A Web Content list is a type of type of link list which groups any number of links under a single heading. It is particularly well suited for listing related sites or subject links.
As a logged-in admin user, click the Home Page Admin link from the Home Page, and choose the Web Content Admin option. (Note: if the name of Web Content links has been changed in the function admin settings, the Admin menu will display the modified name.)
Output this function to users' browsers can be turned on and off.
The "Name" of the function (default being Web Content) can be changed. The name entered here will be used on the Admin menu to refer to the Web Content links function.
A column of icons down the right-hand side of the page allow you to add, delete, edit or re-order links. (Bear in mind that the effect of your changes may vary according to your stylesheet settings.)
Adding
a link: Click the
icon to create a link. A
pop-up window will ask you to enter the target URL and name (link text)
for your link. Click
OK to confirm the new link
or Cancel to return to the
Web content Admin menu
without saving.
Deleting
a link: Click the link name in your list which you want to delete,
and then click the
icon. You
will be asked to confirm the deletion by clicking OK.
Editing
a link: Click the link in your list which you want to edit, and
then click the
icon. A
pop-up window will display the current target and name (link text). You
will be asked to confirm by clicking OK
when you have finished editing.
Re-ordering
links: Click on a clock in your list which you want to reorder,
and click the
or
icon to move it up or
down your list.
Web Content links can be previewed before committing any changes you have made.
To confirm any changes you have made, click Update. (Clicking the Home Page or Home Page Admin links will also confirm your changes.) To cancel any changes you have made since the last update, click the Cancel Changes link.
These technical details are intended for web designers when setting up a stylesheet.
The sample HTML output below shows how Web Content links are output. If customised output is required for your home page implementation, please contact the developers.
In the output Home Page, the Web Content links function is contained between the comments <!--Webcontent Part--> and <!-- Webcontent Part end-->, containing a main DIV block with class and id="webcontent", and a nested DIV with id="extras" containing all the links.
Note that the DIV id "extras" has been found to be duplicated in Web Content and myCurrency output. The following changes will be made to the next program release which will require corresponding changes to be made in relevant stylesheets:
myCurrency: <div id="extras"> with <div class="fx_table" id="fx_table">
Web Content: <div id="extras"> with <div class="web_content_links" id="web_content_links">
<!-- Webcontent Part-->
<div id="web_content">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="h2"><div class="h2" id="web_head">Web Content</div></td>
<td class="italic"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<div id="extras">
<a href="http://www.mysite.com">My Site</a><br>
<a href="http://www.hissite.com">His Site</a><br>
<a href="http://www.hersite.com">Her Site</a><br>
<a href=""></a><br>
