If you would like to edit the Upcoming Events section in the left nav of your site you will need to log on to ts.wou.edu on the Remote Desktop. Within the X:drive/include_files/subsite_files folder you will find your site's folder there. Once inside the folder you will want to double click on the file called left_nav.php. It will open the file in Dreamweaver. Click the Code view button at the top


Depending on which month you want to show it will either be month01 for  January all the way to month12 for December. Change the month to the one you would like. Change the number date to what you would like it to be, if it is only a single digit put a 0 infront. (example January you would put 01) Then change the name of the event.

Then hit save. Refresh the browser and your changes should take effect.

To update a PDF link on your site you will need to log on to the Remote Desktop and locate the original file that you created the PDF from. For example a Word Document. Once your changes are made and you are ready to post it to the web do a "Save as a PDF"  Name it the exact name as the current PDF file on the web. Example if the path to the file is http://www.wou.edu/president/advancement/smith/documents/SeasonTicketsform2012-13.pdf you will need to save the PDF on the X:drive in the presidents/advancement/smith/documents folder with the name SeasonTicketsform2012-13.pdf A message box will pop up saying "The file SeasonTicketsform2012-13.pdf already exists. Do you want to replace the existing file?" Click "Yes" Then open your browser and refresh the page and the new PDF file should appear.

Calendar Event Lists

If you would like to list events on your website to have them look and feel like WOU's events, here is how you can do it.

You will need to login to ts.wou.edu through Remote Desktop.

Open the page that you would like to add these events too in Dreamweaver.

Select Code view.



I have given 2 separate examples, the first event listed is when the event lasts just one day while the second event goes for multiple dates.


You will notice in the code that there is a separate style being used for the date so that it will be a smaller size.


Copy and paste this code below where you would like the events to show up on the page and change out the blue fields with your event information. 

<span class="header_1">Upcoming Events in University Advancement</span>
  ..........................................................................................................

 <table style="width:700px" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="50" align="left" valign="top" class="dateNum">02
    </td>
    <td width="50" align="left" valign="top">
      <p class="sub_head_1">Jul</p>
      <p>2012</p>
    </td>
    <td align="left" valign="top">
      <p class="sub_head_1">Emeritus Society Meeting</p>
      <p><strong>12:30 p.m.</strong> | Year End Potluck at Gentle House</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td colspan="3">
  ..........................................................................................................
  </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="50" align="left" valign="top" class="HPdateNum_small">12-13</td>
    <td width="50" align="left" valign="top">
      <p class="sub_head_1">Sep</p>
      <p>2012</p>
    </td>
    <td align="left" valign="top">
      <p class="sub_head_1">WOU Retirees Association Trip</p>
      <p>Ashland/Crater Lake</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>


If you want to add more events then you will need to copy and paste the whole <tr> to the ending </tr> making sure you get both the <tr>s including the one with the dotted line. You will want to paste it before the ending </table>


Once you have entered in all your events, then hit save. Go to the page and hit refresh and all your events should be there with the WOU style.

Working with Images in Contribute

Open Contribute and navigate to the page where you would like to add an image. Put the cursor where you would like to insert the image, then click on the "Image" drop down at the top and select "From My Computer"


Navigate to where the image is located on your computer and then hit "Select"


In some cases your image will be too large for the web, so Contribute will automatically size it down for web optimization. Click "OK" if you get that message.


It will ask you to enter in a Description ALT text. This will show up if a person has their images turned off. Click "OK" once you have entered something.


Right click on the image and select "Image Properties"


You can change the size of the image, add extra padding around the image, and align the image. If you would like the text to wrap around the image you would want to align the image either to the Left or the Right. Once you have made the changes you would like click "OK".


You should then see your image take on all those new properties. The image below demonstrates the image aligning to the left so that the text now wraps around it.
