Overview

Occasionally we'll receive requests to create a special section of a website. Sometimes the request is for a conference, sometimes another smaller site (like study abroad programs) that was absorbed into the larger one. This collection of documents will show you how to create a special section of your site. If you like, it can have a banner image, custom menu header, and its own news, events.

A

Word of

Caution

These are intermediate to advanced topics for our content editors. If you want to "practice" before you try any of the below steps on your live site, we recommend doing so on the "staging" server. This is where a copy of your site is kept for testing purposes. If you need help locating the staging copy of your site, please put in a helpdesk ticket via helpdesk.franklin.uga.edu.

For help with the basics, please see our extensive self-help documentation under Drupal Support. If after reading through the documentation you need extra help or run into issues, please put in a ticket.

We'll show you how to create a special section for your website through the example of a conference. You don't need to go through all the parts. For example, you may just decide to do part one, creating the section, and part three, creating a special menu block that has a custom title.
