How to Post

After a long and tedious journey, involving the clean-up of hundreds of pages and the rehaul of our IT infrastructure, we're happy to announce that the philosophy portal is "open for business" again!

With your "personal profile" or your "institutional profile", you can now propose your content on the portal.

• click on the pencil on the top right, then click on "new article";
• you will see the different fields that you have to fill (title, pre-headline, urlname, lead text).
• you need to add content to the article and for this, you click on "add block". Here you can choose between different kind of blocks for your page. These can be titles or subtitles which you need to use if you need to display different sections; text for regular text content; image for any image you need to upload, and events (just for institutions). Also, you can choose to add only one of the following: PDF block, audio block or video block.
• there is a section called "references" that you can use to add references for the pages, if any.
• Once you are done, click on "submit". If this is a new article, it will be reviewed by our team and you will be notified once it's published. If you are editing an already existing article, you will instead click on "save" and the change will be immediately visible.

If you have a personal profile, your article or reply will have the url "2024-10-13-luporini", if your username is "luporini-v", "luporini-va" or "luporini" and the article is posted on the 13th of October 2024, unless you post it anonymously. Once submitted, your article will be reviewed by our team and then published, with the date of the submission and a link to your personal profile. The team will also attribute keywords to your article, which will make it easier to find.

Once published, your article cannot be changed or deleted. If you have well-founded change requests, please contact us. Your article will show up on the general landing page and possibly also on the curated landing pages in English, French, Italian and German. Other users will be able to reply to it, and it will show up in some "thematic areas", depending on the keywords assigned to it.

You are responsible for the content of your article, even if it published anonymously, and for the intro picture. You need to add an intro picture, as the article will otherwise not show up on our overview pages. 

For more information about articles on the portal, find more information in English, German, French or Italian.

The "institutional profiles" concern those entities that organise or host events (not just universities and societies, but also research groups, associations, places, museums, cabinets, etc.). Once logged in, you can change the profile information, create information pages, and announce events

For each institutional profile, we also have a so-called "presentation page". It should present your organisation or institution, in a descriptive and "objective" manner if possible, and link to your own pages and websites. The presentation page is done by us, does not have an author and is also visible on the institutional profile. If you find incomplete or outdated information, or would like to have something added or changed, please let us know. 

Information pages are created by you under "new article", with a slug (= urlname) chosen by yourself. Note that the urlname has to be unique among all of the pages of the portal and should not contain special characters except for dashes. Good urlnames are, for example: "thumos-seminar-2024", "ratio-calendar-2023-2024" or "philosophische-buecher-lesen".

Information pages provide information about conferences, talks, colloquia, series of talks or group of events. Information pages can be linked to the events calendar: you can post events there by providing 

Information pages are attributed to the organisation and can be edited by whoever has the login data - the information provided (including pictures, videos etc.) is published under a CC-licence and attributed to your organisation as its author.

Once that you've created an "information page", then it will appear under "my contributions to philosophie.ch" in your profile and also on the home page.

For each organisation, we use either the organisational email or the email of a contact person, if we have it. If you'd like to change the contact person's email, please contact our portal manager Valentina Luporini (info@philosophie.ch).

Presentation pages

We distinguish between information and presentation pages. Information pages are "yours", presentation pages are "ours". We write presentation pages to present your institution or organisation by using the information we find. You can find the presentation page under your profile. (https://www.philosophie.ch/profil/{{LOGIN}}).

If you're unhappy with it or willing to provide some additional content, please let us know by contacting our portal content manager, Valentina Luporini, at info@philosophie.ch (French, Italian, German or English). Notice that she can also help you complete the information pages that already exist, or to create other additional "institutional profiles".

Note also that there can be many information pages but only one presentation page.

If you have problems posting on the portal, please write to our webmaster and IT engineer Luis Bordo at webmaster@philosophie.ch (French, Spanish, Italian or English).
