Group Webpages
You can make amendments to your group's webpages, to make it more personal, update the details so that any prospective member that visits your page can gain a real insight on what you have to offer.
To do this, you can click 'Website Settings' on the Member Dashboard.
In the "Thumbnail" section you can upload a logo or image for your group. You can also add your group's social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Discord, or TikTok).
Additional Webpages (Advanced)
You can also create 'mini-sites' under Pages, which gives you the ability to create and style HTML pages.
Creating Pages
Navigate to your relevant Activity/Group, and select ‘Pages’ from the sidebar
From here, you will be able to view all pages that have been created, including their details, such as the URL, the dates the page is live for and their order. You can also see any deleted pages.
These can be ‘Modified’ to redirect the URL of this deleted page to another, live page for your Activity/Student Group, just enter the URL of the active page and click ‘Submit’.
You can remove any of your pages, as well as view their versions and modify the dates for which they will be active.
To create a new page, click ‘Create Page’ and enter the following information:
Title
URL – this will be the name of the page when entering the web address, ie. https://yusu.org/activities/view/group-name/page-name
Start Date and End Date – set dates for when you wish the page to be live, or
If you wish, select for the page to be Permanent
Then click ‘Submit’.
Once you've created the page, click "Modify" to change any of this. You can also change the order in which they'll appear on your group's page on the YUSU website.
Editing Pages
Once you have created a new page, the next step is to add its content.
You can add multiple versions of the page to be archived and made active when you require. For example, you may have a main ‘Introduction’ page for your Activity, for which you may have a default version and dates that your Committee Members wish to rotate through the year.
To add content to your page,
‘Enter’ the relevant page and you will see 3 sections, with the following actions:
Active Version –the current version of the page that is live;
click the ‘View Content’ button to view the contents of the page;
Pending Version – here will show the new version that you have submitted for approval:
click the ‘View Content’ button to view the contents of the page;
Version History – here will show all approved versions of your page (excluding the active page):
Click the ‘View Content’ button to view the contents of the page;
Click the red ‘Make Active’ button to make that version go live – this will replace the current ‘Active Version’ and push it back to ‘Version History’.
Click ‘Create Version’;
If you would like to create a new version, using an existing one as a template, select the ‘Create from Version’ button alongside the relevant existing version;
Here you can update the Title and URL again if needed;
Add the content you wish for that version of your page – you will have various formatting options, including:
Fonts;
Text Size;
Images (further information below) etc…
If you wish to add HTML code to style your page, click ‘Tools’ at the top of the content box, and select ‘Source Code’ to input the code;
Once you have added your content, you will be able to view a preview by selecting the ‘Preview Page’ button.
Add a brief Description for the version of the page (e.g. "Introduction Page – Freshers’ Edition"). This will show on your dashboard, to help you remember which version is which, but will not be shown on the public website.
Your new version will show in the ‘Version History’ section of the page, from where you can set that version of the page to ‘Active’.
