You'll see the word slug used quite often on this page.

Essentially, the slug is a way of identifying a piece of content - a presenter, a market, a committee member.

It's important that slugs are all lower case, and don't contain special characters (such as spaces, dashes, slashes).

Certain elements, such as images, are inserted into pages automatically, but only work if the slug and the name of the image match exactly. For example, if I have a committee member whose slug is 3fred, then the image must be named 3fred.jpg. If the image is named 3Fred.jpg, fred.jpg, or 3fredbrown.jpg, the image will not be inserted.

To do any of the following, you must first log in to the admin end of the website.

Backing-up the site

On a regular basis, and before making any changes, always back-up the site.

Click the Backups tab near the top of the screen.
On the right click Backup Creator.
Click the Create button.

Wait!

While it's creating the backup, the reload button in the browser will change to a cross. You can see that in the video.

Editing a page

There are many pages on the site (for example, Home, Contact, Sponsorship) that cannot be edited directly. Their content is in either MultiBlock or OneBlock and will be discussed further on.

You can click the plus (+) buttons beside Explore and Community to see the pages below those headings.
Click on a page name to edit it. There is an image of the page editing screen.
These are the pages that you can edit directly.
- Explore
  - About
  - History & Studios
  - Coverage Area
  - Privacy Policy
  - Credits
- Community
  - Emergency Services and Information
After you've clicked on a page name, you'll be in the Edit Page screen.
Click into the editing area to edit text.
When you're finished, click the Save Updates button.

Making a mistake editing a page

If you edit a page and you immediately realise that you've made a mistake after you click Save Updates, at the top of the Edit Page screen you will see a yellow bar which contains the word "Undo". Click on that and the changes you made will be undone.

If you realise later that you've made a mistake (for example, after you view the page), in the tabs at the top, click the Backup tab. To the right click the Archives button.

You should see the name of the page you just saved. Click on the name. Check that the content is correct, and then click the Restore button towards the top right.

Images

You can see the rules for all types of images here.

You'll be using images of people on these pages:

Shows & Programs
Presenters
Committee

and a logo (or similar) on the Sponsorship page.

Images must be correctly named. The name of the image should be the same as the slug used when creating the presenter, committee member, or sponsor. For example, if there is a presenter whose name is Mary Brown (and she is the only presenter named Mary), the slug will be "mary", and the image will be called "mary.jpg". If there is another presenter named Mary, the slug will be "marybrown", and the image must be named "marybrown.jpg". Image names for committee members will be prefixed by a number - see the Committee Members topic.

All images must be in .jpg format. If you have an image in another format, it can be converted using a website such as Aspose. This site will also let you crop and re-size the image. The .jpg extension must be in lower case.

On all pages with images of people, the ideal size is 200px x 200px.

For the Presenters page only, there should be an additional image of each presenter which is 500px x 500px. This is the image shown when the user clicks on the name of the presenter to read their details.

To make your life easier, I suggest you have a folder on your local hard drive called "images". Inside that, have folders called, for example, "Presenters" and "Committee". Inside the Presenters folder, have two more folders called "500" and "200".

The 200px x 200px image for the presenters can also be used for the Shows & Programs page.

Uploading Images

To upload images:

Click the File tab
Select the images folder
Select the appropriate folder (i.e., CommitteeStanthorpe, CommitteeTenterfield, Presenters, or Sponsors)
To the right click the Choose Files button
Select the file
Click the Open button in the dialog box
For Presenters only, once you've clicked on the Presenters folder and completed the previous steps, click on the 500 folder and upload the 500px x 500px image to that folder

Sponsor Images

Again, the name of the image must exactly match the slug.

The maximum width should be 200px, and the maximum height 190px.

It must be a .jpg file.

Committee Members - adding, removing, or editing

Getting Started

If you can see MultiBlock to the right, click it. If you cannot, click on the Pages tab at the top, then click MultiBlock to right.

Open the MultiBlock dropdown box, click Committee Stanthorpe or Committee Tenterfield, then click the Choose Section button.

You will then be in the MultiBlock page for the selected committee. From this page you can edit and delete the individual entries, and add new entries. The Add New button is above the existing entries.

In the New Committee Member screen, complete the following:

Name

The committee member's name as it's to appear on the web page.

Slug

The slug must be all lower case with no special characters - letters and numbers only. It must be unique within that section. For example, I can use 1marion as the slug in the Committee Tenterfield and Committee Stanthorpe sections, because they are two separate sections. But if Marion were to have two roles in Committee Tenterfield, the slug would have to be different. As President, the slug might be 1marion; if she's also the secretary and that's to appear third in the list, the second slug would be 3marion. Refer to below regarding sorting.

Title

Their role, e.g., Treasurer. If they have no particular role, choose Committee Member.

Image

Create a 200px x 200px image for each committee member. Name it exactly the same as the slug - for example, 1marion.jpg. The name must be all lower case. Upload it to the appropriate folder. As long as you do that, the image will appear on the web page automatically.

Sorting

Make sure the slug begins with the number of the required position (e.g., if someone is to appear in the fourth position, their slug should begin with "4").

Finished

When you are finished, click the Update button at the bottom.

Once you've clicked Update, click the Back to List button. Drag the new committee member into its correct location and click the Save Order button.
