Creating New Pages

Last updated: (1 weeks ago)

Intro

Note: Contact Andy Smithwick (Webmaster) for questions.

Hi! We are asking for help from all the officers to keep our onboarding site up to date. The onboarding site can be found at https://onboarding.ieeeucsd.org/. To edit the onboarding site, navigate to https://directus.ieeeucsd.org/ and follow the steps below.

Login to Onboarding Site

Non Logged In Sidebar

When you are logged out, you will not see all the pages available. Be sure to log into the onboarding site using the same email you use to log into the membership portal for IEEE (usually your school email) first.

Then, your sidebar should look something like this!

Logged In Sidebar

Login to Directus (Ask current webmasters for username and password)

Navigate to Content → Pages in the left sidebar

Content -> Pages

Should open a view like this

Pages View

First, check if your page has already been created by checking the Title field.

If so, click on the row (but outside the checkbox).

Pointing To Title

For example, to open Robocup Soccer’s page, click at the point of the arrow.

If you need to create a new page

Click the “+” (plus) button in the upper right. Both creating a new page and opening an existing page should show you a page like this:

Fill out all unfilled fields

For the Category title, make sure to click the check mark in the upper right of the pop-up to save your choice.

  • The slug field determines your URL, so keep it to all lowercase letters and - characters! No spaces.
  • The content section is for any content that doesn’t fit the existing sections.

Click the check mark next to the trash icon to save your work!

DON’T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR WORK!!!

Double-check your work on onboarding.ieeeucsd.org

Check that your new page shows up on the sidebar.
