LibGuides for Authors

You can use widgets to embed FAQs into guides. A widget with topical FAQs can keep your guide up to date. Eg:

FAQ Widgets can be designed to search all FAQs, provide a set list of FAQs or show a single FAQ in full. Springshare instructions are here:

Have you been to a webpage when you've moused over some of the text and a pop up box appears? You can do this in LibGuides with a little bit of effort, just follow these steps:

1. Select Add/edit text.

2. Using the plain text editor - insert the necessary code at the appropriate spot, see code in the image below.

3. You will also need to add this code to the Custom JS/CSS Code on your guide

Look at the links below for examples from our guides of popup text.

This is quite useful for terminology and providing additional information on your guides.

First, create an asset for the document. Then use the URL for that document to replace the URL in this widget code:

<iframe src="https://libguides.jcu.edu.au/ld.php?content_id=47991540"
style="width: 100%; height: 800px"></iframe>

You can change the height dimensions to work within the needs of your box, but it is advisable to leave the width at 100%.

Then add a Media / Widget section to the box in which you want the embedded PDF to appear. Use the amended widget above to complete the box.

For example:

Firefox has a habit of jumping to the Captivate tutorials. Using this code for the iFrame used seems to fix it:

<embed src="https://libserver.jcu.edu.au/infolit/Harvard_AGSM/index.html" width="400" height="240" id="my_div" style="display:none;">

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

window.onload=function()

{

setTimeout(func1, 2000);

};

function func1()

{

document.getElementById("my_div").style.display = "block";

}

</script>
