Introduction
In this section, groups can provide an introduction and background for their group. They can also provide other links and information pages for their groups such as another website address, twitter, youtube or facebook pages. The editor will easily allow you to embed youtube videos, vimeo media, images, links and social icons.
How to begin?
If you are interested in setting up a page with SCBC, please contact DG Blair at dg@stewardshipcentrebc.ca and she will assist you in the setup and management of your page.
How can you use this page?
If you have a domain name, you can point your domain name at your page on the SCBC site. So if your domain is http://www.yourgroup.ca, anyone who entered this address will be directed to http://www.stewardshipcentrebc.ca/members/yourgroup. Your group will also be listed as a member page and will be searchable within this site.
In order to set up a page, you will need to sign a terms of use agreement with SCBC. This just ensures that you are aware of our guidelines, appropriate content and use of the page. This ensures that the search engine status of the site is protected and that everyone is on board with regards to the function and content that is appropriate for this space.
Features available on your page
These additional items are part of the shortcodes that are built into this theme. You can access these shortcodes through the editor window for your page and simply click on the button in the editor and the code appears with indications of where to locate your content. For example, the code for the Toggle box below is as follows:
(toggle_box)
(toggle_item title=”Open toggle item” active=”true”)You can hide text that you want to make available on your page. This allows groups to share what they do in a more accessible page without overwhelming the visitor with lines and lines of text. This acts like a page in a more traditional website but the visitor can simply click to open or close the content without leaving the page.(/toggle_item)
(toggle_item title=”Closed toggle item” active=”false”)More content here! This toggle item is closed. You can easily set the toggle items to be open or closed. (/toggle_item)
(/toggle_box)
*Note that the code is inserted with one modification -the brackets in shortcode are square [] not () but the modification was necessary in order to show you the code! You do not have to know how to set up the code as it is done for you and there is a very good documentation page that we will share with you if you choose to have a page with SCBC.
