ATLAS Web Framework – Fancy Page
How to add a Fancy Page in the ATLAS Web Framework
Fancy page is the more advanced version of Basic Page. It gives you more options to style and arrange content on the page. It also includes a photo gallery feature.
Adding a New Fancy Page
You must be logged in as an Editor role or higher to add Fancy Pages
- Under the Manage menu at the top of your page, click the Content option
- Click the blue + Add Content button just below the content heading
- Click Fancy Page on the list of available Content Types
- Complete the following fields:
- Title – The Title will appear at the top of your page in large text. The title in particular will also be picked up by Search Engines so choose a title that accurately describes your page.
- Paragraph – In this section you can choose one or more Paragraph types to add to your page. Each type is described below.
- Menu Settings – At the bottom of the form, you will see a special section for additional options. Click the Menu Settings option and check the Provide a Menu Link box to add this page to the menu structure. There are several fields:
- Menu Link Title - This is the name that will be shown in the menu. Leave it blank to use the title of the page or put in a custom menu title.
- Description - This text will show when the user hovers the mouse over the menu option. It's particularly useful if there are several options that may confuse the user.
- Parent Item - This is the most important field. It controls where your page will sit in the menu. There are several main sections in your site that will show in this list surrounded by brackets (<Site Section>). Below that you will see other pages that have been added. Choose the item that will contain your new page. In the image shown here, the user has selected Anthropology Major which means this new page will be shown under the Anthropology Major page in the Undergraduate Programs section of the Academics section and alongside the Archaeology Concentration, General Anthropology, and others.
- Click the Preview button to see what your page will look like:
- Click the Back to Content Editing button at the top of the page to come back to make changes or save your page
