Good Day Nuch;
It is Carris and I have been asked to assist you with your YaleSites Forum question(s). In order to be able to see or reproduce the situation, I will need to be added as an Administrator on your site, http://rsl.yale.edu/. My NetID is ct546. Please let me know when this is done so that I may further research the situation. Could you also provide me with a URL for the page(s) that this is happening on? This way I can see why this is happening and I can give you some guidance on how to avoid it. Once I see what the problem is, we can schedule office hours or possibly a phone call to discuss how to avoid this problem.
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.

Hello Carris,
I have added you as the administrator on our site (rsl.yale.edu).
Thank you.

Hi Nuch;
I have looked at your site and presently I don’t see anything broken or missing. I would be curious to see what is happening when there are problems that arise with the links to see if the module has the problem or if it is something fixable (in a permanent way).
That said, you are correct, the Biblio module is not being supported anymore. I have used Sanjana’s content type and view that she built for one of her sites and added to it for a lab site that I built. I think it would be great to meet with you to discuss your needs and see how we could modify the content type and view that we have been using for other lab sites to fit your needs.
We could export the content type and view that you like from another lab site and load it into your site. Then, if needed, we could alter the content type and view to fit your exact needs.
The only down side is that all the publications will have to be re-entered in your site. So if the Biblio module is not functioning correctly and requires fixes, it might be worth moving over your 137 publications to a content type and view type of display.
I am available for office hours most times of the week except Mondays mornings until 1 pm. Let me know what is good for you.
Regards,
Carris
Hi Carris,
Thank you for your help.
I like the idea of transferring the publication lists to a content type page and getting rid of the biblio.
I am currently working on the 2016 theme on the dev site. Once everyone agrees to use the new theme, then I will request your help to copy the content type from other site. I’ll be able to let you in a week.
Thank you again.

Hi Nuch;
I am just touching base with you to see if you are ready for an office hours appointment. Let me know if you are ready, if not, I am going to close out this request and you can put in a new one once you are ready to meet up.
Best Regards,
Carris
Hi Carris,
Thank you so much again for coming out to our office and helping us resolve our web sites issues this morning.
Everyone appreciates your assistance very much.
I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you on how we could fix our dev.rsl.yale.edu problems.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Nuch
Hi, Nuch:
I am just checking back with you to see if any of the issues we discussed during office hours still need my attention. Please let me know if everything is resolved.
Best regards,
Carris
Hi Carris,
Thank you for checking.
I have tried to adjust the people images per the instruction on ‘Adjust Thumbnail Images’. But I couldn’t. When I went to do the Configuration>Media>Image Styles, I could not find any style. It asked me to add the style.
I would like to keep the same style as current rsl.yale.edu-people page.
Would you mind to give me the direction - to adjust the people images to be the same as rsl.yale.edu ?
Thank you.
Best regards.
Nuch
