Pages - Create New Page

2.0 Pages

2.1 Create a New Page

1. Select the Create Content link on your left sidebar.

2. Click on the type of content you want to create.  In this case, click Page.

 

3. Enter the title of the page in the Title box.

4. Adjust the Menu Settings to place the new page in the correct location in your website.  (Follow these instructions to place the new page in your site's sidebar navigation.)

    a. Click the orange Menu Settings link to open that section.

 
   

    b. This is where you will control what will appear (or not appear) in your navigation sidebar for this page.  Enter your menu link's title in the given box (what do you want the sidebar to say to bring people to this page?)

    c.  Next, select what the Parent Item will be from the drop-down menu.  Selecting Site Sections will present the page as a main sidebar item.  Choosing another page that has already been created as a parent item will designate this page as a 'sub-page' of that previously created page.  This sub-page would also be known as a child page (or children of the parent page item).

    d. Weight (optional):  You can weight your page to appear above or below other pages in that section of the menu.  Lighter weight pages (weighted less than 0) will rise above heavier weighted pages (greater than 0).  The lightest weight you can assign to a page is -50 (so it will always appear at the top of the menu) and the heaviest page is (+50) which would appear at the bottom of the menu.

5. Enter your content into the Body textbox.  You can copy content from another document or create new content.

6. The following are optional settings.  It is recommended not to change the default settings, unless you are sure that it is necessary.  Click on each link to open that section.

• Input Format: Leave as the default (EESC) unless you are creating or editing tables (switch to full-HTML).
• Book Outline: Do not change anything here unless you are creating a book (See a later section for information about creating books.)
• Revision Information: If you want to leave a message to other authors or editors of this page, type a message in the Log Message field.
• URL Path Settings:  Leave the default (Automatic alias ON).  An automatic URL will be generated for you based on your webpage's title.
• File Attachments: If you want to attach a file to this page, you can select it here.
• Publishing Options: The default is "Published" which means the page will be immediately available to anyone looking at the website.  Uncheck this option if this page is only a draft and you don't want it to be 'live' on your website yet.

7.  After you have finished, be sure to click Save at the bottom of the page.  This will publish your page, unless you have changed the Publishing Options above.

Pages - What is a book page

2.3 What is a book page?

A 'book page' is a page of content that will automatically display navigational links at the bottom of the page that lead to adjacent pages of the same 'book'.

It provides another level of navigation for reviewing related content.  Book pages also provide a link to a printer-friendly version of the page.  If the 'book page' is the first page of a book, it will by default also have a list of links at the bottom that represents each page in the book.

Links - Creating and Using Anchors

Anchors are a useful way to create an easier navigation of pages with a large amount of website or files linked in them.  Use anchors to make it easy to jump from section to section on a page serving as a repository.

2.  Click the button with an anchor on it.

3.  Enter a small name for the anchor section.  i.e. For the Lorem Ipsum section, the anchor name of lorem-ipsum would be sufficient, or, loremipsum.  Something similar to what you would have in a URL.

4.  Make sure you click the insert button to complete the first step.  If you followed these steps properly, a small icon of an anchor will show up where your cursor was.

 

5.  Highlight the text you want to link to the anchor.  That is, select the text that you want to be able to click to connect with the content you placed the anchor by.

 

6.  Now click the link button.  This button looks like two links of a chain.

7.  In the Link URL field, enter the # sign and the anchor name you previously entered.  For example, if you chose lorem-ipsum as the name of the anchor earlier, you would enter #lorem-ipsum in the Link URL field.

Edit an Image

4.2  Edit an Image on a page

Resize an Image

1.  Locate your desired page and be sure you are on the Edit tab.  Click on the image you wish to edit.

2.  When you do this, notice that the Insert/Edit Image button darkens.  (This is the button with the tree on it.)  Click this button.

3.  The Insert/Edit Image dialog box will appear, with the current image showing in the Image URL field.  Click the Browse button to bring up the File Browser dialog box.

 

4.  The image you are wishing to resize should be highlighted in the list.  Click the Resize button at the top of your screen.

 

 

5.  A small Width x Height area will appear directly beneath the Resize button.  Type in the proportions you wish to resize the image to.  Keep in mind that these measurements are in pixels (pixels is indicated by the abbreviation px).

If you are unsure of the dimensions you are after, try to find another image that is about the size that you want.  Right-click on that image and click 'Properties' to view the image dimensions.

Here are some sample image sizes in pixel dimensions for your reference.  (Note:  This image suffers some quality loss as it is enlarged.)

100 x 96 pixels

 

250 x 192 pixels

 

350 x 267 pixels

 

6.  By default, the Create New Image box is checked.  This allows you to keep the original file, in the event you do not have it saved elsewhere.  If you do have the original file, you may un-check this box.  This will save file space on your website's file system.

7.  After resizing the image, it will automatically be highlighted for use.  Click the re-sized image in the bottom, right corner of the File Browser window.  You will be returned to the Insert/Edit Image screen and the image URL field will contain the URL of the re-sized image.

8.  Click the Update button to finish the image resizing process.

Note:  Do not use the Appearance tab in the Insert/Edit Image dialog box to resize a large image.  This only changes the way the image appears, and does not change the actual file size/dimensions.  Visitors will still have to download the full file, large or small.  On slower internet connections, this can be very cumbersome.  It may even turn visitors away from your site due to download time.

1.  Locate your desired page and be sure you are on the Edit tab.  Click on the image you wish to edit.

2.  Notice that the Insert/Edit Image button darkens. Click this button.

4.  Use the Alignment drop-down menu to select the alignment to apply to that image.  This will justify your image to position it on whichever side of the screen or text you designate.  The box with the tree and Latin words to your right provides a preview of what effect the selected alignment option will have on your page and the text next to it.

5.  When you have defined an alignment you are pleased with, click Update to finish the process.

4.  Using the vertical and horizontal space options, you can move the image away from the text or closer to it.  These dimensions are defined in pixels.  Most people are happy with 2px or 3px of space around their image.  Play around with it to figure out what you like best.

5.  When you have defined image spacing you are pleased with, click Update to finish the process.

4.5  Set up a revolving slide show and/or a photo gallery

CREATE A NEW PHOTO GALLERY

1. Click “Create Content” in your left hand sidebar.
   
2. Select “Gallery.”
3. Name your photo gallery in the “Title” field.
   
4. If you are putting this gallery together for use as a slideshow, then you will need to designate which page you want the slideshow to display on under the “Page to include slideshow” drop-down menu.  This drop-down menu is right underneath the “Description” box.
   
5. Now, you can begin to upload the photos that will be a part of your new photo gallery page and/or slideshow.  You can reorder these pictures after they are uploaded by using the crosshair to the left of the image and dragging it up or down to the desired location within the list of images.
   
6. If you do not want this to show in your sidebar, move on to step #7 below.
7. If you want this to gallery to be a selection in your navigation sidebar, you will need to name the gallery again in the “Menu link title” field  and select where you would like it fall (whether you want it to be a secondary menu item underneath a main menu item, or what-have-you).  See screenshot in step 4 for visual representation.
8. Select “Publishing options” at the bottom of the page and check the “Published” box, if it is not already checked.
   
9. Click “Save”.

EDIT AN EXISTING PHOTO GALLERY

1. Make sure you are logged into your website.
2. Visit this URL: http://extension.oregonstate.edu/[COUNTY NAME HERE]/gallery/
3. Select the appropriate gallery you wish to edit.
   
4. Once you’re in the gallery, click the “edit” tab at the top of the page (just as you would do if you were editing any other page on a Drupal site).
   
5. From this screen, you can delete images that are already in  your slideshow gallery, add captions, add more photos, and reorder the photos. 
   
   1. To reorder the photos, click and hold the crosshairs next to the image and drag it to the location position you would like it to be. 
   2. To add new photos, click the “Add another item” button at the bottom of the list of photos.
      
      1. Then click the “Choose File” button.  You will now be in  your computer and can browse to the location on your computer where you have the image(s) saved that you would like to upload.  Select the image and then click “Open” to insert that photo into the gallery.
         
      2. You must click the “Upload” button next to a photo after you have selected it from your computer before it will actually appear within the slideshow (and of course, you must save the page after you are finished editing).
      3. Note that only one image can be uploaded at a time, but multiple images can be uploaded before saving the actual page.  However, do not go more than an hour in between saves, or the Drupal system will log you out and you will have to start over.
   3. To remove a photo, within the gallery, simple click the “Remove” button that appears next to the undesired image. 
6. After all desired revisions have been made to your gallery, be sure to click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page, per usual page editing protocol.

Note:  Nearly any file type can be attached to a webpage, but you are encouraged to use common types (such as .pdf) for easier distribution.  There is a 1 MB upload limit.  Contact your webmaster if your file will be larger.   Files attached to a web page using this method appear at the bottom of the page....they do not appear in-line with text.  To link to a file within the text, follow instructions in Section 3.2.

1. Be sure you are on the Edit tab of the page that you want the file attached to.

2.  Scroll down and click on the File Attachments link.

 

3.  Click the Browse button and search for the desired file on your computer.  Click Open.

4.  Click the Attach button.

5.  Click Save to save the changes to the page.
