By default, the banner is disabled. To enable, simply go to Admin > Pure Portal > Styling and Layout and toggle the Homepage Banner to "on".

There are 3 configurable elements to the Homepage Banner:

1. The underlying seach query OR External URL

Using a predefined search string

In the default preconfiguration, the results displayed are based on the following search query, created in collaboration with our colleagues at Scopus:

Coronavirus OR "COVID-19" OR "Corona virus" OR "2019-nCoV" OR "SARS-CoV" OR "MERS-CoV" OR "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome" OR "Middle East Respiratory Syndrome"OR coronaviridae OR coronavirinae OR CORONAVİRÜSÜ OR alphacoronavirus OR "alpha-CoVs" OR "α-CoVs" OR betacoronavirus OR "beta-CoVs" OR "β-CoVs" OR deltacoronavirus OR "delta-CoVs" OR "δ-COV" OR gammacoronavirus OR "gamma-CoVs" OR "γ-COV" OR orthocoronavirinae OR pancoronavirus OR "SADS-CoV" OR "HCOV-EMC" OR "2020-nCOV" OR "SeACoV" OR "SARS-CoV" OR "sars病毒" OR "严重急性呼吸综合征" OR "MERS病毒" OR "Middle East respiratory syndrome" OR "Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus" OR "infectious bronchitis virus"

Please take this query as a starting point, and feel free to add, tweak or change entirely as you see fit for your portal. For instance, we recognise that not all our clients will be so directly involved in epidemiology. One option would be to broaden the seach to also include sociological effects, by adding such terms as:

"Social isolation" OR loneliness OR "social distancing" OR quarantine OR hoarding

Alternatively, you could completely retool the banner to focus on another key topic for your institution. For instance, sustainability: 

Sustainable OR sustainability OR environment OR environmental OR "eco-innovation" OR green OR renewable OR "triple bottom line" OR "eco-efficient" Or "eco-efficiency" OR eco-effective OR "eco-effectiveness" OR "cradle to cradle" OR biomimicry OR frugal OR ecological OR ecology OR "circular economy"

Using an external URL

If you would prefer to use the banner to link to content outside of your portal, that's possible too! Simply replace the search string with any URL you want. When the user clicks on the banner, the content will open in a new tab.

2. The description and link texts

These are the texts that appear to the left and right of the banner on the homepage. They are configured via the back-end of Pure, just under the toggle to enable the banner:

The "description text" is shown to the left of the banner. It is intended for a short description or introduction text for the content to which you are linking. 

The "link text" is shown to the right of the banner. It should ideally be shorter than the description text and clearly inform the visitor what they will find when clicking the link.

3. The background image

Just below the search string field, you can upload an image of your choosing to use as the background to your banner. We support either a .jpg or .png format.

The image will be center-aligned in the banner. Due to this, it may take a couple of attempts and a bit of cropping to get the image perfectly in position. The image defined to be fully responsive.

In order to ensure the text in front of the image remains readable and compliant with relevant accessibility guidelines, the colours on the image are faded out gradually towards the edges of the banner.

Try and bear in mind that background image should not be too "busy" that it distracts from the text.
