Pony Club Website Template Admin User Guide page 1

ABOUT YOUR SITE A couple of “fun facts” about the Pony Club website templates:

Space per site is 500 mg (including all uploaded images and documents).

The club/center/region name pulls from the National Database.

The sign in credentials for any pages created for your site that were set for restricted access are the same as for the main Pony Club site.

If you’re signed in at your site and then visit the main Pony Club site, you will not need to log in again – and vice versa.

The menu bar items are not editable, BUT you do have access to “hide” some of the template created pages and redirect certain menu items to other sites/pages you are using.

You may create pages specifically for your site and assign them to display as part of the dropdown menu for one or more of the menu bar items.

Clicking on your site’s logo will bring you back to your site’s home page.

Clicking on “Where It All Begins” in the footer will bring up the main Pony Club website.

ACCESS

If you are a DC, JTDC, CA, ACA, RS, VRS, or have been appointed the Webmaster and you are signed into

the site, you will see a link in the upper left hand corner to access the Admin Menu of the site.

Username and Password for the template site is the SAME as for the main Pony Club site.

ADMIN MENU

The Admin Menu is organized into various task topic sections. Access the section by clicking on on the

appropraite link.


ADD A NEW PAGE

When you click on Add New Page, you will be immediately taken to a screen to set up your page.

1. Add your Page Title in the field

provided. Any text entered here

will be formatted in the same

manner as the rest of the page

titles in the site.

2. Enter in your content into the Page

Content section. Text, tables,

pictures, links to other sites and

documents can all be entered here.

NOTE: See the Content Editor User Guide

for directions on using the tools found on

the content editor tool bar.

3. You can mark the page to be

accessed only if the user is signed

in.

4. You can mark for the page to be

“inactive.” Inactive pages will not

be accessible outside of the admin

section.

5. You may assign the page to be displayed and accessed under a menu item(s).

NOTE: You do NOT need to assign the page to a menu item. An address will be created for the page

allowing you to link directly to it from another page or site. You can retrieve that link after saving the

new page and then accessing it through the Manage Pages section.

6. Click the blue “Save Page” button

MANAGE PAGES (and FOOTER)

This section lists the pages of the site that you

create (left side) or that were already created

as part of the template (right side).

By clicking on the page name link, you can

access the editable content area(s) of that page

to add or edit text, pictures, links to documents

etc.


Manage Added Pages

HINT: Use the “Menu Item” dropdown selection to narrow

down the list of pages you have created to just the pages

that have been assigned to a specific menu bar item.

Once in a page added by your club/center/region

you can:

1. At the top is the URL for the page, which

gives you the ability to link to the page

from other pages or send the address out

for others to access the page directly.

2. Edit the page title and content.

3. Adjust the sign in requirement and status

of the page.

4. Change which if any of the menu items the

page displays under in the menu bar.

NOTE: See the Content Editor User Guide for directions on using the tools found on the content editor

tool bar.

Manage Created Pages and Footer

There are areas in each of the pages that were

created as part of template where you may

add content that is specfic to your

club/center/ region. In addition, through any

of these created pages, you may add footer

content to your site.

To access these editiable content areas, click

on the page name in the listing to the far right

in the Manage Pages Admin Section.

The page will pull up, and the area(s) on the

page to which you may add content (text,

pictures, links, etc.) will be indicated with the

”edit” pencil icon.


Clicking on the icon will bring you to the content screen for that

section.

NOTE: See the Content Editor User Guide for directions on using

the tools found on the content editor tool bar.

Click the blue ”Save Content” button to save the changes. Once saved the content added/updated will appear on the page.

File Browser – Documents & Pictures Your Content Editor allows for documents and images to be uploaded to your site allowing you to add pictures or link to documents on your web pages. The file browser for documents and images are SEPARATE. Documents and images are not kept together. However, the file browser functionality for each is the same. Access to the file browser is available when IN the editable content area of a page. On the content editor

tool bar, click on the “link” icon to work with documents or the “image” icon to work with pictures.

In the File Browser, you may create folders to help organize your documents and files. A few things to note:

1. You may create as many folders as you like.

2. You may create folders within folders. HOWEVER,

this does make the address link to the

document/image longer. Just keep that in mind.

3. Folder names must be URL friendly, containing only

letters, numbers, dashes and hyphens.

4. Changing the name of a folder will break the links to all the files in it. You will need to redo all the

links on the pages that had documents/images in that folder.

5. Changing the name of a file in a folder will break the link(s) to that document/

image. You will need to redo the link(s) on the pages that had that document/image.

6. Keep your folders “clean.” Once a document or image is no longer going to be on

your site, when you remove the document/image on the PAGE, remember to visit

the FILE BROWSER and delete the document/image from there as well. This will

make it easier for you to find the documents and images that you do need!

Click on the file/image to link to/insert it on a page. Click on the pencil icon to edit the file/image name.

Click on the red minus icon to delete the document/image. NOTE: See the Content Editor User Guide for

additional directions on using the file browser.


ADD CALENDAR EVENT

NOTE: If you already utilize a different calendar site and wish to continue with it, in the Manage Menu

section you can direct your calendar menu item links to be directed to the other calendar site. You do

NOT have to use the calendar provided on the template.

When you click on Add Calendar Event, you will be immediately taken to a screen to set up your event.

1. Enter in the event/activity name, so it

will display on the calendar.

2. Enter in all known information for the

time and location. These fields are not

required, allowing you to enter in just

the information that is relevant to the

specific event.

3. If desired, choose a category(ies) for the

event. Visitors to your calendar page

can filter the calendar events by these

categories.

4. Enter in a description of the event and

add any other additional information

needed/desired. You may add pictures

and link to documents related to the

event as well.

5. If you enter in contact information it will

show at the bottom of the calendar

event details screen for visitors to

locate.

6. Click the blue “Save Event” button.

MANAGE CALENDAR

When you visit the Manage Calendar

section, the events listed will be for All

Categories for the current Month and

Year. Use the filters to find any event that

does not match the default filter setting.

Click on the event you would like to edit.


Make changes or additions to any of the fields or

the event description as needed.

At the bottom of the page, you can choose to

delete the event.

Click the blue “Save Event” button to save any

changes made.

SOCIAL MEDIA SETTINGS

If your club/center/region has its own

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or

Instagram page, you may enter the

address here. The appropriate

buttons on the home page will then

direct to it. If nothing is entered, then

the links go to the USPC pages for

those sites.

To add a social media site:

1. Copy the address of the social

media main page.

2. Paste in (or type in starting

with the http) the address

into the appropriate field.

MANAGE MENU

Here you can:

1. Remove any added pages you

have created and assigned to a

menu item’s dropdown.

NOTE: Removing them from being

available under a menu item does not

delete the page.

2. Hide created template pages that

your club/center/region does not

use, like classifieds or member

notices page.

3. Redirect the calendar, classifieds,

and support menu items to

another site that you are utilizing

already for those pages.

NOTE: After making a change, be sure to click the blue “Save Settings” button.

UPDATE HOME PAGE LOGO

This is where you can upload your

club/center/region logo.

The space size for the logo area is 300 px

square. Larger photos will automatically

be resized to fit the area. Smaller images

will display as their true size on the home

page.

To change the logo:

1. Click on “Choose File”

2. Find the image in your computer.

3. Select the image and click “Open” (Note: You won’t really be opening the image.).

4. Click the blue “Upload Logo” button.
