Create pages to build the structure of your site. It's best to develop your site structure first: add most of your pages and then add content to those pages.

Note: if you have a large set of items to add, contact the administrator to discuss importing those items in a single batch.

• Managing Pages
  1. From the left menu bar click Pages.
  2. Each new site comes with a Welcome page.
     • You may edit or remove this page and add as many additional pages as needed.
     • Click the trashcan icon to delete a page.
  3. When your site and item set are set to private, other Omeka S users at Oklahoma State will not be able to see your pages.
     • The eye icon with a slash through it indicates that your page is private.
     • If your entire site is set to private (this is the default for new sites), even your public pages (those without an eye icon) will not be visible to other non-admin users or the public.
     • See Edit a Page below to change a page's privacy setting.
  4. Clicking the page title will go to the published version of the page.
  5. Clicking the pencil icon will go to the page editor.
• Add a New Page
  1. From Pages, in the upper right corner, click Add new page.
     •  Enter the page title.
     •  Leave the URL slug blank. This is the last part of the URL for the page -- it will be created automatically from the title.
     • Check the box next to Add to navigation.
     • In the upper right corner click Add.
  2. At this point you can add content blocks to your new page, but it's a better idea to first create all of your pages, then come back to build the content within each page. 
     • In the upper right corner click Cancel. This will return you to step 1 above (Add a new page).
     • Repeat steps 1 and 2, adding new pages until you have built out the basic structure of your site.
• Edit a Page
  1. From the left menu bar click Pages to view a list of the pages you have created.
  2. Click the pencil icon to the right of a page to edit it.
  3. The Page title block is added automatically. If you don't want the title to appear on the page, click the trashcan icon to remove this block.
  4. To add a new block, on the right, click the plus icon next to a content block. The next section covers the details of content blocks. Here are brief descriptions of some of the most common content blocks:

     HTML

     Type in the text editor or click <>Source to add html code.

     Media Embed

     Add an image, youtube video, or any other item to a page.

     Item Showcase

     Another way to add an image or item to a page.

     Map by query

     Create a map and/or timeline from the locations/dates associated with your items.

     Item Carousel

     Also known as a "slider" or "slideshow," a way to browse through a set of several images.

     Browse Preview

     This will create a grid of items based on the options you select in the block.

  5. Click Save in the upper right corner before navigating away from the page.
• Reorder Pages
  1. From the left menu bar click Navigation to manage how pages will appear in the site's navigation menu.
  2. Click and drag the title of a page over the name of another page.
  3. An arrow will appear showing where you are moving the page: before or after another page, or if the arrow is pointing right at a page title, it will become a child page, nested under that page.
