Configuring Your Exhibit

To configure your exhibit, you need to configure:

1. Basic Settings
2. Languages & Translations
3. Appearance of your exhibit (see Exhibit Appearance on next page)

This page also covers:

1. Importing an existing exhibit into your new exhibit
2. Exporting your exhibit
3. Deleting your exhibit

Basic Settings

1. From your Dashboard’s sidebar, under Configuration, click General.

2. Fill out the Basic Settings tab. Here you can edit the title and tags you gave the exhibit at its creation as well as add a subtitle, description, and contact emails.
   1. The exhibit’s title will appear on the exhibit’s thumbnail on the expo.uoregon.edu homepage.
   2. The exhibit’s subtitle and description will appear on the verso of the thumbnail on the expo.uoregon.edu homepage.

3. Leave the Published box unchecked until your exhibit is complete and ready for viewing.

4. Click Save changes. 

Languages and Translations

1. Click the Languages tab. By default, your exhibit is in English.

2. Use the drop-down menu to select the languages you want represented in the site’s navigation.

This will only control the site’s navigation, not the exhibit’s content. Content must be translated by an admin or curator or using a translation add-on through the web browser.

3. Your alternate language selections will appear under Current Languages. You must check the box under Public to allow the user to change the language of the website’s navigation.

4. Click Save Changes.
5. To provide translations for your page, on the dashboard sidebar, under Curation, click Translations.

6. You will be taken to a page where you can provide translations for your metadata fields and content.

7. Input translations for each of the fields listed.  See the tabs across the top of the page to provide translations for other areas of your exhibit.
8. Click on Pages to provide translated content for each of your pages.  If a translated page is not provided, it will not show up in your exhibit when the alternate language is selected.

9. Click Save changes when you are finished.

Unless translations are provided, a “translation missing” error will show. Feature pages will not show at all unless a translated one is provided.

Import Data

1. Click the Import Data tab. If you have a JSON file for your exhibit, you can import it here.

2. Click Choose File and use the pop-up window to locate the file on your computer. Locate the file and click Open.
3. Click the Import Data button.
4. You will be redirected to your exhibit dashboard. Any previous title the exhibit had will change based on the data imported. Depending on how many items were in the exhibit you imported, it may take a few minutes for the system to reindex the items.

Export Exhibit

1. Click the Export Data tab.
2. Click Export Data to export a backup of your entire exhibit to a JSON file. This file can then be imported into a new exhibit.

3. A .json file will automatically download to your computer.

Delete an Exhibit

This will permanently delete your exhibit. It is highly recommended you export your data before deleting your exhibit.

1. Click the Delete Exhibit tab.

2. Click Delete.
3. The website will ask you to confirm. Click OK.

You will be redirected to the exhibits homepage.
