to be featured on displayeurope.eu. The items to select from are made available by the datasources using the Transposer Wordpress Plugin. For the start this will be Eurozine, VoxEurop and Krytyka Polityczna.
Editors of these sites publish articles in their Wordpress CMS as they usually do. In order that content can be featured on the display portal, they additionally need to auto-create 15 translations of their articles by pressing a button and add the tag „displayeurope“ to them. As soon as this is done the corresponding article will be visible and searchable in the portal’s content selection tool. Community editors can search for these items, check their contents and translations for completeness and assign them to be displayed in a certain content area on the page.
Content areas
We assume that there will be different content areas defined (e.g. thematically like ‚politics‘ or ‚culture‘ or otherwise) where content items can be displayed.
When opening an area a modal will appear, divided into two sections:
- Left one shows the already selected articles in this area.
- Right one shows the search interface that lets one search by full text and apply additional filters for publication date, original language and tags/categories.
The search results will be displayed below the search bar. Each item is displayed as a preview in the current selected interface language (if available) and contains :
- Title
- Publication Date
- A number and list of existing translations. The list can be investigated further by clicking on the „see all“ link to briefly check the quality and completeness of translations.
- An „add to area“-button that assigns the article to the selected area (and to the list in the left column)
- The article’s order can be changed by simply dragging and dropping
TODO:
- 2nd iteration to be done by Pablo after feedback from the Community Editors -> Ingo moderates the process
- Who will do the UI coding?
