How can I edit text on an ArcGIS Hub site page?

For python there is the Hub API: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-hub/announcements/introducing-arcgis-hub-python-api-for-sites/

Yes , but I am wondering how you can edit the text on a hub page with Python.

yes, we have an example guide that demonstrates the process of editing layout of a page to edit text.

Thank you, but I am wondering how you can EDIT some of the TEXT in a card on a hub page with Python.

you need to edit the text within the html of the particular card. Fetch the card (as demonstrated in the example notebook), edit the card to replace text as seen on the site with the text you would like instead, and then call the update_layout method with the changes.

Something like this?

for p in site_pages:

if p.slug=="county-profile":

thepage = p

thelayout=thepage.layout

thelayout.sections[0].ROWS[0].cards[0].component.settings.markdown ="the new text to display"

thepage.update_layout(thelayout)

I get an error 404

Exception: Resource does not exist or is inaccessible:

When you `print(thelayout.sections[0].ROWS[0].cards[0].component.settings.markdown)` what does it display? Overwrite the same value in the markdown variable and only replace the text string with the text string of your choice.

Also, you can only update the layout if you own the page/site OR are part of the initiative core team OR an org administrator.

Print returns

<h1 id='our-community'>Douglas County Profile</h1><p>The information included below provides context for the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Environmental, social, and economic characteristics of a county make it unique. </p><p><br></p>

I then can set it = to its original value or anything and get the error.

thelayout.sections[0].ROWS[0].cards[0].component.settings.markdown ="the new text to display"

I am able to edit it through the web interface hub.arcgis.com with the same user

Maybe you could give an example of code you have used that works?

Re: Editing Hub page text using python

ManushiMajumdar — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 20:59:27 GMT

Let me give you an example for your case:

```

layout = mySite.layout

#Assign same value with change to layout

layout.sections[0].ROWS[0].cards[0].component.settings.markdown = "<h1 id='our-community'>New Text</h1><p>The information included below provides context for the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Environmental, social, and economic characteristics of a county make it unique. </p><p><br></p>"

mySite.update_layout(layout)

```

Refer to the notebook and the Github repo I shared earlier for examples on how to edit sites and pages.

Does this work for you? it does not work for me

page1 = myhub.pages.get('###############################')

layout = page1.layout

layout.sections[0].ROWS[0].cards[0].component.settings.markdown = "<h1 id='our-community'>New Text</h1><p>The information included below provides context for the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Environmental, social, and economic characteristics of a county make it unique. </p><p><br></p>"

page1.update_layout(layout)

Do you have the permissions to edit this page? Can you manually edit and publish changes to this site?

Re: Editing Hub page text using python

Steve_Graham — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 21:24:26 GMT

Yes as I stated above - I can edit using a browser at hub.arcgis.com

Re: Editing Hub page text using python

Steve_Graham — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 21:30:36 GMT

do you have success using any code to edit text?

Re: Editing Hub page text using python

ManushiMajumdar — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 21:33:02 GMT

In that case can you email me a screenshot of the exact code + error trace in the notebook?

Also I'd like to know:

1. Are you running this in your local environment or ArcGIS notebooks?

2. Are you using the `arcgis` package or `arcgishub` package?

3. Do you have the most updated versions of both those packages?

ManushiMajumdar — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 21:48:42 GMT

yes, this has worked several times in the past.

I sent you a message as soon as you sent this - a few weeks ago, and I was wondering if you received my message?
