Editing with Additional content

Course Editor Role

Some users have a special role called Course Editor that gives them the ability to edit Course and Program Description pages within their group.

In order to make edits to this type of page, you would need to have this supplemental permissions role.

Adding more text

Finding Content

When logged in, you can visit the Group Nodes page and sort by Type to find the Program Description page

Once you select the Type, press the “Apply” button to sort for that type of content.

You should see only one result in the table

If you have permissions as Course Editor, you should be able to see the Edit Node option in the Operations column.

Press Edit to get to the edit screen.

Pre-Content

Use the Pre-Content WYSIWYG for adding text and images to the top of the page. This will be a great place to add things that pertain to all Programs offered (especially if more than one Description Code is displayed).

Here is the text we added as displayed on the page:

Callout Box or CTA

Just past the Pre-Content Text field is a place to add CTAs in the form of a Callout Flexible Content Item. This is a box with links, as well as an optional image and other text, to help highlight information important to the user. Read more about this Flexible Content Item here.

By clicking Add Callout, the Callout Flexible Content item will open

Here you can add a heading, image, text and links to a box that can be either grey or yellow. Most fields are optional, so this can be a simple box with links to a more robust box with highlighted info including photo, links and description text. In our example, we have added everything to show what it looks like.

Description Code

After the CTA section, there is the Description code, and the ability to add another one. Usually if you are editing the page there is no need to add another Description Code, unless the Program has expanded somehow to include something else.

Post-Content

After the Description Code area is a Post-Content text field. This is great for information that is supplemental

Note how this Post-content text comes in after the Description and before the Department-wide blocks (in this case, the Contact Us block)

Social Media Callout

The last extra you can add to the page is a Social Callout Flexible Content Item. Read more about this Flexible Content Item here.

Click on the Add Social Media Callout and you will see fields to fill in to add Department social feeds

Add as many as you’d like with the Add Social Media Callout Link button. Since this is just an example we didn’t use the URL with the handle in it.

Now if we save the page, you can see how that looks at the bottom of the page
