If you want to make a new field, first go to the template, called "Blog", in Special Pages and add the new field using the same formatting of an already existing field.  There are two places where this must be done:
 
-
* in the upper section of the template:
 
-
|newfield=
 
-
* and within the field definition section below (maintain the order of fields as in the first part):
 
-
[[Image:newfield.png|link=]]
 
-
The new field definition must also be added to the form using the syntax of other form fields.
 
-
* in Special pages go to Forms and then select the "Blog Page" form. 
 
-
* click the "edit" tab
 
-
* scroll down to where the properties are defined and in the same order as you entered on the template, insert the new field using the same formatting as the others (exmaple below)
 
-
[[Image:newProperty.png|link=]]
 
-
A new property must be defined.  In "Special Pages," under "Semantic Forms," select "Create a Property."  Our convention is to name it the same as the newfield.  Form name "Blogs" was added.  The property was of type "page."
 
-
Lastly, you must define a new filter and add this to the category page.

This is an algorithm that seems to work.
-
* in Special pages, scroll down to "Semantic Drilldown" and select "Create a filter"
+
 
-
* enter the name (same as new property name, e.g. newfield) and select the same property in the dropdown

-
* go back to Special pages and under "List of pages" select "categories" and then "Blogs"
+
Under the Special Pages there is a section "Semantic Drilldown"

* in the correct order add the filter (same name as the new property you created)

When you create a new blog page or edit an old one, the new property and attributes will appear when you "edit with form".  The filter should also appear now when you browse the database.

Adding Resources

To add a resource page, go to Special pages:Forms and select the Lecture Page or Reading Page form. Simply enter the title of the resource (and therefore resource page name) in the box and select "add or edit". You will then be directed to the form for this blog. Fill in the information and save.

Definitions

In the interface to the search database you will see a set of human-interface categories (as opposed to Mediawiki definition of category) for example, "Topics Covered." Within "Topics Covered" there is the name of many topics - "Adaptation," "Business," etc. In the language of the Mediawiki drilldown, "Topics Covered" is a "Filter" or a "Property." The name of the particular Topics Covered are "values." We call these values "attributes" in the following instructions.

In the Mediawiki definition, the category is "Lecture_Page" or "Reading_Page," and the "Filters" and "values" belong to this category. Therefore, on the "Category" page you define the "Filter," and on the "Filter" page you define the "Value."

Creating New Attributes

If you want to add an attribute to the form to an already existing field (a field is the property - example:Natural Variability) find the correct field and add the attribute to the "values=" list (this can be added in any order).

Go to Special Pages, Forms, Lecture_Page AND Reading_Page and edit these pages and add in "values" in correct field.

Go directly to Lecture_Page

http://climateknowledge.org/classes/index.php/Form:Lecture_Page

Go Directly to Reading_Page

http://climateknowledge.org/classes/index.php/Form:Reading_Page

Creating New Fields & Attributes

This is an algorithm that seems to work.


Under the Special Pages there is a section "Semantic Drilldown"

There are three pages,

"Browse Data"

"Create a Filter"

"Filters"

I wanted to add a new filter, to appear in the "Browse Data." I gave the filter the name "Basic Dynamics"

Then in "Filters", I edited the page and added the line

This filter covers the property Basic Dynamics.

There will then be a Property:Basic Dynamics, which I edited and added

This is a property of type Page.

(There is a "Types" page in the Lists of Pages and Types is one of the types.)


Under the Special Pages there is a section "Lists of pages."

Select "Categories" There are 3 Categories

Climate Change the Move to Action

Lecture

Reading

"Lecture" and "Reading" are really Sub-categories of Climate Change the Move to Action

I selected Climate Change the Move to Action

edited and added

Filter:Basic Dynamics

I then went back to the Reading Category and edited the "Form" "Reading Page" and added

! Basic Dynamics: | Basic Dynamics

(You can get directly to these forms at the Forms page under "Lists of pages."


This is not a logical flow ... I think I got all of the steps. But if you try it, and it doesn't work, then keep hacking around.
