Events Interface Update
A number of changes have been made to the Events Details page.
External and Internal link icons are used on UTS web sites to show:
These had to be hard coded in the past for individual sections/links.
SM2 will now recognise if a link is to an external site or an anchor on the same page and will automatically insert the appropriate icons in site navigation ( tabs and/or left menu only )
For rare cases where this is not appropriate there is a manual override in Section/Link settings. Show Icon can be ticked off.
As adding links and new sections is usually done in Sections part of SM2 this will be most relevant to Site Administrators and Web Coordinators.
No action on this is required by Site Manager users.
Some technical considerations for Site Administrators and Web Coordinators
To facilitate this change the objects that have been hard coded into Section names, <sm object="site sub-site-link"> and <sm object="site anchor-link">, have been deleted from all sites. The next time the pages are updated/published the icons will be generated by the new feature rather that the objects.
The code will still be there in Sections settings but will be ignored. Web Team will provide a list of Sites and Section names to all Site Admins where the <sm object="site ...."> have been used. These can then be removed at a later date.
News and Events Modules list view has been updated.
icons show by which column the items are currently being sorted and order (ascending/descending)
icon has been added to the list view. It will display next to items which are Published Live but no longer current (not Released yet or have Expired)
Definition Lists
A new option has beed added which allows a list of links with descriptions to be automatically produced from a Section.
Example below:
A field called "Definition" has been added to Section, Link and Page settings for the descriptions.
To create the list a site manager object has to be coded in the HTML of a page.
Contact your site's administrator or Web Team if you would like to use this option.
