Adding and rearranging Page Links to Signposting Pages or Menus
Overview
In your website admin panel you have the ability to add new pages. Once saved, they are made public, but they're not automatically listed on any site menus, so unless you know the URL of the page you can't find it. You therefore need to signpost people to the pages that are available for them to view. All you pages could be added as menu items but this would be really messy and difficult to navigate, so the website uses Signposting Pages to group pages together like chapters in a book.
Adding pages to existing Signposting Pages
The Services, Transparency and Council-wide plans sections are pages dedicated to signposting people to your pages or external links. You may have other signposting pages set up and these work in the same way.
- Go to the "Signposting Pages" menu
- Click on the title of the signposting page you want to add your page to.
- The page has subsections. If you want to add a new subsection, see Adding and Rearranging Subsection Titles and Page Links. Again, this allows you to group pages together; for example, you may wish to group your accounts by year as per the example below:
- Click on "Add Row"
- Click on "Select Link"
- Either search for an existing Page within your website (highlighted in red below), or manually enter a link and text (highlighted in blue below); this can be used to link to an external website or add an item directly from you media folder by copying the the URL link in your media folder and pasting it in here. Make sure to add Link Text otherwise your website users won't be able to see the link.
- Click "Update" in the top right of the page.
- If you want to change the order that the page links appear, go to the number to the left of the section you wish to move. As you hover over the number the cross arrows icon
will appear. Drag the arrow to the location that you would like this to appear:
Add links to your Quick Links section on the homepage
This section is for adding links that your visitors will find relevant or useful.
- Click on "Home" in the admin panel
- Scroll down to "Homepage links and summaries"
- You can add new links by clicking "Add Row" and selecting the page. Or you can replace links by clicking the Pencil icon.
Adding Popular Links
Popular links show when a visitor:
- clicks the Search button,
- scrolls down to the footer, or,
- views a news article.
To add a new Popular Link:
- Click on the "General" menu item
- You can add, edit or remove popular links in the first section.
