Website Admin Manual

This page is for Admins only

After logged in, Visit Dashboard to manage Users, Posts, Pages, Comments, Upload Files, Calendar and Gallery.

Users

The system classifies 5 levels of users and anonymous visitor. I plan to use:

Anonymous Visitor: Can visit most pages except user-only pages. Can register and wait for Admin’s acceptance.

Subscriber: Can visit all pages and comment. (Maybe we can combine this level into Author)

Author: Can visit all pages and comment. Can upload file. Can write Posts which shows up in homepage. Can not edit other Author’s Posts.

Admin: Can visit, edit all contents. Create new users. Modify site settings.

Posts and Pages

Post is news entry which will be outdated shortly. It shows in the homepage and archive pages. Page is “static page”. For example, “History/Legacy”, “Athlete Profiles” are Pages. You can edit any of them. category.GIF

When writing Post, you can select a Category. A post belonging to “index” Category will be listed in homepage.

By default, Posts and Pages can be accessible by any visitors.
Not sure if this is needed: (If you add “More” tag More in the article, this article will become user-only page, then visitors must register or log in to read the content.)

Comments

Registered user can comment on any post. Admin will get an email notification, and he can delete or edit comments.

Upload Files

Users can upload file when writing a post and add the link into the post. Admin can visit “Manage”->”Uploads” to delete files.

Calendar

In “Manage”->”Calendar” Admin can add new events, then the event will show up in calendar. When Calendar ID equals to 0(zero), the event is for Competition Calendar which is accessible by every visitors. When Calendar ID equals to 1(one), the event is for Training Opportunity & Logistic Calendar which is user-access only.

Gallery

Gallery’s management is a little bit complicate. We want to sort photos by season and then by event.
First, you can create a gallery and upload photos. For example, all photos in 2007 Canadian Championships are uploaded into this gallery.

Second, go to “Gallery”->”Album” to add this gallery into a “Season 2007″ Album. An Album can have several galleries.

Third, If this is a new album, add this album into “gallery” page. Go to “Manage”->”Page”, locate “Photo Gallery” page and click “Edit”. Because “Season 2007″ Album has Album ID=1, we add

[ album id=1 template=compact ]

into the page.

Athelete Blog

After registered, every user has a unique username, and the posts of each user can be found at

http://www.rmracers.ca/author/*username* 

So we need to edit Athlete Blogs page to add new users into blog list.
