Slider Items – Publish & Unpublish

Publish & Unpublish Slider Items

This describes how to add and remove the slider items that appear on the Home page of the website.

Publish a Slider Item

1. Log in to the website.
2. Add a new event if necessary.
3. Navigate to the event in EventsDev-Future view and note the event number (in parenthesis at end of title).
4. Create a 400px x 400px image for the slider and note its location on your computer.
5. Click the “Add Slider” button in the right sidebar.
6. Add a title — this becomes the image caption in the slider.
7. Click the “Add Image” button and navigate to the location of the 400×400 image on your computer. Select it and upload it.
8. Add the URL of the event you wish the image to be linked to. This will be of the form: https://www.arboretumfriends.org//Events#NNNNN where NNNNN is the event number you found in the earlier step. Don’t omit the pound sign — the link won’t work without it.
9. Set the Publish / Unpublished dates and times
   1. Leave Publish date / time blank if you are going to publish it immediately
10. Set Publish Yes to publish it immediately.
11. Press “Save”. The Slider is now active.
