By clicking 'Add content' in the administration panel at the top of the screen, you will see a list detailing the several different types of content that you can create. Use the links below to jump to a specific content type.
These are the simplest forms of content - a basic 'webpage'. Choosing 'Basic page' from the 'Add content' option on the top panel will allow authorised users to create a new webpage. The following fields should be completed:
You can also assign a URL to a new Basic Page - see URLs for information on how to do this.
Clicking the 'Save' button at the bottom of the page will add your new webpage to the system. You'll be able to find it via the 'Find content' shortcut on the administration panel, but it won't be linked from anywhere yet. However, you can easily link to it from other pages on the site or create a menu link (see Menus).
Note: Basic pages also have a 'Preview' section under the Title textbox. This allows a page to be included as a visual link on the homepage. There are four spaces for these links on the homepage, all of which are currently occupied - do not, therefore, complete the 'Preview' fields unless you intend to remove one of the other four homepage links.
'ESR projects' appear as a list on the 'Projects' page, accessible via the website's main navigation menu. On the 'Projects' page, each project title is displayed with the host institution link and a short description of the project. Users can also click the title for a fuller description of the project on a separate page.
The following fields are available when creating/editing an ESR Project:
Although an automatic URL will be assigned to the project on saving (in the format 'projects/[project title]'), this may be long and unwieldy. It is therefore best to edit this URL (see URLs) to fit the format 'projects/[ESR code]' - eg. 'projects/esr1'.
A list of institutions that are consortium beneficiaries/partners exists as an option under the main navigation menu's 'About the Network' heading. Clicking on the heading or logo of each institution will open a page with more detail about the organisation's background and role in the MicroWine network.
To create a new institution to appear in this list, you will need to fill out the following fields:
After entering the above information, you can save the new institution. A URL for the page will be generated automatically in the format 'consortium/[institution name/title]'.
News items are intended to keep visitors to the website informed of recent developments. They appear in two different forms - a shortened version with a thumbnail image in the homepage news feed (and in the Archive); a full version on its own page with a full sized image, accessed by clicking on the title of a news item in the homepage or archive feeds.
News items are much like basic pages, and they offer similar fields:
The URLs for items are automatically-assigned, based on the item title and the date created. They are also given the prefix '/news/'. These URLs can be changed (see URLs), but it is not recommended unless the URL is especially long, unwieldy or unrepresentative.
When news items are displayed on the homepage blog feed or the news archive, the news item is displayed alongside the thumbnail image and the date the item was created. It is possible to change the date the item was created. On the Create/Edit screen for the news item in question, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the 'Authoring information' tab on the left-hand side. Simply alter the 'Authored on' date - the date format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, so ensure you stick to this!
Additional images can be added to the rotating banner at the top of each page (if there's only one image available, the banner will not, of course, rotate!). You will need to complete the following fields:
You can also alter the order in which the rotating banner images appear. Each image has an 'order' number associated with it - '1' will appear first, followed by subsequent numbers. To view or change a rotating image's order, find the image by going to the 'Find content' facility (accessible via the Administration Panel at the top of each page). Click the 'edit' click on the right-hand side for the image in question, scroll to the bottom and find the 'Order' tab. If you wish to change it, click the tab, choose a new order number and click 'Save' at the bottom of the screen.
Note: Be aware that changing the order of an image will mean that subsequent images must also be changed to reflect this - this is unfortunately not done automatically!
