G·IPRs Help Center - The Basics
G•IPRs is a website based on Drupal, a open source software. The website is more like an intellectual property knowledge database created and maintained by all the authenticated users. G•IPRs help center lists out some basic conceptions and common questions. You can submit new questions to us through “Contact Us” or visit Drupal handbooks for more information.
Almost all the contents on G•IPRs are stored as “nodes”. When we talk about a node, a piece of content on G•IPRs is referred to such as a piece of Legal Text, Blog, Forum or Comment and so forth (these are the types of contents reflecting though nodes).
Taxonomy means various systems of classification used to categorize contents. The software “Drupal” G•IPRs uses to build the website defines its system of classification by this word and we respectively manage and show the contents of our website by classification. On G•IPRs, taxonomy refers to the congregation of many classifications, while the vocabulary of classification is “Term”.
The default language of G•IPRs is English and the system is equipped with multi-lingual system which can be extended at any time. Recently, we have two language versions of Chinese and English. We will add new languages if necessary. The multi-lingual system of G•IPRs mainly applys to nodes (i.e. contents of articles), not including other contents like menu, button and taxonomy and so forth. Translations consist of contribution of authenticated users or the official texts of legislative, administrative or judicial files which is out of the protection of copyright law.
After clicking the “Translate” button on the text page of articles on the website (under the title of the article), you can check the translation status of the article; if there is no translation, you can add one to your articles or others’ after log-in.
G•IPRs adopts Google Custom Search Engine through which you can search articles of the website with key words. The newly-posted articles might not be collected immediately by Google so that your search result may not include such articles. But it will be convenient for you to see the latest articles on Home Page, Blog, Forum and the classification page of Category on the left side.
After clicking "My account" on the top of the website, there is a “Tracker” button under the user name. The articles you have posted and the content type, title, author’s name, number of comments and the time of latest update will be shown by clicking the button which not only helps you on the management of your articles but also enables the readers who pay attention to you to find your previously posted articles.
If you want to keep your E-mail addresses private, the “Contact” tab allows other users to contact you by E-mail according to your personal contact form, which can efficiently control the harassment of spam. You may enable or disable the “Contact” tab by choosing or cancelling the personal contact form option through editing “My account” page, which will not affect the recipient of E-mail from administrator of the website.
