Summary
Drupal faculty profile pages can contain data manually entered by department staff. This can include department affiliation, headshot images, additional biographical narratives, charts and images, and links to additional related focus areas. This article details how and when to add faculty and staff profile pages to your college or department.
Adding a Faculty Profile
New faculty member? No problem!
Now you don’t have to do anything to add a new full-time faculty member to your college website.
When a full-time faculty member joins your college, the faculty’s profile page is then automatically added to your college website from Banner. This is called auto-provisioning and occurs every night.
The profile first appears in the college-level directory. At this point, the college communicator or college website administrator edits the profile and adds the faculty member to the correct department within the college. The faculty member will then show up in the department directory. If you don’t see the profile, please contact Software Development.
Faculty associated with more than one college
If a faculty member is based in another college but teaches classes in your college, you'll need to create a new Person page in Drupal that links to their primary profile in the other college. First, open the faculty member's primary profile in the other college website and copy the URL of the page. Then create a new Person page in your Drupal site. Enter the faculty member's title and USNH username and select the "Faculty" role. Add the profile page URL you copied into the "External URL" field. This will pull the individual's profile information into your site. Add a profile photo if available.
Please note:
Do not type any faculty information in Drupal or create manual records. Adding manual records can lead to inaccurate, out-of-date, or duplicated information.
Faculty who are not in Banner should not be added to the college websites. For more information, please ccontact Website, Mobile & SharePoint Development & Design.
Editing a Faculty Profile
Faculty profiles include information from Banner, myElements and Drupal. See Drupal: Sources of Faculty Profile Page Information in this Knowledge Base.
The only information that should be added in Drupal is a photo of the professor.
Do NOT use these fields for faculty because the information comes from other sources:
- Body
- Professional Title
- Website
- C.V.
Adding a Staff Profile
Staff members are also automatically added to your college website once they have been added to Banner.
The staff member's profile first appears in the college-level directory. If necessary, the college communicator or college website administrator may add the staff member to the correct department within the college. The staff member will then show up in the department directory.
Entering a staff profile in Drupal
Do not type any staff information in Drupal or create manual records. Adding manual records can lead to inaccurate, out-of-date, or duplicated information.
Editing a staff profile
Staff profiles include information from Banner and Drupal. See Drupal: Sources of Staff Profile Page Information in this Knowledge Base.
Some fields can be edited in the profile:
- Photo (If a photo is not available, please use this UNH logo file)
- Body
- C.V.
- Professional Title
- Website
