Step 1: Make a blog taxonomy

The blog taxonomy is the list of terms (tags) visitors use to filter your blog articles. Follow these instructions to create new taxonomy terms:

1. Use the admin menu to navigate to “Structure ￫ Taxonomy ￫ Blog Article Tags”

2. Review the existing terms to verify there isn’t a functionally identical term available.

   • If there is, use that term or edit it as needed.

3. Select "Add Term". 

4. Enter the name for the term; ignore the other sections of the form. A few notes:

   • Use uniform capitalization methods for all your terms (i.e. sentence case, title case, etc).

   • Only create new terms that are general enough to apply to multiple blogs; best practice is to have no more than 10-15 terms.

5. Save the term

Step 2: Make a blog article

There are two main steps to making a campus building page: building the taxonomy and making the page.

Step 1: Apply campus building taxonomy

Taxonomy is the list of terms (tags) visitors use to filter your campus building pages. There are two taxonomies used for the campus buildings pages: Facility Features and Department. Follow these instructions to create new taxonomy terms:

1. Use the admin menu to navigate to one of the following:

   • Structure ￫ Taxonomy ￫ Campus Building - Department

   • Structure ￫ Taxonomy ￫ Campus Building - Facility Features

2. Review the existing terms to verify there isn’t a functionally identical term available.

   • If there is, use that term or edit it as needed.

3. Select Add Term. 

4. Enter the name for the term; ignore the other sections of the form. A few notes:

   • Use uniform capitalization methods for all your terms (i.e. sentence case, title case, etc).

   • For facility features, only create new terms that are general enough to apply to multiple pages; best practice is to have no more than 10-15 terms.

5. Save the term.

Step 2: Make the campus buildings page

1. Use the admin menu to navigate to Content ￫ Add Content ￫ Campus Building.

2. Complete the form.

3. Check the Published box at the bottom of the page

4. Save the page.

Form Fields

Name: The actual name of the building. There is a separate section for the building code, so this should be the actual name (such as "Richard and Maurine Neuberger Center"). 

Address: This appears above the map. Hint: This displays the exact text you enter, so plan ahead of time how you want addresses to appear (just street address vs. street, city vs street, city, state, etc).  

Image: Select Add Media to select an image to add. Review the images documentation for more information. 

Building Location: In the Enter a location text box, start typing an address. Keep typing until the correct one appears, then select that address. 

About the Building: This is a basic text entry field with "About the Building" as a visible title. Plan ahead of time what kind of content you want in this area. 

Building Occupants: This is a basic text entry field with "Building Occupants" as a visible title. The planned design just listed occupants with each one linked to the department's site. It will likely duplicate the Campus Building - Department taxonomy for this page. 

Building Features: This is a basic text entry field with "Building Features" as a visible title. The content will be similar to the Campus Building - Facility Features taxonomy for this page. Plan ahead of time what kind of content you want in this area and how descriptive you would like to be. 

Building Maps: These are PDFs of floorplans and other relevant internal maps. You can add more than one (once you add one, the option to add another appears). Hint: The title of the uploaded document is what displays for visitors. As such, you want to make sure the title of the uploaded document is user-friendly (i.e. Floorplan-SMSU is better than SMSU-All Plans_6). 

Building Details: This is a basic text entry field with "Building Details" as a visible title. Plan ahead of time what kind of content you want in this area. 

Building Code: The actual building code (i.e. RMNC). This is used in the search and filtering area; it is not visible on the page itself. 

Department: This pulls from the Campus Building - Department taxonomy. Start typing a taxonomy term (it has to have already been made), and a list of options will appear. This does not actually display on the page itself, it's only used in search and filtering. 

Facility Features: This pulls from the Campus Building - Facility Features taxonomy. Start typing a taxonomy term (it has to have already been made), and a list of options will appear. This does not actually display on the page itself, it's only used in search and filtering.
