Instructions for network editors

Networks can have one editor login each.

The website uses WordPress (WP) for managing content. Once we have your registration and have set up your WP editor access, you will receive and email from the system asking you to reset your password.

Email us at web(at)easaonline.org if you have registered but not received this email within two working days.

If you have not yet registered as editor, please do so here:

Once logged in, you will see the content  types which you can add using the +New link: Posts, Events and Publications.

To edit existing content, use the left admin menu. To edit your network’s page, which contains the logo, intro text and convenors, go to Pages.

This is the only page you are able to edit. (See below for adding and editing other types of content: posts, events and publications)

Try out the icons which have been highlighted in the screenshot – add block, document overview and view in browser. Note the main body text where you can add or remove text, as well as the Network image/logo to the right.

Right click on any block to see options such as DELETE. Save any changes

Wordpress uses the Gutenberg editor. Follow the link below for a beginner’s guide, if needed.

SCROLL DOWN:

Below the intro texts and the network logo described above, the Network edit page has many custom fields where you can enter data such as: Convenors, Other groups (ie board and past convenors), external links and partners. Please scroll down past the text window and study these fields. Some will filter into the Network’s main Home tab, and any people fields (convenors and other groups) will be visible under “Organisation.” See right for an example for how this can display.

We hope these fields are be self-explanatory and we urge you to use them rather than entering their data in free text in the main body. Using the custom fields will aid formatting, and make the info display in the correct places. Custom fields also facilitate indexes, filter and search for  network convenors in the future.

As each convenor has a number of related fields (ie bio, image, urls) it can be a little confusing to navigate these fields.

Where ever a field can have multiple values, please use the blue buttons to add your first value, and then click again to add more.

To remove any of these multi-fields, click the minus icon.

Go to “Add event” in the dashboard. Please add the title for the event, rather than “call for papers”,  as there is a call for contributions field below text which we use to order calls by date.

You can only add events in your own network, so if the event is co-organised by more than one network, please add the event and then drop us a line to web(at)easaonline.org with the url of the event and details of the other networks.

Please check the events page before you add a new event, or use the events search on the same page (search by title). You can also browse your network’s page to see if the event is listed there.

You can add as much data as you would like for events, but please note that the event will not save unless you fill in the date field.

Once you have published your event, you can return to edit or change it to draft.

Note the Series and  categories to the right to see how you can classify the event to help user determine the type of event.

Links to video and audio can be pasted straight into the text editor and will normally embed automoatically, both for posts, events and publications.

Events also have a custom field where you can embed urls, such as Spotify podcasts or Youtube links.

If you have problems with the display of such content, please get in touch to web(at)easaonline.organd we will assist.

Publications should only be added if they are edited, authored or published by EASA members and in the topic of a network. Scroll below the body text window to see custom fields for editors, authors, year, etc

Please try to find a cover image for any publication and add this in the “featured image” field.

Print or digital publications should have an ISSN, ISBN or DOI.

Video and podcasts can also be relevant publications but please add them as events rather than publications, if they have a date, so we can put them in the calendar.

If your publication is a resource such as bibliography or link, it could be more relevant to add as a post with the tag Resource rather than a publication (see below for Resources)

Some network publish resources such as links, academic institutions or bibliographies. Example: ENQA Resources or Econ Resources

Such material should be published as posts and assigned the tag “Resource” in order to be displayed in the Network’s resource tab.

Go to posts > add new > add your title and content and then assign the tag “Resources”.

If the network has newsletters they would like to publish on the site, these will be displayed under the Newsletter tab, as long as these conditions are met:

– Go to dashboard > add post

To display these posts under the Network > Newsletter tag, the tab Newsletter must be assigned.

You can add title, content, and upload any PDFs in the field below the text editor OR link to external PDFs in the external PDF field.

Network may wish to publish content which doesn’t fall into any of the categories above.

Example: ENQA Awards

Such content can be published in the dashboard > add post > adding a post with no tag. This will automatically display as news on the Network’s Home tab (if recent), as well as the Archive tab.
