The website is generated from markdown files, which consist of plain text files with a very light syntax to add headers, make lists or make text bold, add images.
The source files are hosted in a git repository, and there is an interface to edit these files with a preview at https://library.rietveldacademie.nl/admin/.
Once you login, there is a list of different pages on the left, some of which are static /information pages that can be edited (Resources, Projects, Other Pages), some other are page collections to which you can add new ones ( Events and Book Selections )
If you click on one of the pages, you are sent to an editor in which you can switch between markdown editor and a “rich text” editor. For more information on the markdown syntax, you can refer to this markdown guide: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/, but you can also just use the rich text editor.
After making a modification, if you want to discard it, you can just click in the upper left corner to go back, where it says “UNSAVED CHANGES”, and it will just drop the modifications.
If you want to save the edited page, you can click on Publish –> Publish Now. After few seconds, the changes should automatically appear on the website. If they don’t, please first check with a had refresh if it is a cache problem, and if it is not, get in touch with Infrastructural Manoeuvres to let us know!
You can upload images by either clicking on the Media link on the top left corner in the main page, or while editing a page with the rich text editor, you have a + icon with inside an add Media option. Please do not upload images bigger than 2MB, resize them before upload to keep a lighter load on the website and on people’s browsers.
