Fixing Broken Links

Some of the links on the website don’t work as intended. Sometimes content is moved around, removed entirely, or part of an archive that is no longer online. Links that don’t work are crossed over. However, some working links also appear like that. To make sure users can easily find academic resources about interesting subcultures, we need to update the broken links on the website.  

  1. Skim the page to find a crossed over link.
  2. Click on it.
  3. If the link is crossed and it doesn’t take you to the work cited, look up the article/film/etc. on the Grinnell Libraries portal and Google Scholar. If you can’t find it, email Burling (query@grinnell.edu) for help locating it or finding a similar resource. Otherwise, substitute the broken link for a working one.
  4. If the link is crossed, but it takes you to the correct page, email Livia.

Removing Fruitful Tabs Markers

Fruitful Tabs is a site formatting plugin that was used in the initial version of the website. It is no longer used, however, the markers used to denote the formatting remain on the site. To make Subcultures and Sociology cleaner and more user-friendly, we need to remove these markers from the pages.

 

  1. Read the entire page from the start, looking for anything including the word “fruitful” (fruitful_tab, fruitful_sep, etc.)
  2. Delete any markers.
  3. Press Ctrl + F (the “find in page” command). Type “fruitful”. Make sure that there are 0 matches. If there are any matches, check to ensure they are part of the text. Otherwise, delete them.

Adding a Table of Contents

A table of contents helps readers find their specific interests more easily. It is particularly helpful for users who use text-readers to navigate, as it allows them to skip to the content they want. We will be adding a table of contents widget to the top of each subculture page.

 

  1. Hover the mouse over the first block on the page. It is usually text or an image. A pink bar with a “+” sign on the left will appear. Click on that plus sign.
  2. A white box with a gray “p” in the middle will then appear. Click that new “+”. 
  3. A selection of available widgets will appear on the left. Search for “table of contents”.
  4. Select the “table of contents” widget.
  5. If it is in the right spot (at the top of the page under the name of the subculture) leave it. Otherwise, hover the mouse over it until the pink bar from before appears. Now, click and hold the middle sign with 6 dots. Move the table to where you want it to be.
