Instructions for the editors of EFFI’s Drupal CMS

Instructions in using EFFI’s Drupal CMS
=======================================

General
——-
Drupal is rather fond of using browser caches. For site visitors this is a big benefit, but for editors and authors this might seem a little frustrating. Refreshing the screen with the reload buttong (F5 or CTRL-R) is a good idea, when you feel that the stuff you are reading is not up-to-date.

Support requests and bug reports are best sent vial the `EFFICMS project page `_. You can also ask for help by `emailing the webmaster `_.

Users
—–
There are 4 user access levels (= roles) at the moment:
– Authenticated user = Can read and comment on drafts, but cannot create or edit anything
– Vieraskynä = Can write blog entries, but nothing else
– Editor = Full access to content
– Administrator = Full access to everything, including user management

Publishing
———-
A page/article (Node in Drupal jargon) is published by selecting “published”. To the current web pages it can be taken (with a delay of max 30 seconds) by checking “Promoted to front page”

Node types
———-

When you create a node, selecting its type is important. The types are, in order of importance:

page
Most flexible (and complex) content type.

Features: summary field, published by default (not on front page), version control, attachment files

**NOTE:** Unlike other node types, the title of a page is *NOT* automatically appended
to the body, but instead it is assumed to be written in the body. (Like e.g. in **a press release**).
Even though the title is shown twice in *preview*, after publishing it behaves like this.

blog article
Quite self-descriptive. Short article

Features: summary field, published by default AND on the front page. Attachment files. No version control

**NOTE:** The author and the date is shown automatically after the title. Nodes in this category
are autoaliased as ‘blog/YYYY-MM-DD-.html’.

image
A picture can be published as is on its own page (rarely), or it can be attached to other nodes.

Features: none

news flash
Not surprisingly, fit for publishing news.

Features: Like *a blog article*.

**NOTE:** The author and the date are *not* shown after the title. Nodes in this category are
autoaliased as ‘uutiset/YYMMDD-
