Manual: Directory

The directory page displays the aggregate view of all directory pages on the website. Each person is displayed in a condensed view, or teaser. Their name will link to a web page once the Body section of their individual page is filled in.

The full details of each person are on their bio page.

  • The content type for any person at any level is called "faculty."
  • If faculty have individual pages or websites outside of the template, they can link to it from these faculty pages. The content from an older web page could also be copied into these pages.
  • For consistency among entries, find common elements to put into the highlight box on the right.

Adding an entry
Select 'Add Content' in the top menu, then select 'Faculty' from the list of content types.

Editing an entry
Faculty and staff pages are edited via their individual entries, not from the main directory page.

You can either:

  • Go to the main content list, find their name/entry, and click 'Edit'. You can filter by content type 'Faculty' to find it faster.
  • Go to the live directory entry and select 'Edit' to the right.

Removing an entry
You can either:

  • Click 'Delete' to the right of the entry name in the content list
  • Click 'Delete' at the bottom of the directory entry on the Edit screen.

Directory page fields

On the editing screen, some of the fields are used to create the card view display on the directory page, but all of the fields are used to display the bio page for each faculty item.

There are two versions, depending on which area website you are editing.
