Site sections are the items that appear in the community menu and are used to help sort information on the site into manageable segments. They hold no content as such but are like a folder that groups web pages.
To add a site section to the menu:
- Log in through the Secure area>Site Control.
- Select Manage site sections from the left hand menu.
- Select Add new site section button.
- Type in the name of the new site section (up to 30 characters only). Make the name descriptive and self-explanatory, keeping in mind visitors to the site may be unfamiliar with community jargon.
- Select Add details to save your title. You will be prompted to create a web page to attach to the site section - type in the name of the new web page (up to 30 characters) and select Add page.
- You will receive a confirmation message informing you that the site section and new web page have been added.
- Each new site section will appear at the bottom of the menu, use the Change menu order button to relocate to its required position in the menu. Update order will save the renumbered order. (Always check the menu order after every addition, change, or deletion to the site sections or web pages)
To delete a site section from the menu:
When the site section needs to be deleted, all web pages attached to that site section must be deleted first.
Tips
- The manage site section option lists only the true sitesections in your community. Remember that the system tools that normally appear in the menu don't appear in this list (as they are tools not sitesections as such), they will appear on the Change menu order listing. e.g. calendar, contacts, forum, etc
- When naming your site sections and web pages do not use punctuation or symbols in the titles - this can lead to problems with your site, the most likely being the disappearance of the menu!
