How to Set Up LocalGov Drupal Publication Pages with Custom Navigation

Staff Reporter

Big Blue Door’s guide outlines a step-by-step process for configuring Publication pages using the LocalGov Publications module in LocalGov Drupal.

To begin, users must install the LocalGov Publications module, accessible through the admin modules interface. Next, specific blocks such as the Publications page header, contents navigation, and table of contents must be added to the appropriate content regions. These facilitate structured navigation within and across publication content.

The guide emphasises creating a Publication content type and using the “Create a new publication” option to generate the publication outline. Cover pages can incorporate media fields like document name and file size. Navigation between pages is handled by the prev/next components located in the localgov_base/components/prev-next directory, although adjusting their position requires additional theming beyond the default top placement.
