When you
finish editing a page, click on the Update Contents button
to save the changes to the database. The page on the web
site will be updated immediately.
This website
has had a content management system installed that will
allow you to edit or rewrite the text of several pages.
You
can also >
- add pictures
to any of these pages,
- links that will open a user’s Email program to
send an Email,
- links to other websites and links that upload PDF and
other documents.
Go

using User Name
& Password emailed to you. Contact us if not in receipt
of same.
When you
log in you will get a page that lists the different editable
sections of the website. Clicking on the word Edit that
follows each of the listed sections will take you to a
page where you can manage the content for that section.
Make sure
that as the edit-page loads, you don’t click on
the update button at the bottom or the save button in
the button rows until the contents are fully loaded. Doing
this prematurely and out of sequence could result in loss
of data.
The Edit
Page Contents page consists of a Section Name box and
the editor. At this stage, do not modify the Section Name
- it has been included to provide for any other sections
of the page that you may want to make editable in the
future.
The editor runs in your web browser ( Internet Explorer,
Netscape etc. and enables you to update the website from
any computer that is connected to the internet. You will
need to have your web browser “JavaScript enabled”.
Most browsers
will have it enabled by default, but if it’s not,
then consult your web browser documentation to enable
JavaScript.
The editor
is similar to a word processor, with 3 rows of buttons
along the top that allow you to format the text, as you
would with a word processor and also includes web-specific
functions that allow you to insert form-fields, radio
buttons and links.
The function of every button will appear if you place
your mouse over the top of it and hold it there for a
short period of time. Drop boxes have their titles written
next to them. Below is a brief overview of the buttons
and drop-list boxes that most likely require some explanation.
Source
When pressed, this displays the content of the page as
it is actually formatted to be read by a web browser.
This is very useful if you are familiar with the layout
code (called HTML). If you are experimenting with the
different web-options you can look at the resulting source
code you are producing. Save This will
save the changes to the web page and return you to the
initial admin page. New Page Will delete
the entire page so that you have a blank one to work with.
Pasting
text from a word processor Word processors, such
as Microsoft Word insert a lot of “special characters”
in the text, usually hidden unless you specify that they
be shown. These allow them to format their documents,
but when content is copied from a word processor and pasted
into the editor the characters may not be recognised,
which could result in the data not being saved. If you
use Paste from Word when pasting from this word processor,
the special characters will be appropriately formatted
for the web. In the rare event that the text is still
not saved, then copy the contents to Notepad or Wordpad
so that you have a basic text file. Then
copy and paste the contents into the editor.
Insert/Edit
Image This button allows you to upload images
to the website. A content management system differs from
a normal word-processor in this instance: - a website
needs the image files available to it on it’s own
server and so they need to be uploaded before you can
arrange them on the web page.
After you
click on the image button you can select browse server
to see which images are already stored on the web server.
You can then from this window, upload images from your
own computer by selecting browse, at the bottom of the
window.
You will
presented with a window that enables you to choose a file
from your file system and upload it to the server. Once
its uploaded you can then select it from the directory
structure that you will see in the window. (The preview
box is filled with Latin text that is purely for viewing
how any text will wrap around the image )
One thing to be aware of when uploading images, is the
image size. An image will only need to be from ( roughly
) 80 to a few hundred pixels wide or high for a website
page.
If
the graphic is very large, as it could be from
a digital camera, it will take ages to upload and then
the web-page containing it will also take a long time
to display on a web browser.
A computer,
having no aesthetic ability whatever, cannot decide what
dimensions the picture should be to look and function
best, so you may need to reduce picture sizes
before you upload them.
Insert/Edit
Link This button enables you to make a hypertext
link. It can be used to upload other media types such
as PDF files, in the same manner as the Insert/Edit Image
button uploads images, and then create the clickable link
that allows the file to download.
To
create the link that can download the file do these things
1) Type
the text that you want to make clickable that names the
file you are about to upload.
2) Highlight the text using the mouse.
3) Then click on the Insert/Edit Link button. Link type
will be “URL” and then the same procedure
is followed as with Insert/Edit Image.
To make
a link that will Email to an address, follow the same
procedure but select “E-Mail” as the Link
Type and then type in the Email address you want the link
to select. You can also fill in the other fields with
default message subject and message body if you like.
To make a link that sends the browser to another web page,
select “URL” as the Link Type and then type
in the web address that you want to link to.
The “style” drop-list box This box contains
the font style of the site. To preserve the look and feel
of the website when updating and adding content, highlight
the content and select the standardFont option from the
drop down box. You can still manipulate the text as required
and make it bold, underlined etc.
When you
finish editing a page, click on the Update Contents button
to save the changes to the database. The page on the web
site will be updated immediately.
