Cifar - sanctions watch

Structure

If you only want to update some content displayed, have a look into the data directory, as if contains most of the displayed texts.

• data/ Contains all data displayed on the website
• data/countries Contains all country relevant data
• data/home Contains all the content displayed in the blocks of the homepage
• data/pages Contains the about and report page
• data/people Contains the import of all persons from the google sheet
• data/translations Contains the translations of the people keys

General site data, such as the twitter/ facebook link or the page title is located in gatsby-config.js.

All pages can contain markdown in the body text. Some frontmatter fields of a person can also contain markdown. Supported fields: gatsby-node.js.

Report

The report (located in data/pages/report.md) is capable of rendering footnotes, which doesn't follow a markdown standard. In order to add a footnote you have to use:

Lorem ipsum dolor. ##Footnote Text##

The footnote text can contain markdown, to e.g. render links.

Lorem ipsum dolor. ##Footnote Text with [link](http://sanctionswatch.cifar.eu).##

Images

Portraits of the people under sanctions are stored in static/media. The filenames always have to start with the ID of the person and have to be at least 600px wide.
