Finding an existing web page
When you are looking to edit existing content on the UniSC website, the Umbraco content tree allows you to navigate to your web pages. You can find a page by navigating through the tree itself if you know where the page is saved.
- Click on the arrow beside the web page in the Content tree to expand the menu
- Select the web page title of the page you wish to edit.
Tip: you can find where a page is located by checking the page URL or the breadcrumb on a web page, ie Courses and programs is located under /Study
A quicker way to search across all the content, files, or folders in Umbraco is to click the Magnifier icon in the top-right of the screen. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + SPACE to access the Search bar.
Using the search bar, you can enter a search term and Umbraco will search for pages and media containing the term.
Working with the Rich Text Editor (RTE)
The following editor buttons are available in the toolbar of the Rich Text Editor, you can hover over each tool icon to see what they are called.
- Source code: to view in HTML mode, you can check the code and make adjustments to display the page correctly or remove unwanted code.
- Clear formatting: if your text looks a bit wonky and you think it might be because the content was pasted from a word document - select all your text and click this icon - it will remove any rogue styles.
- Undo, cut and copy: these do just what you would expect them to do, no surprises here! But very convenient.
- Formats: apply formatting via the Formats dropdown list. Use these options to add a heading style or change a link into a call-to-action button.
- Bullet-point and numbered lists
- Insert/Edit Link: add a hyperlink to an internal web page, external website, media file, email address or anchor.
- Remove Link: use this tool to remove a hyperlink.
- Anchor: an anchor allows you to create internal page links that enable users to navigate within a page.
- Image Picker: add an image from the Media gallery
- Insert Block: this one is super-special! You can use this to add a Staff List, Multi content, a Form or a Sidebar widget directly in the RTE!
- Table: insert a table - further instructions below.
- Embed: add a video housed in either YouTube or Vimeo.
- Horizontal rule: add a thin line that goes the width of the RTE.
- Subscript and Superscript: this one is pretty self explanatory (little text higher or lower than what's around it).
- Special character: use this to find all the weird and wonderful science and maths symbols (that you secretly hope you will never need to use)
Tables
Tables are used to format information in a grid based structure. When you insert a table, you select how many rows and columns the table should comprise of, as well as fill in a number of additional optional formatting properties.
