Help
- LOGIN. Usernames and passwords are the same. Login link is (as in Education and PREM sections) in the top right corner of each section. Login from the MAIN PAGE is FOR ADMIN only. If you are using Internet Explorer and do not see login link - please let me know. If you cannot login to any of the sections - please let me know.
- Once you are logged in, you can add new entry either using Add New Entry link on the top of the page or go to Admin interface and Write new posts of Manage existing.
- Additional links “Edit this page” gives you quicker/direct access to the entry/post in admin interface. Inside the interface there is a link View, that shows you what post looks like in viewing mode. There is a link New Entry next to login in each section, which allows you to create new post quickly.
- There is link to Wordpress instructions on how to create new entries
- Admin interface has several drop down menus in Manage section ( Browse Month… / Browse Category…) which allow you to select your categories to find your posts quickly.
- IMAGES. New image upload utility allows you to add Description (used as caption) and Title (used as content for “alt” property) and automatically creates standard thumbnail. You can upload image and then you need to send it to click button Send to Editor to place image inside the post. I am currently working on making image features more efficient. Let me know if you have questions on how to work with images.
- Optional Excerpt field is under Upload section- please use it for text that is being displayed on index pages.
- Information in different sections is heavily cross-linked, so try to fill as much info in each section as you can, where applicable (e.g. related IRGs in Highlights). Some information is used in another sections or in sorting/browsing back end, such as URL on mrsec’s sites and IRG nubmers listed in dropdown menu
- Related Publications - quotations will cause additional \” in Related publications field, so for now we are making name of the publication bold or Italic. Another options is to use “ and “ instead of regular quotes. I hope to fix this problem within next week - this is known bug.
- PRE-FORMATTED highlights for NSF ANNUAL REPORT - there is a link in a sidebar on Centers’ pages in Highlights section. I will be sending more info about this new feature later.
