Dev Portal to look Like This?

Report Inappropriate Content · 06-28-2016 02:00 PM

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows how we can configure out Apigee-powered Developer Portal to look more like this: http://bestbuyapis.github.io/api-documentation/#search-techniques

The main elements that we like, and notice to be a trend, are having a left navigation bar with all menu options, and a scrolling page on the right with all of the information.

Here is another example:

https://stripe.com/docs/charges

Essentially what we're looking for is guidance on how to have navigation bars on the left hand side of the screen.

Thanks!

Hi Alex, this would all be done with Drupal theming and possibly some custom modules. The nice thing about Drupal is that you can create a highly customized experience for your developers by adjusting the theme. The downside is that the customization can be a bit tricky to get the hang of and you need to invest some time learning the ins and outs of Drupal. To get started, take a look at the Drupal Theming Documentation. There are also quite a few Drupal theming tutorials and how-to videos available on YouTube that may be helpful.

Thanks Clatimer. I guess our main concern with adjusting the Drupal Theming is that we might break what is supported out-of-the-box by Apigee. We also don't want to create a compatibility issue later in the future.

Towards ailing those concerns, to you know of any "Apigee Approved" themes, or anything of the like?

Thanks,

Alex

@AlexMC , It's definitely possible to build a doc page that looks like above one, Are you looking for integration with smartdocs too ? I have seen a customer asking something similar to above page almost a year and half back. Check Payeezy SmartDocs which is something closer to what you are trying to achieve except the left side bar.

Regarding the theme customizations & new features in developer portal, I would suggest to get a Drupal Expertise short time to get the features you need. It should be quick to implement same in Developer Portal by leveraging Drupal CMS.
