Adding New Content Pages to a Group Page
Please note that this task can only be accomplished by group administrators, not group members.
A group administrator can add a new page to his or her group by clicking the link in the Admin Tools menu on the right side of the page.
Fill out the fields on the “Add a Page” form and click submit. Be sure to note down the title you use for the page.
Creating a page only adds it to the system. It does not create a link to it from anywhere. So, once you’ve made a page, you probably want to add a link to it from the group’s navigation, or from the group’s main page. Depending on the content, you may also want to mention it from the group’s blog.
Page URLs usually follow the format:
http://www.theasa.net/YOURGROUP/page/UNIQUEPAGENAME/
For example:
http://www.theasa.net/chapter_texas/page/history/
The UNIQUEPAGENAME is generated automatically when the page is created from the title of that page. The the example above, the page created was titled “History.” A page in the Texas Chapter titled “Group Generated Bibliography” would be have a Web address like this:
http://www.theasa.net/chapter_texas/page/group_generated_bibliography/
Titles are converted to Web addresses by replacing spaces with underscores, and removing capitalization and punctuation.
To add a page you create to the navigation, choose the Edit This link in the navigation, and add the link to your navigation using some basic HTML, or replace an existing navigation item:
<a href=“http://www.theasa.net/YOURGROUP/page/UNIQUEPAGENAME/”>PAGENAME</a>
Admins can edit any page by going to that page and clicking the “Edit This” link.
