Instance specific features

IBM Watson chat

The Päätöksenteko ja hallinto site features the IBM Watson Chatbot on few pages. You can configure the chatbot on the block layout page (admin/structure/block). More documentation about the chatbot is available in Confluence, and the code for the Drupal block can be found here.

Menu depth override

The maximum menu depth has been set to 6 (the default is 4). This change primarily affects the sidebar menu. The depth modification has been made in the hdbt_subtheme.theme file. The menus support a deeper structure by default, so no additional changes, such as style adjustments, have been necessary.

Templates under the hdbt_subtheme

The Päätöksenteko ja hallinto instance includes a few templates for the Service List Search paragraph used on the site. These files are:

• form--views-exposed-form-service-list-block-search
• input--textfield--service-list-search Since the paragraph is globally available, it might be a good idea in the future to move these files to the hdbt theme.

News feature

For some reason, the News feature is enabled in this instance, and there are also published news_item contents in the database. At the time of writing, it is unclear why this is the case. Other topic-related news is created in the Etusivu instance in the same manner as other news, and the enabled News feature does not affect this process.
