how to access

• click on the copyright symbol at the footer on a page you have access to
  • if one page doesn’t work, try another one — sometimes Omni doesn’t let you login to a page that someone else is editing already, or you may not have permission to edit that page

types of edits to ask me to do (:

• website A-Z index entries

• structural page edits (ex: wanting two columns instead of one, want to add a side table with the schedule, mobile responsiveness)

• text inside a dropdown

  • on the new program pages, you can edit inside the dropdown.
  • can’t easily access the dropdown tab info from text editor on old pages, since it involves animation
  • also, if the dropdown arrows on your dropdowns get deleted, I can put them back (:

• text inside a modal pop-up window

  • again, the animation means it isn’t easily editable from text editor
  • just let me know what the edits are and I can update it

• contact/staff information on most pages* (some program pages differ)

  • or if you’re comfortable with a little bit of code, see here:

  Editing smccd.config.xml

  • important: your pages will break if this is done incorrectly. Check with me first (:
  • new program pages are different — check with me on these

navigation in the backend

• use “filter” searchbar inside Omni to quickly find your webpages
• follow the blue breadcrumbs/filepath at the top to navigate through the folder

• when you are editing a page, don’t click through the page’s side-menu — it’s not actually taking you to edit the page you clicked on, it’s just demonstrating how that navigation is linked on the actual live site
  • use the blue breadcrumbs in the top left to actually navigate between pages.
    • when you are editing one page, there is always a blue “Back to Pages” breadcrumb in the top left

Photos & Files

• upload & publish images to the images folder and documents to the assets folder before using them on your pages

  • don’t forget to PUBLISH the uploaded file after following these steps

  Add an Image

  how to edit

  • navigate to desired folder

  • click page you want to edit

  • make sure you’re selected on the edit section at the top (”preview, edit, versions, etc.”)

  • Click the green square that says “Edit” right underneath the page title in the main content area

    • NOT the green ‘edit’ on the side menu, or at the top of the banner

  • make your edits - if you’re pasting text, review the resource below.

    Copy & Pasting on Omni

  • click the blue ‘save’ button on the top right

  • review your edits on the ‘preview’ screen

  • click the green ‘publish’ button on the top right

    • if you edit without publishing, the page will stay checked out to you and nobody else will be able to make edits.
    • turn the lights off before you go! (: 💡

  text editor

  • if you press & hold the ‘shift’ key before pressing the green edit button, you bring up the old Omni interface
    • you must use this method for editing the ‘navbar.pcf’ files
  • the “help” icon on the far right of the page editor toolbar explains each tool on the toolbar
  • important buttons include

    • font size

    • link

      • title your links with a useful short descriptor
        • ex: Agenda 11/8/22

      Add a PDF

    • tables

      • can create or edit one with a given number of rows/columns on the text editor
      • if you’d like a table to be styled (striped rows, borders, etc) I can add them

    • images
