'''''Older done to dos''' are [[Sagamore online history#Website]]'' |
|||
==How To== |
|||
===Link to the newsletter=== |
|||
The most recent weekly Wildcat Update Newsletter should be linked from the [http://sagamorehillspta.org/ Sagamore PTA homepage]. |
|||
Two methods are listed below, in order of preference. There are two because sometimes only one of the two will work. |
|||
====Method 1==== |
|||
# From an email newsletter, copy the link from, "Having trouble viewing this email? Click here" |
|||
# Use the first part of the link (with the <code>ca</code> parameter (the <code>c</code> and <code>cc</code> parameters are not wanted)). For example: |
|||
#: <code>'''<nowiki>http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=bc3db49d-a82b-402d-8845-75ee3de7475e</nowiki>'''&c=cc737c60-de1b-11e2-93b0-d4ae528440e0&ch=cc763b80-de1b-11e2-93b0-d4ae528440e0</code> |
|||
====Method 2==== |
|||
# Login to the [[Sagamore Hills online#Constant Contact|PTA Constant Contact account]] |
|||
# Find the Email Details page of the email (newsletter) to link to (in Recent Work, or Email) |
|||
# Under Social Sharing, select Simple Share, and find the URL (something like: <code><nowiki>http://conta.cc/UPZ93d</nowiki></code>) |
|||
===Show discussion=== |
|||
To show current action from the [[Sagamore PTA discussion groups]] on the website, display the groups' syndication feed: |
|||
# Collect [https://groups.google.com/a/sagamorehillspta.org/d/forumsearch all the Sagamore PTA discussion groups]' IDs; they're the unique part in the URL |
|||
# Find the right syndication feed address; they're available from a group's "About" page (e.g. [https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sagamorehillspta.org/d/aboutgroup/garden About Garden]) |
|||
#* https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sagamorehillspta.org/forum/feed/garden/topics/atom.xml?num=15 |
|||
# Aggregate the feeds into one; [http://chimpfeedr.com/ ChimpFeedr] might be good |
|||
#* e.g. http://mix.chimpfeedr.com/ba350-Sagamore-discussion-topics |
|||
# Display the aggregated feed on the website, like with the built-in Wordpress RSS widget. |
|||
==Accounts== |
|||
Several ''accounts'' are associated with managing the website. |
|||
===Wordpress=== |
|||
The Wordpress site can be [http://sagamorehillspta.org/wp-login.php logged into] by a single user, '''<code>admin</code>''', and is assigned the [[Sagamore email|email address <code>communications@sagamorehillspta.org</code>]]. |
|||
The password known to: |
|||
* Anyone who has access to the [[Sagamore Google Drive]] and the Password file there |
|||
* [[Vera Kornylak]] |
|||
===Log=== |
|||
[[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account#Log|The ''log account'']], is used to [http://sagamorehillspta.org/stats view website-access statistics] generated by [http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Analog Dreamhost's Analog]. |
|||
===Server=== |
|||
If you need access to the server files, check out the [[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account#Server|server account]]. |
|||
===Database=== |
|||
Wordpress uses [[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account#Database|a ''database account'']]. |
|||
==Notes== |
|||
* When testing, check out the multiple Wordpress installations available from the [[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account]] like http://test-wordpress.sagamorehillspta.org/ and http://dev1.sagamorehillspta.org/ |
|||
* [https://www.cliffvalley.org/ Cliff Valley] uses [https://www.finalsite.com/ Finalsite] (who provides nice [https://www.finalsite.com/page.cfm?p=779&eid=1180 suggestions for a school's homepage]) |
|||
* A couple site solutions were looked into when [[User:Dave/visit/2014-07 PTA Convention Leadership Training|Dave attended the 2014 Ga PTA CLT#IT_Vendors]] |
|||
==Usage== |
|||
