Transcript: English(auto-generated)
and through the web integrator at the University of Namur. And today she will talk about Plontis Classic for our local government website. Yes, in my talk I will explain our EMIO,
use Plontis for local authorities' public websites. First, the context and then the tool and its customization.
In Wallonia, a local authority can be a municipality, a town or a village, a social action center, a fire or police service, or a public company active in the energy or housing sector. And SmartWeb is the tool we offer to Walloon local authorities
to create their website. Today we have 205 websites, mainly for municipalities, and there are 262 municipalities in Wallonia.
Some websites are still in Plontis 5, 4 and 3, but since February of this year, we updated our offer with Plontis 6.
As you can see on this map, SmartWeb is well used all across Wallonia. So what is SmartWeb Plontis 6? It's a Plontis Classic with customizations to meet the needs of local authorities.
The needs are more flexibility to design pages, manage a lot of information in different sites and by multiple editors, and also be fully responsive and meet expectations of accessibility as fully as possible.
The first customization we did is a section-based approach for pages, where each section is a dexterity content type and each section is dedicated to a functionality.
So a new section can be created to meet a particular need. Let's see how it works to create such pages. Here, first we add the page.
Yes, we can add a lead image that is useful to display the folders that contain it. Here we add a text section.
The copy-paste text is automatically cleaned up to force content managers to use the online editor.
In the respect of the accessibility rules, yes, we can add only one image. You can choose the display of the size and the disposition to relate it to the text.
You have several options. If you want to add several images, you use a gallery section.
It starts with the upload option
and this way to add text and image, ensure a responsive design. You can see this.
Another example, a link section. Links section, with the section we offer a library of icons. It's useful for our users.
They can use them, for example, for quick access that is placed on the homepage of the website. This is a great resource.
And of course, you can drag and drop sections and redesign pages as you want, thanks to the layout options.
Here are several sizes to display the sections. You can try, you can modify, it's quite easy.
The second customization is extra features for folders and navigation.
This is mainly sub-site and partner-site mode and nice responsive navigation. Let's see it. Here we have a folder with several pages and sub-folders,
but we see only the default page view. But we can enable the sub-site mode and then a sub-menu appears and we can navigate in the folder as we do in the site.
You can also add a footer and a logo for a sub-site. In the same way, we can add... We can enable partner-site mode
and here is really the main navigation menu that it resets. It's very useful for terms that one offers to their partner on-site.
It's often used for social action center with other partners.
And this is the last point of the second customization, is responsive navigation.
The third customization for SmartWeb is the use of automatic sources.
We use three platforms, central websites, and all localities of Wallonia encode the information in this site. The information is displayed in each local authority website.
Thanks to sections, of course, we have events, contacts, and news sections, but also with ReactView, like this one for news, for events.
This function makes information sharing easier. And also the same information from direct spread, for example, can be displayed on multiple pages.
But this updating needs to be done once. And it guarantees the information and it's a time-saver.
And last customization for SmartWeb is a multi-site search engine. It's based on Solr and offers an instant search. It searches in the local authority website,
but also in the three authentic sources we've just seen. Let's see how it works with two examples of search, by keywords and by topics.
You can see the results displayed by content tips, information from websites, news, events, and contacts from directories. It's very practical and valued by our users.
To conclude, here we can find the existing SmartWeb 0.6 and, of course, code for developers.
Do you have questions? Laurent, from Asmitic, is there to help me to respond?
Did you use any existing packages like Mosaic or is that all custom-made? We use some existing packages, but not for the page compositing.
We use it for faceted navigation, for image cropping and stuff like that, usual stuff. But for the page block rendering and so on, it's pure from scratch.
For 200 different websites, how do you organize them? We organize workshops every month,
but also trainings, also in presidential by Visio, yes. In municipalities, they sign up, so you offer workshops and if they think they need training, they sign up. Can you repeat the questions for the people who are watching it online?
The first question, too, or only the second one? Whichever. The first one was, which product did we use to make the page composition? And the second question was,
how the municipalities were trained to use and to edit in the CMS?
Just a question. Do you handle these municipality sites in multilingual sites or do you have just monolingual sites? For now, we only have one language site,
but we are currently working on multilingual, so it's coming in the next weeks.
Thank you for your attention.
