With the redesign of a laboratory website managed by Aix Marseille University, INSERM, and IRD, we have upgraded the Drupal connector to Drupal 9. It has just been published on drupal.org.
The former Drupal 7 module
As a reminder, the multidisciplinary open archive HAL (Hyper Articles en Ligne) allows users to submit and disseminate scientific research articles, published or not, as well as theses originating from French or foreign educational and research institutions, as well as from public or private laboratories. This online platform was developed in 2001 by the Direct Scientific Communication Center (CCSD) of the CNRS. This platform features the largest research database from French-speaking institutions and researchers around the world.
Abandoned, we took over the management of the Drupal module/connector in 2020 and redesigned its architecture to contribute it to the community in September 2019.

To add a new HAL block:
- Each HAL block represents an "instance", so you need to add a new instance for each new HAL block - Structure > Blocks > Instances > Add instance

- Configure your block by going to - Structure – Blocks.
- Choose whether to display the filters (or not).
