Create Content pages

GeoNetwork contains a basic CMS functionality, it is possible to add content pages or external links to various menu sections.

There is currently no UI element available to configure it. This document describes how you can configure pages using the interactive swagger api documentation page.

Both the Dutch and Minimal view are designed to facilitate content pages.

Step 1: Create a page

Locate on /geonetwork/doc/api the section pages > POST ../pages/. Click to expand. Click Try it out to find the form below. With these forms we can perform actions against the API.

Steps to create the page:

• Language use 3 letter convention dut, fre, eng

• pageId is the label at which the page is presented in the menu (use this id in subsequent steps)

• data is a file formatted as {format} that can be uploaded to the serve as page content

• alternative option is to use the link field to link to an external page

• format states the format used in above upload

Step 2: Publish the page

By default pages enter the system in a status private. You need to set their status to published to be able to see it. Use PUT STATUS to set the status.

Identify the page by its language and label. Then set the status to public, and click Execute

Step 3: Add page to a menu section

GeoNetwork has a couple of menu sections on which you can add your page. Relevant for the Dutch view are menu, top and bottom, and for the Minimal view menu and bottom.

Step 4: Review your work

Open the website, but you can also use the list API method to review all pages for any language.
