Uploading Worship Materials
The Caravel content management system on Mennonite.net makes it easy to make regular uploads of new material onto your website. Many churches will make this a weekly habit to upload the latest worship bulletin and/or newsletter and sermon notes from the pastor's message. This article (cworshipinfo.html) gives you information on a standard template for this purpose. When this content block containing the article is no longer needed, it can be deleted; however, the article can still be found and referenced in the HTML folder in File Manager. This page, the Worship Tab on your site, has three pages underneath it: Bulletins Newsletters Sermons By clicking on these three links in turn, you can go to that page and modify and customize the page to your likings and needs. Each of the three pages has a similar default setting. The page has been divided into two columns using the Add Column command on the Page menu on the Edit Page bar at the top. In the right hand column, a block has been created using the Open Folder application. The settings have been adjusted so that in the appropriate folder only the latest file added shows up in the block. The only file currently in the block is the instruction file. However, as soon as a new file is added, that file displayed on this part of the page. In the left hand column, another block has been created using the Open Folder application. This time, however, the settings call for a list of links for the last 10 files uploaded. So each time a new file is added, it not only shows up directly in the right hand column but a link is also added in the left hand column to a list of links already generated for the previous files. (The default is set to 10, but this can be changed as desired.) In this way, someone who wants to see a previous file can simply click on the appropriate link. It should be noted that the Folder application is very powerful and can be adjusted in many ways to show the files or links you want displayed. In order to show up directly on the page, these files need to be saved in Rich Text Format (.RTF) which any good word processor can read or write. Files which do not need to show up directly on the page can be left in Microsoft Word (.DOC) format or converted to Portable Document Format (.PDF) which can be read by the free Adobe Reader. When users click on these links, the files will pop up on screens if they have the proper reader installed. Help files for Caravel can be accessed via the Help icon on each page or by going to www.caravelcms.org. |
