Funeral Home Web Sites
Administrative Back-end
Select Community Page to Edit
The dynamic Community Page was developed to allow your funeral home to have a community page that can be maintained on-line by the funeral home. Although we call such pages community pages you can use the pages for any purpose. A funeral home may have as many as three community pages.
Select Community Page to Edit produces a page that looks like the one below. A web site with more than one community page would have two or three groups of links.
There are four versions of each dynamic page: the working page, the povisional, the old and older. When you select one of the versions of the page, that version is copied to the provisional page, and you then will be able to edit the provisional page.
Each of the Community Pages are created by adding sections containing pictures and text. Each section may contain one picture, a title, regualar text and caption text. The caption is not used when rendering the page.
We use the terms section and paragraph intercahngable despite the fact that the sections contain more than a conventional paragraph in English.
The following screen is displayed when you first edit a Community Page. At that time there are no paragraphs, so the only options are to add a new paragraph or to return to the main menu.
Click on Insert New Paragraph to produce a form similar to the one shown below.
The form you receive after creating a new section will not contain the Thumbnail field, since no picture has been loaded at that time. Each paragraph you create will be listed on the same page, so a page could contain several forms that look like the one shown above.
Enter a picture by clicking on the Browse button in the form. Navigate through the directories on your local
computer to the picture you want to upload, and select that image. Then click on the Update this section button. The screen will be redrawn and you will see the image you have uploaded in the Thumbnail field.
You may add as many sections (with or without pictures) as you want.
There are two Insert New Paragraph buttons, one above the section and one below it. Click on the first one to insert a new section above the paragraph and click on the second one to create a new paragraph after the one you are looking at. You also may delete the paragraph by clicking on the Delete preceeding section button.
Images All images must either be JPG or GIF files. The maximum size of an image is about 50 kB which is large enough for any image. Your images should be smaller than that so that users do not experience long download times.
The physical size of the images should be no wider than about 350 pixels and no higher than about 300 pixels. These sizes will produce an attractively formatted page. The size that can be used is dependant upon the exact layout of your web site, so you may be able to user somewhat larger
images or may be restricted to slightly smaller images.
Other Fields The fields starting with Images (the select drop down list that includes Keep Only Fulls Size Image) are not used when rendering the resumes and should not be changed.
