Adding Content to Carousels

Directions for adding new streamflow tiles:

  1. Navigate to S3 water-visualizations-prod-website/visualizations/flow

  2. Create a new folder with the name YYYY/MM (example 2024_01) and upload the chart png into that folder

  3. Add a new object at the top of FlowTiles.js with the following information:

        {
            id: 'id below plus one',
            folder: 'folder you created in S3 followed by /', // example '2024_02/'
            twitter_url: 'link to tweet',
            image_basename: 'file name in S3',
            image_type: 'png',
            image_alt: 'alt text from twitter'
        },

Directions for adding new River Conditions videos:

  1. Navigate to S3 water-visualizations-prod-website/visualizations/river-conditions

  2. Create a new folder with the name FYyy/Q# (example FY24_Q1) and upload both the river conditions video and the thumbnail into that folder

  3. Add a new object at the top of RiverConditions.js with the following information:

        {
            id: 'id below plus one',
            name: 'Month Day - Month Day, Year', # example 'October 1 - December 31, 2024'
            drupal_url: 'link to drupal page'
            folder: 'folder you created in S3 followed by /', // example 'FY24_02/'
            video_basename: 'video file name in S3',
            image_thumbnail: 'thumbnail file name **.png**',
            video_type: 'mp4',
            image_alt: 'U.S. River Conditions from `name` at USGS streamgages.' # this can and should be improved!
        },

When in doubt, look to the formatting of the other objects!

Adding Content to Water Data Blog

Directions for adding new blog items:

Add a new object at the top of WhatsNew.js with the following information:

Blog item with an image:

        {
            id: 'id below plus one',
            date: 'MM/DD/YYYY:',
            title: 'whatever you want to be shown!', // example: 'A New Take on the Water Cycle'
            url: 'https://waterdata.usgs.gov/blog/**blogitempath**/',
            img_src: 'path to image',
            img_alt: 'descriptive text
        },

Blog item without an image (this is most blog items):

        {
            id: '`id below plus one`',
            date: 'MM/DD/YYYY:',
            title: 'whatever you want to be shown!', // example: 'A New Take on the Water Cycle'
            url: 'https://waterdata.usgs.gov/blog/**blogitempath**/',
        },
