WBAS Introduction
Introduction
Welcome to the new WBAS (Web Based Administration System) online Help Menu for
Canadian Power & Sail Squadron members. This new online Help Menu will be
constantly updated and changed as WBAS is improved for CPS Members.
The Introduction section contains information on why CPS implemented WBAS in the
document WBAS Introduction. Other statistical documentation is also included in the
Introduction section.
Below this you will find WBAS Support Procedures containing a document outlining how
to request help with WBAS as defined by the CPS IT Committee.
Other sections include Support Contacts, Frequently Asked Questions and TIPS, WBAS
Support Contacts, Documentation organized by Officer Role, Software and Hardware
Manufacturer contacts for your computer, links to Microsoft Support for Internet Explorer
issues specific to secure sites like WBAS.
TIP: If you look in the top left corner of your screen you will notice the following;
By default WBAS Help will open to the Contents of the Help Menu. You may also click
on Index for a listing of key words that will take you directly to that section of the Help
Menu. Search allows the Help Menu to be searched by key words in the same manner
as standardized software Help Menus.
Thank you to the IT Committee for all their assistance and time with this new and
improved help menu. As well as for the wonderful documentation and design from the
first help menu on CD that has been the basis for this Help Menu.

Online Course Trends and Statistics for training into
the Future!
The Virtual Classroom Vs. The Real One
Danielle Svetcov, Best of The Web, 09.11.00
http://www.forbes.com/best/2000/0911/050.html
Investors are pouring millions, soon to be billions, into the online education market.
Conservative figures from analysts at Thomas Weisel Partners, a merchant bank in San
Francisco, estimate a $10 billion virtual higher-ed market by 2003 and an $11 billion
corporate-learning market by the same year. That's $21 billion from almost nothing and
it's the kind of market that makes venturesome investors drool. John Chambers, the
highly esteemed CEO of Cisco Systems, calls online education the "killer app" of the
Internet.
Staying the Course:
http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/?i=56046.
Staying the Course: Online Education in the United States, 2008," published by the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, says 22 percent of American college students took at least
one web-based class in the fall 2007 semester, or 3.94 million students. That marked an
increase of 12.9 percent from the fall 2006 semester
Enrolled students from more than 20 countries
http://media.www.dailyillini.com/media/storage/paper736/news/2007/04/13/News/O
nline.Class.Enrollment.Grows.By.35.Percent-2840066.shtml\
Throughout the nation, more and more college students are pursuing the type of
education where a broadbrand connection is more important than a pencil and paper. At
2
WBAS Introduction
the University, this is evidenced in the Global Campus Initiative and similar programs
that contribute to a regional trend.
Nationwide, this growth translates into 3.2 million students who enrolled in an online
course in fall 2005 - representing almost 17 percent of all higher education students. In
the Midwest, 460,000 students from 11 states took an online course in the same
academic semester.
One Midwestern program is the University's Engineering and Computer Science Online
program, originally initiated in 1998. Since then, it has enrolled students from more than
20 countries, and it currently draws more than 550 students per year.
Online Education
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/348198_online22.html
In Washington, there were almost 70,000 community college students enrolled in online
courses
during the 2006-2007 academic year. Just four years before that, there were fewer than
40,000
students taking classes online.
And though many courses are being taught online with few or no face-to-face class
sessions,
there are also a plethora of hybrid courses sprouting up -- a sign that more instructors
are
3
welcoming the forums and online course supplement as valuable teaching tools.
______________________________________________________________________
________
What is heard over and over again in regards to the online training market is that it is
convenient for working people to schedule learning at their own pace around their own
schedule. There are no worries about facilities, parking, travel expense, schedules etc.
At home online training is convenient and in this economy taking a stronger hold of the
Education Market.
CPS Instructors are now needed more than ever in traditional and new capacities.
WBAS and Microsoft Products
To utilize WBAS with 100% of its features and to receive support you must be using a
Windows Operating System such as XP and login in via Internet Explorer.
Why does WBAS only run on Windows Operating System Products such as XP using
Internet Explorer.
As it is extremely difficult and costly to design and support such a large application to
run on multiple operating systems and web-browsers it was decided that we would
implement a system that was designed to work with the majority of home computers.
See Operating System and Internet Browser Market Share statics below from and
independent Net Application company.

This does not mean that you will be unable to login to WBAS on other operating
systems or by using other browser. Some functions may not be available or may not
work as expected.
I have found that on a MAC even with the MAC version of Internet Explorer it is
impossible to complete work as a Web Master as the editing simply loops. Other users
have discovered other issues with different web browsers running on XP.
Internet Explorer installs by default on XP and allows you to access all functions of
WBAS. Please ensure you are using Internet Explorer if you are experiencing any
strange WBAS behavior.
Why WBAS?
CPS is a volunteer based organization. In that spirit, when office technologies emerged
in the 80ies, CPS volunteers developed the first computer based database system. This
first generation level of office automation replaced labour intensive paper records and
help stabilize staffing level to 11 or 12 employees while membership continued to grow
from 8000 to 37 000 members.
In addition, in the late 90's, CPS also managed the database of two government
programs. The existing Restricted Operator Certificate – Maritime for maritime radio and
the new Pleasure Craft Operator Card programs. In addition to our database of 150 000
members and ex-members, the PCOC database presently contains 250 000 operators
and the ROC-M database 305 000 operators
.

WBAS Introduction
Since 2000, our existing system designed in the 80ies could no longer support the
needs of CPS and these large complex membership and qualification databases. The
system was:
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
Fragile
Difficult to maintain
Fragmented (more than 7 separate databases)
Inaccurate (due to fragmentation)
Un-scalable
Obsolete technology (DB3 and Clipper)
Did not integrate with Web site and e-commerce technologies
Following many discussion about updating the system, it was determined that the IT
needs were too extensive to expect donation of any volunteer time and expertise to
make this happen quickly.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to seek a solution developed by
professionals. The RFP was developed by a committee. They looked at:
·
·
·
Existing needs
Future Needs of the Staff and Squadron Volunteers
Existing Solutions on the Market
The public RFP was sent to selected solutions providers and was posted on the
National Web site. Solution was to be Open Architecture Technology:
Common Industry Standard Products for:
· Applications
· Database Management System (DBMS)
· Communication Systems
· No Proprietary Software unless held in Escrow
Browser Based
· Commonly Used Browsers
· Bilingual potential to the End User
Vendor Qualifications
· Proven experience in like organization
· Demonstrated Track Record for Implementation and Maintenance
Facilities to house: databases, applications and network websites with complete
security
· Unlimited growth potential.
· 24/7 Support
· Application and Facilities
7
Quick and Easy Migration of Databases
Cost Effective
Affordable to CPS
To survive in the face of the new generation technology savvy boaters, CPS had to
reach the 21st century and be able to offer the ability for the public to browse our
services online and register to services online. This meant the implementation of a state
of the art e-commerce environment that could also be deployed to squadron and district
volunteers who want to manage their squadron's or district's affairs on-line and
efficiently.
Since early 2008, all squadrons and district can manage their operations on line and
have a web presence for announcing their courses without the need of an expert
volunteer webmaster. Material orders with CPS Headquarters are done on-line by ecommerce. All squadrons can use the National e-commerce facilities to collect credit
card transactions form its members and the public. Membership officers can manage
membership renewal and obtain all necessary reports online.

WBAS Change Procedures
Change Request Procedures
Note: Change Requests are authorized for District Commanders and WBAS District
Officer to prevent duplication. Please forward Member change requests to either of
these CPS Officers in you area for formal submission to the IT Committee to be
considered.
Status of Change Request will be submitted by WBAS user to District Commanders and
WBAS District Officer. In order to reduce duplication and wasted effort Change
Requests will be submitted by WBAS District Rep or District Commander after being
reviewed for content and clarity.
An online form will be provided to WBAS District Rep and District Commanders to
present a comprehensible detail of the request. The Online Form will be completed by
WBAS District Rep on behalf of member including as many details as possible on the
issue and contact information for further clarification.
The details in a Change Request must include;

Expected or anticipated benefits derived from the change
Additional Comments (optional)
Receipt of submission will be acknowledged and requests reviewed by the IT
Committee and the appropriate stakeholders involved in evaluating the change request.
The IT Committee will evaluate the Change Requests based on the following criteria;
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
Who has authority for the change
What is the priority
Resources required
Evaluate benefits of change
3rd party participation
Do we require Specification for Quote
Who authorizes action to implement change
Time-line schedule for the above activities should be established
Some decision will be clearly an IT requirement and some will require policy change
and specific budget approval. It is necessary to control these decisions without bogging
down the realization of possible benefits they may offer. If, after full evaluation
(including cost benefit) a change is deemed warranted, it will be prioritized and
11
scheduled with appropriate notification. However, if after full evaluation a change is not
considered warranted, appropriate notification of decline will be sent to the respective
WBAS district Rep/District Commander.
WBAS District Support Representatives and District Commanders may submit change
requests meeting the above criteria via the CPS WBAS Change Request Form via this
link;

You have created an Excel spreadsheet of your membership list using WBAS. Now you
want to create labels for envelopes so that you can mail a newsletter, a notice, etc. The
following steps will create labels that can be stuck onto envelopes.
You will need to know the name of the Excel spreadsheet. When the spreadsheet is on

Consistent WBAS logouts\Overflow Error
While entering data on WBAS, I have to log in repetitively and lose information already entered.
If you are receiving constant disconnects from WBAS or you are unable to continue to
enter information. This may be caused by Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files. If
you close the Internet Explorer window you are currently working in and open a new
one you should be able to again enter information into WBAS.
If this is a ongoing issue please change the size of your Temporary Internet file size as
shown in the step by step procedure below.
Updating your Internet Explorer can also resolve many time out and disconnect errors.
Anti Virus and Firewall Warning
Constant disconnects requiring you to log in multiple times can also be caused by some
anti-virus software that will clear your cookies or prevent cookies from being added to
your system. Clearing the cookies deletes your information while you are online and this
will force you to login to WBAS again. Contact your anti-virus software manufacturer to
assist with changing your settings. Please post any helpful information to the WBAS
forum to assist other members.
Some AntiVirus system such as Norton 360 will occasionaly clean up the Temporary
Internet File. This may interfere with your current browsing session and logged in status.
50
Internet Explorer has had some confirmed issues with constant logins to Secure Sites
while using older version of Internet Explorer.
Update your Internet Explorer by using Windows Update located on your computer.
Update is ussually found by going to Start – All Programs – Windows Update.
If you are working form a Corporate Network (in the office), there may be a Network
policy preventing your browser from accepting any session cookies.
After Entering Data Repetitively, I get an Overflow message
When this occurs, close all your browser sessions. Re-open and login on the CPS site.
This may occur because your computer Temporary Internet File is overflowing.
Follow the instructions below to increase the size of your Temporary Internet File.
Changing the Size of the Temporary Internet File
Open Internet Explorer
Click on ”Tools” then ”Internet Options” from the drop down selection.
On the general tab of internet options (the tab it opens to)
Click on the ”settings” button
51
The following window will open. In the Temporary Internet Files and History Settings
window, you can change the disk space to use for Temporary Internet Files. It is
typically set to a small 50MB and could have been set to a lower value to provide a false
sense of security. Typically increase the Disk space to use by increments of 50MB and
see if the situation is improved.
52
Click OK
on this screen and the Internet Options screen to close.
Technical Reason for Increasing the Temporary Internet File directory size
As you browse the internet, this directory collects all tracking cookies and keeps some
files for quick access in frequently browsed sites. As you edit content for the course
calendar or the Web content editor, a session file grows as you add content to a WBAS
wizard page until you submit its content. This is particularly true when you work on
tables and add images to the content. When working on adding a lot of content, save
frequently to reset the session file.
AntiVirus Software
Certain anti virus software has been know to conflict with secure web to sites.
Please consult your anti virus software vendor for specific solutions to your issues.

Here are some helpful hints.

Case 1 - Member from another Squadron or District: You are a Squadron or District
Commander and you cannot find a member from another Squadron or District that
volunteered for your group. What do you do? Click here to fill and submit an electronic
form to HQ. HQ staff will enter the submission on your behalf.
Related Question & Answer:
Why this restriction on the online tool? For privacy reasons: too many costly to develop
filters are required to allow officers to view members of other squadrons or district.
Case 2 - Deceased Member:You will not find a deceased person in your list even if the
member was in good standing. Click here to fill and submit an electronic form to HQ.
HQ staff will enter the submission on your behalf.
Case 3 - Lapsed or Missing Member: You know a volunteer should be a member of
your squadron or district but the online tool does not find him/her. Merit Mark can only
be awarded to members in good standing. Please verify your membership directory or
the unpaid member list. The volunteer will have to normalize the situation by paying the
dues of the year the hours were worked. Even if you submit the electronic Merit Mark
request form, HQ will not process the request for a non member and will not act to
correct the volunteer status.
Case 4 - Previous Year Forgotten Submission: You or your predecessor forgot to
submit Merit Mark requests for work done prior to 2006. Click here, the same electronic
form as above, to request a correction and a pre-2008 merit mark.
Related Question & Answer:
Why can't we enter past year submission directly online? The new database is capable
to keep historical submission data. Going forward, past year submission will be possible
from 2008. Unfortunately, the old database did not keep historical records of prior
submissions. As the conversion to the new database is 2007, staff will perform the
manual process and get it approved by the Chief Commander.
Case 5 - Submission Error: If you made an error on your submission. Contact Lynda
Green at HQ at [email protected] or 1-888-CPS-BOAT ext 28. Staff has the
ability to make the correction.

Challenging an Exam a second time
The registration process is similar to registering a new student except that you do not
have to reenter the person's full information in the registration process. Use the
Certificate Number in the original class list Excel sheet to “Search” the person and use
the same person. DO NOT USE the Registration ID which is just that, a course or event
registration unique ID.
The student is no longer available as not all students re-write or write after a “fail” or “did
not write”. To keep the statistical information the student has to be re-registered but the
process is quicker.
Follow these steps:
Export the original Excel class list. Find and use the Certificate Number (7th column) in
the original class list Excel sheet to “Search” the person in the first registration screen
and to select that same person. DO NOT USE the Registration ID (1st column) which is
just that, a course or event registration unique ID. The rest of the registration screen will
be pre-populated with the information you had already entered previously.
Then the student is available again in the Qualification wizard.

On Line Processes for Squadron to Enter PCOC or ROC-M Marks
The WBAS process to enter Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) for BoatPro or Accredited Boating
and Restricted Operator Certificate- Maritime (ROC-M) marks is now available and similar to the
process to enter marks for any other courses as described in the WBAS Help menu www.cpsecp.ca/CPSHelp/Entering_Student_Marks.htm with additional steps required to maintain the Audit
Trail required by these government certification programs.
There are presently 2 new online processes that can be followed: the On Site Electronic Mark Entry
Method or the Off Site Electronic Mark Entry Method. Depending upon the availability of technology
in a given squadron and the availability of Internet access, wired or wireless, in a given exam
location, squadrons may chose one or the other method.
Benefit to Squadrons and Candidates: These two new electronic Mark Entry Processes are made
available to squadrons to improve customer (candidate) service. The use of one of these processes
will help reduce the delay between the time the exam is written and the time the card is issued. The
present paper method and data entry done by Headquarters staff suffers large delays in the spring
and early summer due to all applications being mailed by squadrons at the same time. Even with
hired temporary staff, the backlog can climb up to 5 or 6 weeks when thousands of applications are
received at the same time.
Note: the On Site Electronic Mark Entry Method will be used at the January 2010 Toronto
International Boat show for challenged exams.
For those squadrons and instructors with little or no access to the Internet and WBAS, the Mark
Entry Process by Headquarters Staff will remain available and will continue to follow the present
paper and mail process.
1. On Site Electronic Mark Entry Method
By using the On Site Electronic Mark Entry Method squadrons no longer need to carry paper copies
Applications for PCOC or Applications for ROC-M and the students and examiners no longer need to
complete them. Squadrons will be able to print a PDF temporary certificate once the exam mark has
been entered online. It is the method best suited to demonstrate the fastest customer service to all
candidates writing the PCOC or ROC-M exams if the technology is available in the exam room.
a. Pre Requisite

Canada. A squadron that does not return answer sheets within 2 weeks of the exam being written
will be prevented from using WBAS for any future courses until all the answer sheets have been
received.
2. Off Site Electronic Mark Entry Method
179
The advantage of this Off Site Electronic Mark Entry Method is to accelerate the delay between the
time the exam is written and the card is received by the candidates. In this case, paper applications
for PCOC or Applications for ROC-M are still required and are to be used as temporary certificates.
You will also be able to print a PDF temporary certificate once the exam mark has been entered

211
In the main screen after clicking Web Master click Web Content Manager.
You then have access to edit the following areas by clicking on names in red.
212
Web Master
Note: Only active pages are visible online.
You can edit/create the site Website Banner, and you can edit the circled content and
links. Take a look at www.cps-ecp.ca/Quinte, www.cps-ecp.ca/Niagara, www.cpsecp.ca/Rideau or www.cps-ecp.ca/Brant . Brant and Quinte are live and linked to our
National Web site.
We recommend that the Web Site Banner be kept simple with Squadron Name, Tag
line, and Squadron Burgee or area picture/burgee art work. Replace the pictures of
books by the burgee or other significant art work for your squadron.
The Home page can be edited from the “Welcome to the Homepage” link.
For the other pages, just click on one of the links. You cannot edit the Course and
Events Calendar as they are taken form the National course and event calendars.
Do not edit the “Squadron Home”, “CPS Home”, “Course & Events”, “Events Calendar”
and “CPS Home Page”. The Course & Events” and “Events Calendar” are populated
automatically from the National calendar.
213
The content editor is the same as the one used for the Course Event calendar. To make
a page that is not ready to be visible to the public, just de-activate it from the page menu
once you have selected that page to edit.
Instructions on the Content editor screen are provided on the page. Again we have the
same issue as for the course calendar: an uploaded image may not appear immediately
in the “Image gallery”. You will have to save, get out of the page under edit and come
back.
We do not recommend that you use pictures much larger than 200 px by 200px. For an
occasional group picture, you may indulge with a larger one 350 by 350 px.
If you have multiple photos and high resolutions photos, we suggest you link to a one of
many free Photo servers.
The National map will not point to your squadron new site until you are ready and tell us
to do so.
Important - Content Publishing Delay
With a traditional web site, as soon as content is uploaded it is available for viewing on the live
site. A developer can upload a page and immediately go view it to make sure it looks the way it
should The WBAS is a content management system and does not publish immediately.
Therefore, changes made in the Content Editor are not immediately reflected in the live site, and
it may take some time before they are. Remembering this can avoid a considerable amount of
frustration when a page does not update immediately. This also applied to hiding and showing a
link. All changes have this publishing delay. This delay is dependent on various factors,
including how busy the server is. Users have found it may be as long as fifteen minutes or
longer.
This may also be due to your Internet Explorer Settings if you are not set to check for a new page
every time you
Click on the Start button and then click on Control Panel. Then double-click on the Internet
Options icon.
Once you double click on the Internet Options icon you will be presented with a screen similar to
Figure 1 below.
214
Web Master
Figure 1. General Tab of Internet Options
To access the settings for the Temp. Internet files you will click on the Settings button
designated by the blue box in Figure one above. When you click on the Settings button you will
be presented with a screen similar to Figure 2 below.
215
The settings dialog shown in Figure 2 is broken down into two sections as described below:
Check for newer versions of stored pages
The options in this section tell Internet Explorer what it should do when you visit a web page.
Every time you visit a web site Internet Explorer stores a copy of this web page in the Temporary
Internet Files folder. When you revisit that same web page, whether or not that information is
downloaded again or taken directly from locally stored copy is decided based upon the setting
you choose in this section. These settings are described below:
Every visit to the page
If you select this option then every time you view a web page that you had viewed previously,
Internet Explorer will check to see if the web page content has been changed since you last
viewed it. If it has changed, Internet Explorer will display the new page and store a copy of it in
the Temporary Internet Files folder.
Setting this selection can increase the time it takes to view a web page, but will guarantee that
you are viewing only the most current content from that page and not content that was stored in
your Temporary Internet Files.
Recommendation: Use this option if you always want to see the most current content of a
particular web site.
Every time you start Internet Explorer
If you select this option Internet Explorer will only check web pages for newer content the first
time you go to it since starting Internet Explorer. That means that if you start Internet Explorer
and visit a web site, Internet Explorer will check for new content. If you go to that site again in
the same session, having not restarted Internet Explorer, the web site will not be checked for
newer content and Internet Explorer will display the content from the Temporary Internet Files.
Using this option can reduce the amount of time it takes to display a web page but there is no
guarantee that the content that is displayed when you revisit a web site is the most current.
If you use this option and want to see the most current version of a web site you can click on the
View menu and then click on Refresh.
Recommendation: Use this option if you only care about seeing the most current content of a
web site during that one session of Internet Explorer. For most people this option is the best
choice.
Automatically
Selecting this option will have Internet Explorer manage how it checks for new content on web
sites. When you visit a web site Internet Explorer will not check for new content when you
revisit a web site during the same session or even the same day. Over time Internet Explorer will
determine whether or not images are changing on the pages you visit, and if they do not change
will check for newer images even less frequently.
Using this option will display the web site in the quickest manner but at the time same give you
no guarantee that you are viewing the latest content.
216
Web Master
If you use this option and want to see the most current version of a web site you can click on the
View menu and then click on Refresh.
Recommendation: With the high speed of Internet connections these days you should generally
not use this option.
Never
With this option Internet Explorer will never check to see if the content on a web site is the most
current and you will always be given the content stored in the Temporary Internet files.
If you want to see whether a specific page has been updated even when this option is selected,
click the View menu, and then click Refresh.
Recommendation: You should never use this option.
The Content Manager
The Content Manager lists all the pages available for editing on the site, along with each page's
status (active or not active) and the date of the last edit to that page.
The following is a list of pages that should be of interest to most Web Masters for editing:
Page Title
Description
Website Banner
This is a banner that is displayed on the top of
every page of the site.
Welcome to the members Homepage
This is the main page that users will see when
they go to the squadron home page at
http://www.cps-ecp.org/squadron
Squadron Home
This is just a link to the squadron home page
and does not have any editable content.
Bridge
A page for information regarding the squadron
bridge
Courses
A link to the course information section on the
national site – not editable here
Course Information
A page for information regarding courses
offered by the squadron
Member Benefits
Events Calendar
A link to the event calendar on the national site
Publications
Squadron publications
History
A page for history of the squadron
217
Image Gallery
Classified
Links
A page for links of interest
Contacts
A page for contact information for the
squadron
The following is an example of the left side menu of the Squadron’s home page. It allows a
visitor to your site to navigate to any page by clicking on one of the headings. If any one heading
seems to not be useful for the site, it can be deactivated by following the instructions in the
section “How to Hiding/Showing a Link in the Left Navigation”.
218
Web Master
Using the Web Content Manager for the First Time
When you login to the Web Content Manager for the first time all pages will be activated
(visible) and will have the default “Under Construction” text on them.
1. If you have not edited any content on your site before, the first step is to customize
the “Website Banner” which is displayed on the top of all pages.
2. The “Welcome to the members Homepage” is the first page visitors see when they
visit your site. This is second page you should edit. These two pages are circled in
the following picture.
3. In the next section we will begin by editing the “Website Banner” and continue on to
edit the “Welcome to the members Homepage” and other pages in the following
sections.
219
Editing a Page
These steps apply regardless of whether you have added content to a page already or not. If this
is your first time using the Web Content Editor, all pages will be enabled but will have the
default “Under Construction” text on them. For this example, we will edit the “Website Banner”
which is displayed at the top of every page of your site. Perform the following steps from the
Content Manager to edit a page:
1. Before starting these steps, make sure you have logged in and are on the Web Content
Manager screen.
2. Click the underlined heading of a page, eg: “Website Banner”. This will open the
content editor. For a list of pages and their meanings see the section entitled “The
Content Manager”.
220
Web Master
3. When you enter this page for the first time, it will have some default wording. It can
be removed by simply highlighting the text with your mouse and pressing the delete
key on your keyboard. For now, let’s just change the 4 asterisks, “****” to the name
of your Squadron.
221
4. Click your mouse right after the “****” and then backspace over them to remove
them. Using the content editor is very much like using a word processor so if you are
familiar with word processing many of the same concepts apply here.
5. Type in the name of your Squadron: eg: “Fredericton”. You should now have a page
that looks like the following: Note: In the menu bar, “size” is for size of the text and
is only available in 7 sizes. If you want to change the style of your text, click “B” for
bold type, “I” for italics, or “U” for underlined type. Remember, there is only so
much space between the picture box and the right side of the page, so your text has to
fit within this space. The smaller the picture the more space you have for your type.
222
Web Master
You can also adjust the alignment of your text by clicking on any of the alignment
buttons (left, center, right, justified).
6. Once you have made all your changes, click the “Update >>” button located at the
bottom of the page.
7. You will be presented with the following screen:
223
8. Click “Done”. You will be returned to the Content Manager.
9. You can now repeat this entire section but for the “Welcome to the members
Homepage” page. For now, just place some simple text to greet your visitors. Later
we will learn how to create a more impressive page by adding images.
Editing a Page (For Advanced Users)
For web masters with experience editing Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code directly,
the Content Editor provides a means to edit the source HTML of a content page. This can be
useful for making formatting adjustments to a page that can only be done through HTML or for
users who wish to editor their content in an external editor such as Dreamweaver. For most
users, the regular Content Editor features are sufficient and it is strongly recommended that all
edits be done in the normal editor unless the user has a very good reason for using the source
editor.
WARNING: If you choose to use this feature be very careful that your HTML is formatted
correctly! Improper coding of tags can corrupt the page editing capability making it
impossible to edit the page again. You are also strongly discoursed from importing HTML
from existing web pages as this can often lead to many problems, including broken pages
and security problems.
To access the Source Editor:
on the Body Content editor window
1. Click on the “View/Edit Source” button
toolbar. This is the last button to the right which looks like a set of angle brackets <>.
224
Web Master
2. A new window will appear showing the source of the page. You may make edits in
this window and then click the “OK” button to save and close the window or you may
simply click the “Apply” button if you wish to save without closing the window.
Along the stop of the Source Editor are 6 buttons:
·
Cut/Copy/Paste – Allows you to cut, copy or paste text from/to the source edit from
other programs.
·
Undo – Undo your changes
·
Redo – Redo changes that have been undone.
·
Search and Replace – Allows you to find and replace text within the page.
These commands function similarly to those found in any word processor or text editor.
Along the bottom of the source editor are several more buttons or controls:
·
Wrap Text – Checking this box will cause text in the editor to wrap at the edge of the
screen instead of allowing it to scroll left-right.
·
Cancel – Abandon all changes
·
Apply – Save Changes
·
Ok – Save and Exit the editor
225
Content Editor Features
Before leaving the Content Editor, let’s go over the items that you see on this page. You will
spend most of your time on this screen so it is a good idea to be familiar with what is on it. You
will see several items on the page. Each one is editable:
226
·
Heading: The heading of the page may be entered in the “Heading” field but the
default heading should be acceptable on most pages. This is also the title that appears
in the left-hand navigation menu for those pages that are in the menu.
·
Activate: The Activate check box is used to set whether this content page will be
published (visible) or not. If this box is not checked, then this page will not be
accessible and will not appear in the left-hand navigation. Instructions on how to
hide and show items in the left hand navigation are in the section “Hiding/Showing a
Link in the Left Navigation”.
Web Master
·
Image: Use this area to upload images to the image library. Before an image can be
used on a page it must be added to the image library. See the section on using the
Library Image Function for a more complete description of how to add images to
your pages.
·
Body Content: This editor provides a way to edit your page content. Content may
be pasted from other sources such as MS Word, other word processors or a web
browser. This editor area works similarly to a word processor. Ensure that you use
the “Paste from Word” feature when pasting from Word, other word processors or
HTML sources (Web Pages). See the section on Pasting from Word for more details.
Other aspects of the editor are covered in more detail in following sections.
For more information on using the Content Editor see, the PDF document linked from the Web
Master section of Squadron Administration or use this URL:
https://www.cps-ecp.ca/members/members.asp?WCE=C=62|K=226690
NOTE: At any time, click the “Cancel” button to abandon changes and return to the content
manager.
Linking to Documents on Your Pages – Using the
Database Link Function
The database link function is similar to the Library Image function in that it allows you to use
files that you have uploaded into the WBAS. In this case, instead of displaying an image, a link
is created to a file. When users view a page with a link, they will be able to click the link and
227
view the document that you have linked in. This can be useful for posting squadron
communications such as minutes of meetings or newsletters.
It’s best to post documents in a web-accessible format. For example, if you are posting your
meeting minutes or other communications, it is best to convert them into PDF files before
uploading them. That way, people do not need to have the same word processor as you. Adobe
Reader, for viewing PDFs is freely available and is already on most computers. Converting
documents to PDF is beyond the scope of this book since it is different depending on which
program you are using.
Images should be in one of the accepted web formats: JPEG, GIF or PNG.
Pasting Content from a Word processor
For larger amounts of text it is often better to write the content in a word processor such as Word
before putting it on the web. This allows you edit the content more easily and to do spell check
and other operations on it. It also may be the case that you have a document that was previously
created for print but now you would like to publish it to the web. The Paste from Word feature
should be used for this. For content coming from a word processor or another web page you
should always use the Paste from Word feature. Using this feature will clean up the markup in
your Word document and make it suitable for the web. If you do not use this feature, content
pasted in from other web pages may make your site inaccessible or display incorrectly as it may
not interact well with the WBAS. Do not paste content directly into the Content Editor. Instead,
use the “Paste from Word” feature. It is a must that you do this.
Rule of Thumb: If you did not type the content in the WBAS use the Paste from Word feature.
To use the “Paste from a Word program feature, follow these steps. For this example, we will
use a document that was already created in Word. Our document is the History of the
Fredericton Squadron.
1. In Microsoft word (or any other word processor/web browser), select the text you
want to copy and use that program’s copy feature to copy it to the clipboard. In Word
and most Windows programs you can press CTRL-A to select everything and then
CTRL-C to copy it.
2. Back in the WBAS, open the editor for the page you wish to paste the content into.
We will use the History page. Click it’s heading from the Content Manager.
228
Web Master
3. Position your cursor within the document where you would like the pasted content to
appear. In our case, we want to replace the “Under Construction” text with our own
so we select it all, delete it and position our cursor in the top left of the page.
4. In the Content Editor, click the “Paste from Word”
button.
229
5. The “Paste from Word” dialog will appear.
6. Copy and paste your content from Word into this dialog and click “OK”.
230
Web Master
7. The window will close and your content will be pasted in the page.
8. You can now use the formatting features of the Content Editor too bar to further
format this text. Don’t forget to click the “Update >>” button once you are done to
save your changes!
Adding an Image to your Page
231
1. Position the cursor within your document where you would like the image to appear.
Do not forget this step as it is very important or the image insert will not work!
To do this, click your mouse within the edit window. If you do not see the flashing
cursor within the edit area, click again.
2. Click the “Library Image” button
on the editor toolbar.
3. The Hyperlink dialog will appear.
4. Type an optional text description of the image in the “Title Alt” field, click the image
you wish to insert and then close the dialog.
·
232
The image should now be in your document.
Web Master
NOTE: If you do not see the image you recently uploaded in the Hyperlink dialog, exit
the editor and go back in. It may take some time for images to be made available after
uploading.
Now that the image is in your page you can position it a little better. Let’s move this image to
the top right of the page. To edit the placement of an image that is already in your page you can
drag the image around. If you want to change the image’s alignment, you can do this by clicking
the “Image” button and changing the settings on the screen that pops up.
1. Click on the “Image” button. The “Image” dialog will appear.
233
2. Click on the drop-down list for “Alignment” and select “right”.
3. Click the “ok” button to save this change. Your image should move to the right as
show in the picture below.
234
Web Master
Now the image is on the right but it is still not in the correct spot. We want to the image
to be in the very top right. If you now try to drag it to the top right, it will not go
completely to the top right corner. Instead we will have to drag the image to the top left.
The reason for this is because of how HTML works. In order to get the image on the
very right, it must be placed before all the text.
4. Click and drag the image to the spot right before the word “Mission”. You screen
will now look like the following:
Don’t forget to click the “Update >>” button to save the changes to your page!
Uploading an image or document
Before a document is made available in the Database Link, it must be uploaded to the system. To
upload a document, follow these steps. In this example we will upload some meeting minutes
that were converted into PDF.
1. Click “Browse” in the Image and Document Upload area while editing a page
235
2. A “Choose File” dialog will open up. Locate the file you wish to upload from you
computer and click the “Open” button. Any file type can be uploaded but remember
that people will need to be able to view these files on the web. Images of types JPEG,
PNG and GIF are acceptable as well as documents from word processors or PDFs.
TIP: It is recommended that you use files that people cannot modify. For example, it is
better to upload a PDF than a Word Document. It’s also important to upload files that
people do not need special software to run, if possible.
3. The “Choose File” dialog will close and you will see the previous screen. Now click
the “”Click to Add File” button. Be patient, it may take some time for the file to be
uploaded to the CPS server depending on how big the file is and how fast your
Internet connection is.
236
Web Master
4. The name of the file should be displayed below the browse dialog.
5. Click the “Update >>” button. This will save the upload. Once you return to the
editor, you should be able to use the Document Link button from the editor toolbar to
add the image to your page. It may take some time before the document you
uploaded is made available. Once the document is uploaded, continue on to the next
section to add a link to your page.
Creating the Link
1. Go back into your document and then type the text you would like to have as a link.
For example, if you are posting your monthly meeting minutes for August, you could
create a link with the title “August 08 Minutes”. Then select this text by clicking and
dragging the mouse over it, the same way you select text in your word processor.
237
2. Click the “Database Link” button
appear.
3. Click the
on the editor toolbar. The Hyperlink dialog will
icon next to the file you wish to use and then click the “Insert” button.
4. The text you had selected show now appear as a link (blue underlined text). Don’t
forget to click the “Update >>” to save the changes you have made to your page.
238
Web Master
Using Tables on Content Pages
We will now move on to do some more advanced formatting of a page. In this section we will
edit the “Bridge” page and add a list of the Bridge Members in your Squadron in a table.
However, these same instructions can be used to add a table to any page.
1. From the Web Content Manager screen, click the underlined heading of a page, eg:
“Bridge”. This will open the content editor. For a list of pages and their meanings
see the section entitled “The Content Manager”.
239
If you have not edited the “Bridge” page before, you should see the following screen:
240
Web Master
2. Use your mouse to select the “This page is “under construction” text and then delete
it.
3. When all the text is removed, click your mouse inside the content editor so that cursor
is in the upper left corner. When inserting tables, your cursor must be within the
content editor or the insert will not work.
4. Click the “Insert Table”
button on the toolbar. Notice that a small grid will
appear in the bottom right of the content editor. It is pictured below:
241
This grid allows you to pick how many rows and columns you want in your table. Use
your mouse to pick how many rows and columns you want in your table by moving your
mouse over the grid and clicking. For example, if you want two columns and 8 rows,
click on the square in the second column and the eight row (see the picture below).
5. Click on the square in the second column and the eighth row of the grid to create an 8
row, 2 column table. If you have fewer bridge officers you can create a smaller
table. If you have more than 7 officers, create an 8 row table for now and we will
242
Web Master
learn how to make a bigger table later. Your screen should now look like the
following. Notice the table on your page. It has light gray outlines around the cells.
Let’s add a heading to the table with “Position” and “Name”. We’ll make the heading
bold so that it stands out from the rest of the table.
6. Click your mouse in the first cell in the first column.
7. Click the Bold
appear in a bold.
button on the toolbar. This will make the next text you type
8. Type the word “Position” into the table cell.
9. Do the same thing for the first cell of the second column, but instead of “Position”
type “Name”. Your screen should now look like the following:
243
10. Now continue by entering the positions of names in your table by clicking in each cell
and typing in the information.
11. Once you are done, save the page by clicking the “Update >>” button at the bottom.
Adding Rows to a Table
If you have more than seven bridge officers, the eight row table created above will not be big
enough. To add more rows to your table you can complete the following steps:
1. Click within the last row of your table.
in the toolbar. A small menu will appear near
2. Click the “Edit Table/Cell” button
the bottom right of the content editor.
244
Web Master
3. Click on the “Table Size” item in this little menu. The “Table Size” window will
appear:
4. Click on the button for “Insert Row (Below)”. Click this button for as many new
rows as you want.
5. Once you have added enough rows, click the “Close” button in the bottom right of the
“Table Size” window and you will be returned to your page.
6. Continue adding items to your table. Don’t forget to click the “Update >>” button at
the bottom of the screen to save your page when you are done!
If you need to delete a row or column, place the cursor at the last row or column that requires
deletion and use the same procedure as above but use the “Delete Row” or “Delete Column”
buttons.
Using the Library Image Function
You may wish to add images to your web pages.
If you do not have the material on your hard drive, like Course Covers, and you want to
download them from the CPS website to insert into your web page, you must first go back to
“Squadron Administration and click on “Course Management”
245
The Squadron Administration page will now appear. Click on “Library of Course Covers”
246
Web Master
The “Library of Course Covers” link will start the download of a zip file containing all the
course covers. You can open this file to get the course cover you want.
247
Once you have the image you would like to upload, using the upload images “browse” button,
you can search for the image on your hard drive and when you click the “open” button the image
is sent directly over the net to the CPS server and stored on its hard drive.
Images should be in one of three formats:
248
o
JPEG – For photographs taken with a digital camera or scanned pictures
o
GIF – For small computer generated images with very few colours, such as
icons and logos.
Web Master
o
PNG – For larger images that are not photographs such as large logos or
drawings.
Now that we have learned how to edit pages and how to find some images, let’s edit our
“Welcome to the members Homepage” page and add an image to it.
1. Click on the “Welcome to the members Homepage” in the Content Manager.
2. You should see the following screen appear. Note that the page in the picture below
is the Fredericton Squadron page and you may have entered different text on your
page:
249
Now we are ready to add an image. The first step is to upload an image to the CPS server so that
we can use it in our page.
Uploading an Image (or other file)
Before an image is made available in the Image Library, it must be uploaded to the system. To
upload an image follow these steps:
1. Click “Browse” in the Image and Document Upload area while editing a page
250
Web Master
2. A “Choose File” dialog will open up. Locate the image you wish to upload from you
computer and click the “Open” button. Any file type can be uploaded, but for this
example, we will only use image files of type JPEG, PNG or GIF.
TIP: Make sure the suffix is named at the end your file name such as: boat
sunset .jpg,
boat sunset .png, or boat sunset .gif
3. The name of the file should be displayed below the browse dialog. You should now
be able to use the Library Image button from the editor toolbar to add the image to
your page. It may be necessary to exit the editor before trying to add the image as it
sometimes takes a moment for the image to be available. The name and file will
appear below the browser only once. If you go out then come back to this page, it
does not show.
Hiding/Showing a Link in the Left Navigation
At this point you should have a few simple pages added to your site. Not all squadrons will want
all the links in the left-hand navigation. For example, you may not want to use the “Classified”
page. Notice in the screen shot that all the pages on the Fredericton site have “Active” next to
their names except “Classified” which has “Inactive”. This indicates that “Classified” will not
be shown on the Fredericton site. Hiding pages you are not going to use or pages you are not
going to use right away helps keep your site clean. Visitors do not like browsing a site that has a
lot of useless information or pages that say “Under Construction”. It is better to hide a page until
you have content on it.
To hide or show items on the left navigation follow these steps:
251
1. Click on the underlined name of the page you wish to hide or show, eg: “Image
Gallery”. The “Edit Squadron Content” page will be displayed.
2. On the “Edit Squadron Content” page set the check box next to “Activate (if not set,
content is Deactivated)” according to the following:
o
Checked – Page will be displayed
o
Unchecked – Page will be hidden
