  • All landing pages must have the Title field completed and an H1 Header paragraph block added at the top of the page. Adding those should always be your first step in creating a new landing page.

  • Add new paragraph blocks by choosing the paragraph block you want from the Paragraph type dropdown, then selecting Add Paragraph. Reference our sample paragraph blocks.

  • Not all paragraph blocks use the same fields; some have image options while others allow for text and links. Use the paragraph blocks that meet your style and content needs.

  • Different paragraph blocks have different requirements; you must complete all required fields to save or preview a page.

  • Some paragraph blocks have multiple sections that can be added. For those, an additional button will appear that allows you to add more sections; some paragraph blocks have a required number of sections you must add to save the page.

  • Reorder paragraph blocks by selecting and dragging the crosshairs to the left of each paragraph block.

  • Delete paragraph blocks by selecting the drop-down arrow to the right of the paragraph block (next to where it says Collapse or Edit and choosing Remove). Confirm your choice.

titleRestricted paragraphsParagraphs

There are some paragraph blocks that show up as an option to use, but they are tied to a content type that might not be active on your site. As such, you will get an error when trying to add them. Unless told otherwise, do not use these paragraph blocks:

  • A Day in the Life: Full Page

  • A Day in the Life: Slider

  • Gallery: Featured Groups

  • Gallery: Featured Items Slider

  • Rich text editor (use the Text: 1 Column instead)

  • Views Reference

titleCloning a Landing Page

After a page has been saved, you can "clone" it to copy the page. This is helpful if you like the basic style of the page you just made, and want to reuse the same blocks (with new content, of course).

To clone a page, select "Clone" to the right of the "Edit" tab for a page. You will only have access to this option after a page is saved. 

The page it takes you to will look identical to your current page. However, when you save it, it will be a new copy. As such make sure to change the page title before selecting save. 

Page Statuses and What They

Landing pages have different statuses, which impact who can view and interact with these pages. Additionally, you will have different publishing abilities depending on your role in your site:

titleStep 1: Establish your galleryGallery

Only Specialty Content Managers can make Gallery and Portfolio content. The Web Communications Team works directly with sites to establish this content type; if you're interested in establishing a gallery on your site, please reach out to help-webteam@pdx.edu so we can discuss if this is a good solution for your content.

After making arrangements with the Web Communications Team, your Site Owner can change the title of the gallery page, which can be viewed at pdx.edu/site-name/gallery. Please note: this does not change the URL of the Gallery page, just the title that displays at the top of the page.

titleStep 2: Create a groupGroup

Since each item is associated with its respective group, you have to make your groups before you make your items.

To make your group:

  1. Using the Administrative Menu, add a Gallery Group ("Content" ￫ "Add Content" ￫ "Gallery: Group")

  2. The fields to complete are:

    • Group Title: The group name, it will be visible to the public. This is also used when creating items for this group, so remember the group title

    • First Section Title: Heading that displays in the top of the right sidebar of every item in this group. 

    • First Section Content: Paragraph text that will display directly beneath the First Section Title in the right sidebar of every item in this group. 

    • Second Section Title: Heading that displays below the First Section Content in the right sidebar of every item in this group. 

    • Second Section Content: Paragraph text that will display directly beneath the Second Section Title in the right sidebar of every item in this group. 

    • Featured Image: The thumbnail image that will display when viewing the group in the overarching gallery or if it’s included in a Featured Groups block

    • Gallery Group featured tag: An OPTIONAL tag used to curate specific groups to feature on your site. If you’re using this feature, the tag has to be created before adding it to a group ("Structure" ￫ "Taxonomy" ￫ "Portfolio Class Featured Tag"). You can add multiple tags by separating them with commas.

  3. Check the Published box.

  4. Save your group.

titleStep 3: Create a group itemGroup Item

After your group has been created, you can start creating items to add to that group.

To create an item:

  1. Using the Administrative Menu, add a Gallery Group Item ("Content" ￫ "Add Content" ￫ "Gallery Group Item")

  2. The fields to complete are:

    • Item Title: This is the page title

    • Item Subtitle: Displays beneath the page title on the item page. In the Gallery Group page (where it shows all the items in the group), it displays above the page title for this item's thumbnail. 

    • Group Title: Start typing in the name of the group you want this item associated with - the names of existing groups will auto-populate for you to select from

    • Date: An optional field if you want a specific date associated with the item.

    • Term: A required field that displays on the item page.

    • Content Title: Heading that displays directly above the Item Content text.

    • Item Content: Paragraph text that is specific to this item; displays directly below the Content Title. 

    • Image: Select one or more images to represent this item. If more than one is selected, the images will display as a carousel. You must also add caption information to each image. Important: check "Featured Image" to select which image will display as the primary thumbnail for this item.

    • Featured Item Tags: Tags used to view items from different groups with similar topics, or used to feature particular items based on topic. These tags must be created prior to adding them to your items - instructions are in "Step 4 - Create an item tag". To add more than one tag, select “Add another item” under this field. You can save the item prior to adding tags to it.

  3. Check the Published box.

  4. Save your item.

titleStep 4: Create an item tagItem Tag

Each item should have one or more tags associated with it. This is separate from the groups in that these tags are topical and used to help visitors find projects from different groups that have similar topics.

This is an area where you’ll want to consider strategy. Tags should not be so granular in topic that only one or two items will apply to them. Rather, you’ll want general tags that many items can be associated with. Suggestions for terms include: “Piano”, “Mixed Media”, “Award Winners”, or “Senior Projects”.

To view existing terms and create a new one:

  1. Using the Administrative Menu, view the Gallery Item Tags ("Structure" ￫ "Taxonomy" ￫ "Portfolio Project Tags")

  2. Review the existing terms to determine if something new is needed for the items you’re planning on creating. If so, then select “Add term” to create a new term.

  3. The fields to complete are:

    • Name: The name of this tag. It will be visible to the public, so should be clear, concise, and topic-based.

    • None of the other fields need to be completed.

  4. Save the term and add it to the appropriate Portfolio Project Items.

The URL for the page is pdx.edu/SITE/items-for-sale (replace SITE with your site’s URL).

titleHow to make Make an item Item for sale pageSale Page

There are two main steps to making an item for sale page: building the taxonomy and making the page.

Step 1: Apply item for sale taxonomy

Taxonomy is the list of terms (tags) visitors use to filter your item for sale pages. Follow these instructions to create new taxonomy terms:

  1. Use the admin menu to navigate to “Structure ￫ Taxonomy ￫ Item for sale type”

  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:

    • Each item can only have one associated term.

    • 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 pages; the best practice is to have no more than 10-15 terms.

  5. Save the term

Step 2: Make the item for sale page

  1. Use the admin menu to navigate to “Content ￫ Add Content ￫ Item for sale"

  2. Complete the form
