Creating faculty/staff listings involves a few steps. First, you must create a Personnel Information for each person. If you are including an employee who is already listed in another department, you will still create the page, but you will pull in content from the other listing. Once that is created you will be able to add people to the listing pages.
The Properties button in the Page Actions Toolbar near the top of the page contains information about the page. You must have the page checked out to you to see all the options.
The Page Parameters section, which can be selected from the left menu or in the Page Parameters Gadget, contains the following options.
The Forms asset within the CMS includes the ability for advanced functionality. This functionality may change on a frequent basis, so be sure to check back often for the latest information. If you have a specific form need that is not addressed with the current advanced features available, please contact webmaster@mtu.edu.
Some of the advanced functionality includes legends, additional classes, fieldsets, sizes, and prebuilt datasets. You can also set up a form to email different people depending on a certain radio button selection.
There are several assets created and maintained by University Marketing and Communications, described below, that can be used on your website. As the data included in these assets changes, we will update them and the updated information will automatically update on any pages where the asset is used. Check back as this list gets updated as new assets are added. Suggestions for new assets can be sent to webmaster@mtu.edu. These assets will all begin with [Global].
Assets are pieces of content that are saved in a central location that can be used on multiple pages or on multiple sites. They should be used when you have identical bits of content on more than one page. If the asset content is changed, that change is applied to all pages using it. You do not have to try and find all the pages with certain content or risk missing a page and having conflicting/different information across your website.
You can upload files to the CMS that can be linked to on a webpage. Types of files you can upload include audio, video, PDFs, Microsoft Office files, and more. These files have a size limit of 1GB each. After uploading, you must publish the file.
This process should not be used for images. Instead, use the Image Editor sidebar gadget.
All images are created in the CMS using the Image Editor gadget. You can crop specific sizes using the gadget, insert the cropped images in pages, and replace existing images. The image editor will automatically optimize and publish the images. Make sure the image that you’re uploading is less than 25 MB so that it is able to be used in the editor. All images used in the Image Editor must be RGB format, not CMYK.
This snippet inserts linked social media icons onto the page. It is frequently used in the heading of the RSS Feed or Top Title with More Links snippets or in the Footer Social Icons region of the root props file.
This snippet has been replaced with the Accordion Snippet.
This snippet creates a space for adding content in the right sidebar with no additional special formatting. In the example below, the CpE Program section is a Sidebar Right: Box snippet and the ABET logo and bottom text are in a Sidebar Right: No Box snippet.
