Create an event post



Creating an event post is very similar to creating a news post, with two differences:

Posts - Events

Event details


Link to an existing page/post



First, go to the page you want to link to and copy the URL.

Copy URL

Then edit the page/post you want the link to appear on:

hilight link

link icon

create link


Linking to a section of a page on the site



First, you need to create an anchor on the page you’re linking to.

insert anchor

anchor name

Anchor names can only contain letters, numbers, dashes and underscores. No spaces or other characters can be used.

Then go to the page you want your link to appear on and create a link as usual, but append a forward slash, a number sign and the anchor name after the URL.

For example, if your URL is http://fbcyicn.ca/about and your anchor name is ‘phone’, your link URL would look like http://fbcycin.ca/about/#phone


Link to a PDF or other file



link pdf

files upload

Once you’ve uploaded or selected a file from the media library:

media file


Add an image to a page/post



insert picture

Upload an image from your computer, or select one from the Media Library.

insert image popup


Add a new page



add new page

Edit the title and body of the page as desired.

parent dir

If you do not want the page to show up in any menus, leave the “Parent” set to “Main Page”. Pages can only have one parent.


Galleries vs. Albums



On the site, we have three levels in our Photo Gallery

Collections of photos are called “galleries”. For example, the photos from a single SCM event would be in a gallery.

A collection of galleries is called an “album”. For example, all of the SCM galleries would be in an SCM album.

We also have a “master album” that holds all of our regular albums.


Upload photos to a gallery



Please make sure that your image file names do not contain apostrophes as that seems to cause the thumbnail generation to fail.

add gallery

upload zip of images

Wait for the upload to complete and the thumbnails to be generated before navigating away from the page.


Select a cover image for a gallery



manage gallery

Then select a gallery.

choose gallery cover

Save your changes and the gallery will have the new cover image that you’ve selected.


Add a gallery to an album



album

manage albums

drag galleries

You can also drag albums into albums.

In order for an album of galleries to appear on the site’s photo gallery page, they must be included in the “photogallery” album.
