Web editing guide for branch editors - MS Society

website guide
guide for adding and
editing web content
Introduction
The MS Society website uses a content management system (CMS) called
Drupal. As a contributor to the site, you’ll receive training in how to add
and edit content on the CMS.
Depending on your role, this might mean adding and editing, for example,
events, blog entries or news stories.
This guide accompanies your training and should help answer your
questions. It’s unlikely that every section will be useful to you – just pick the
bits you need in your role.

Reporting errors or faults
One of the most important aspects of error reporting is replicating the
error.
In order to do this we will need as much information as possible. Please
try to provide the following when reporting a technical error or fault to the
webteam.
1. The web address or node ID (the node ID for your content can be
found in “my dashboard”)
2. The name and version number of your internet browser
3. Device type, that is desktop PC, laptop or tablet
4. User journey, that is a step by step description of how you arrived at
the error or fault
Please send any faults or errors through to: [email protected]
3
The basics
Logging in
All editors must use the following link to log in. This link must be used
each time you need to make changes to your branch microsite. We
suggest adding it to your browser favourites.
www.mssociety.org.uk/user/login?msdrupal6editors
If you see a “403 not authorised” error message it means you’re already
logged in.
Near the top of your screen you’ll see a link called “my hompage”.
Click this link to navigate to your dashboard.
If you have forgotten your log in details please do not use the “request
password” option.
Please contact us at [email protected] and we will reset the
password for you.

The editing dashboard
Once you’re logged in as an editor, you’ll see the ‘my homepage’ screen.
To create brand new content or see the status of content you’re working
on, click on ‘my dashboard’ in the left-hand menu.
Once you’ve clicked on my dashboard, you’ll see two buttons:
 create content
 my content
‘Create content’ shows you the options for creating different types of
content.
‘My content’ allows you to see a list of the content that you’re working on.
You can search your content according to:
 type (eg event – NB there is no option for blog entry)
 revision status (eg pending publication, published) – so you can
check whether your content has been published or not
 title
You can return to ‘my dashboard’ at any point, either by following the ‘my
homepage’ link from any page on the live site (top right corner), or by
typing in www.mssociety.org.uk/dashboard.

The WYSIWYG editor
On all types of content, you’ll see a WYSIWYG editor, which is short for
‘what you see is what you get’ (and pronounced ‘whizziwig’!).
This is the user-friendly interface that you’ll mostly be working with:
From this interface, you’ll be able to format text, doing things like making
text bold, changing the heading size, adding bullet points and adding links.
Geeky tech bit: HTML
If you want to see a HTML version of your page, press the ‘source’ button
in the tool bar. HTML is the main markup language for displaying
information in a web browser – browsers use HTML tags to interpret
content and display it correctly.
6
eg for words to display as a heading on our website, the HTML might look
like this:
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
(If you are interested, read more on wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML)
Inputting text to the WYSIWYG
Do
 type directly into the WYSIWYG box
 if pasting content from Word, paste it into Notepad first (Notepad is
usually found on your computer under Start/programs/accessories).
This makes sure that your text is plain and format-free when it goes into
the editor.
Don’t
 paste content directly from Word or a website directly into the
WYSIWYG box, unless you’re pasting directly into the HTML code
‘source’ version of the editor.
If you do this, the tags and formatting from Word will be carried over. It
may look OK in the WYSIWIG, but it can disrupt HTML tags, and stop
content displaying properly when published on the website.
Headings
All titles and subheadings should be formatted as a heading – not as bold
text.
To create a heading, highlight the appropriate text. Click the format button
in the tool bar and chose the size of the heading from the drop down
menu:
7
Primary headings within the text should be ‘Heading 2’. Secondary
headings should be one size smaller – ‘Heading 3’:
(where ‘environmental factors’ is Heading 2, and ‘viruses’ is Heading 3).
You shouldn’t use bullets and headings at the same time – headings are
not designed to be bulleted.
8
Bold
Bold should be used sparingly as per our accessibility guidelines. An
example might be the first sentence of a news story, to add emphasis to
the most important sentence.
Adding images
Use the image button to add an image:
If you’re adding an image that’s already uploaded to the system:
 click on ‘browse server’
 locate the image in the image folder, then in the relevant subsection.
The digital team can advise on stock images and location of images.
 Select the image you want. Either double click on the image, or click
‘insert file’.
 Fill in the alt text (text that’s appropriate to someone using a screen
reader, e.g. ‘woman using a wheelchair’), and choose whether you
want left or right alignment on the page. Add in HSpace (horizontal
space) and VSpace (vertical space) by adding ‘10’ (for 10 pixels).
This ensures the image isn’t squashed up against the text.
 If you need to edit the image once you’ve clicked ok, just double
click on it.
If you’re uploading a new image:
The image needs to be appropriate, the right size and resolution in terms
of where you’re using it, and labelled with the correct name and size. See
the photographic policy for guidance, and ask the digital team if you’re not
sure.
9
If you need to resize an image, you can use an online resizer like
http://pixlr.com/.
 Click on the image button, then ‘browse server’ and select the folder
you want your image to be in.
 Then click on ‘upload’ and choose the image from your folders.
Upload the image then go through the normal process of inserting it.
Making links
Highlight the text you want made into a link. Your hyperlink should be
descriptive, and around five words maximum eg Find out more about MS
Don’t turn the words ‘click here’ or ‘here’ into a link.
Click on the link button:
A box will appear with a drop down menu of four link types:
URL – for all external websites (just paste the page’s URL into the box).
Drupal link – for all internal links. Start typing the title of the page you want
to link to e.g. New York Marathon 2011. When the correct page comes
up, click on it.
Be careful – some pages are called similar things. You can always test the
URL in preview.
Making links this way ensures the link will still work even if the page URL
changes (which happens sometimes if a page is retitled) – this is because
a page’s node number always stays the same.
10
Email link – add in the email address you want the link to lead to. You can
populate the subject and the header of the email.
Anchor link - an anchor link allows users to click on a link and be taken to
a specific place on a page (like the contents section of this document).
Creating anchor links
To make an anchor link, you need to create an anchor: click on the ‘flag’
icon in the specific place you want to direct people to:
Give the flag an intuitive name with no gaps in characters – e.g. drugtreatments
To link to this anchor:
 highlight the text you want to make into a link
 click on the link image then select ‘link to anchor in the text’
 you should see the list of anchors you’ve created – select the correct
one
On long pages, remember to create an anchor at the top of the page and
then add ‘back to top’ links in appropriate places on the page, like at the
end of paragraphs e.g. http://www.mssociety.org.uk/what-isms/information-about-ms/diagnosis/first-questions
Back to contents page
11
Adding content
You can select a content type from ‘my dashboard’.
There are 3 types of content that you’ll be working with.
What type of content should I use?
Content – This template is for static content – that is, information which
isn’t time-sensitive, and stays relevant for a while (committee contact
details or regular events are both good examples). These pages can go
into the branch menu.
Example: http://www.mssociety.org.uk/near-me/branches/ms-societybranch-page/what-we-do
Blog Entry – News stories, newsletters, short informative posts about
upcoming and follow-ups to events.
Example: http://www.mssociety.org.uk/near-me/branches/ms-societybranch-page/ms-society-branch-newsletter-jan-2014
Events – One off, non-recurring events only. These events will appear
automatically on your branch page entitled “Branch events” and will also
appear on our near me map. The map only shows branch events taking
place within the next 30 days.
Example event page: http://www.mssociety.org.uk/msevents/2014/01/ms-society-branch-page-event
Branch events page: http://www.mssociety.org.uk/nearme/branches/675916/event
Near me map: http://www.mssociety.org.uk/near-me
Back to contents page

Creating a blog entry
1. Click on ‘create content’ in “my dashboard”, and select ‘blog entry’.
2. Put in the name of your branch ‘parent blog’ e.g., Andover and
District. You’ll see the system automatically locates your branch and
puts in a node ID – this ensures your blog post is automatically
posted to the correct blog.
Always make sure there is a node ID number in the box or your post
will not appear in the blog.
3. Put in a title for your blog –eight words maximum, and with the most
important words at the start (if possible).
4. Add the content to the main body of the blog.
5. Click save if you’re still working on the content, or change the
content moderation to ‘with editor’ to submit for moderation (see ‘3.
Submitting content’, below, for more details).
Back to contents page
Creating a content page
1.
Enter the page title. It should be short, and make the content of the
page obvious.
2. Enter the main text into the body.
3. Enter the menu link title. This will correspond with your branch menu
on the left hand side of your branch page.
4. Click ‘save’ if you’re still working on the content or change the
content moderation to ‘with editor’ to submit for moderation (see ‘3.
Submitting content’, below, for more details).

Events
Events are only suitable for one-off branch events, for example cake break
or a family day out. Regular recurring support groups and social events
are handled by LSDOs and the Digital Team. If you need to submit a
recurring event please contact your Local Support Development Officer or
the Digital Team: [email protected].
Branch events are listed in 3 places once they have been published.
1. Your branch events page found in your branch menu.
2. The events page in the near me section.
3. On the near me map where the branch events category has been
selected. (The map only displays branch events taking place over
the next 30 days from the current date. This is to avoid congestion)
Creating an Event
Please note, you cannot upload PDF flyers or posters to an event listing.
1. Click on ‘create content’ on the dashboard, and select ‘event’.
2. Enter a title for your event.
3. The body section is where your main text should go.
4. Add a start and end date – when you click into the field, a calendar tool
appears. You can also add a start and end time if you know them, or leave
the fields blank for a full day event.
5. Enter a price, if there is one. If the event is free, you can leave the field
blank or enter ‘free’.
6. The location section is essential. If the information isn’t entered
correctly, the event won’t show up on the ‘near me’ map* properly.
8. Click ‘save’ if you’re still working on the content or change the content
moderation to ‘with editor’ to submit the content for moderation (see ‘3.
Submitting content’ below for more details).
14
Newsletters
Please create a ‘blog entry’ to attach and publicise your newsletters.
All newsletter pdfs should be renamed to YYYY-MM-Branchnewsletter.pdf format.
For example: 2012-04-sunderland-newsletter.pdf
Newsletter entries should have a bulleted list of highlights to entice the
reader.

24
Submitting content
On all types of content, you’ll see a ‘content moderation’ box:
When you’re adding new content your additions will automatically be set to
‘with author’, and they won’t be seen by the public.
When you’re ready to submit content to be published, simply select ‘with
editor’ and save the content, and the digital team will get a notification to
moderate your content.
Why is my content not appearing to the public?
There are two possible reasons why your content may not be visible.
1, The content is still “with author” (you)
2. The content is “with editor” (moderators) pending publication.
How do I change the status of my content from “with author” to “with
editor”?
Go to “my dashboard” in “my homepage”
Click on “my content”
A list of all your current content will appear.
Find the content you need to change and click on the title.
Your chosen content will now appear.
Click on the “workflow” tab.
Change the moderator status from “with author” to “with editor”
Add a comment in the comment box if necessary.
Click on “submit”
Back to contents page
25
How long will it take for my content to be published?
Our moderators stick to the following timeline
Blog entries and Events 1-2 days
Content pages 2-3 days
I’ve saved my content “with editor” but it still hasn’t been published,
have I done something wrong?
Please email [email protected] to let us know.
Please include the node ID and title. You can obtain the node ID from “my
content” in “my dashboard”.
The numbers in the column entitled “NID” are the node ID’s.
Back to contents page
26
Revisions and workflow
Every time you make a change to the page and save it, the system will
save a version of the content.
The revisions tab, which you’ll see when you’re editing the page, allows
you to see the most recent, and previous versions of the page.
If you open up a page and there’s a more recent version, the system will
tell you – just click on ‘revisions’ and the most recent version:
You can then edit the most recent version.
The workflow tab, which you can also see when you edit a page, allows
you to see the history of a page and track its changes as it moves from
author to editor.
You can also change the state of the content to ‘with editor’ or ‘with
author’ here, and add notes, like on the content moderation tab:
27

28
Can we unpublish or delete old content?
It’s really important that we remove inaccurate information on content
pages, or content that is no longer applicable. For example, if there’s a
change on a branch committee contacts page.
However, blog posts and events are content types that people expect to
age. We don’t tend to delete or unpublish these pages for a number of
reasons:
Blogs and news
 Users understand that old content like news stories and blog posts
may not be up to date – just think how you use a news site like the
BBC.
 Content with relevant keywords brings traffic to our site and helps
our search engine rankings
 Blogs and news stories build up a picture of our work and profile,
giving a record of the work we’ve done
 They may be linked to from other pages (on our site and other
people’s) – if we delete the page, the links break
 It takes time and resources to delete pages
Events
 If an event has been cancelled it’s better to put that information onto
the page rather than delete it – it helps us communicate the
cancellation
 Events come off the site calendar, node boxes and near-me map
when they’ve passed, so it’s unlikely anyone will find them
If the page is still getting a lot of traffic it’s fine to put an [Editor’s note] on
the page.
Does this mean we never delete old content?
No! We’re developing a content strategy to make sure our site doesn’t get
so full that we can no longer manage it.
29
Having a site full of great content also needs to be balanced with the
amount of space (which we pay for) that content takes up.
Back to contents page
Using your internet browser for quick navigation
You can use the favourites or bookmarks function on your web browser for
quicker navigation to your branch homepage and parts of the site which
allow you to edit and/or create content.
Please visit the following links for your browser:
Google Chrome: Bookmark a web page
Internet Explorer: Using favourites to save websites you like
Mozilla Firefox: Create bookmarks to save your favourite webpages
Apple Safari: How to add a bookmark in Safari
We suggest adding the following as favourites or bookmarks:
1. Log in link:
www.mssociety.org.uk/user/login?msdrupal6editors
2. Your dashboard
3. Your branch homepage
30
Promoting your branch microsite
All branch microsites have a shortened version of their full address.
For example the Ealing Branch shortened url which should be used for
promotion and printed materials is:www.mssociety.org.uk/ealing.
The full address is: www.mssociety.org.uk/near-me/branches/ealing-anddistrict-branch
The following pages lists all of the branches with the shortened URL’s
which should be used for printed branch materials, pdf newsletters, social
media or any other medium.
Type www.mssociety.org.uk/ followed by the text in the right hand side
column next to your branch name.
Social Media
A branch website should always be your first priority – you’ll get more
people seeing your content than on social media sites.
You should only open a social media account if you have the resources to
keep the account up to date – around 10-20 minutes per day, per account
Think about your audience - social media calls for an informal tone, but
remember that you're representing the MS Society online. It helps to be
interesting and engaging too!
Post relevant content, little and often, and repost content from other MS
Society pages - branches and nations
