To all CMS Web Developers
We will be listing CMS best practices on this page. Please check back often. Thank you. We recommend
anytime you work on child pages for longer than five minutes, please
save or publish the page often as you work on it. Pages you save on
the CMS will tagged as "Draft". You can go back to a draft to publish
it. Please be aware the CMS will time out your session/login after 10
minutes of no activity. Your work will be lost if you time out of the
CMS and you have not saved your work. You may also chose to
write in MSWord, which does not time out. Then come back to the CMS to
create your child page once you have finished creating the page in
MSWord. We
recommend everytime you create a new child page in the section for URL
TITLE do not leave any spaces or use any special characters (ex. !,
&, #, $, etc.). The end result will be underscores ( _ ) in
there place when viewed in the search bar and links. Not only will
the underscores be annoying, but if you were to change the name of the
child page later, the links using that original URL TITLE will create
page errors, until we refresh our database. Ex. URL Title Inputted | URL Title Outputted | Correct URL Input | faculty & staff
| faculty___staff
| facultystaff
| faculty/staff
| faculty_staff
| facultystaff
