This documentation has not been updated since the addition of new functionality for your front page/homepage (May 2021).
As a webmaster (also called administrator member), you are capable of creating, editing, and managing your site, its content, files, and online members.
Read through this guide to learn more about the buttons and menus you have access to once you login as a webmaster. For additional resources , see the list at the bottom of this page.
This on-going process refers to the changes you make to content, from draft to published to draft and so on. Revisions happen each time the edits to a content item are saved, whether that is in draft or published mode. Read more about this process .
The Administrator League menu offers links to create new content—just click any of the Add … (i.e. Add Page, Add Form, etc.) links to get started. This same menu offers site management tools, like Manage Content where you can manage any content item within your site, draft or published.
The webmaster tabs are key to the content moderation process. To make a revision, access a content item’s editing form by using either the Edit draft tab or New draft tab. To view the moderation notes left behind for each revision of that content item, select the Moderate tab.
Aside from the content types available with your site, there are five webpages that are better known as dynamic views . A dynamic view is a predefined list of content that is continuously changing. Dynamic views are not editable so they do not offer the webmaster tabs . They will only be updated as you save published content. While viewing a dynamic view, you can manage the content in the list by accessing the context menus .
Most of these dynamic views first list your own League's content, then subscribed content underneath that. The Calendar lists all events (subscribed and your own) together in order of event date. Members-Only firstly lists private events, followed by any other private content types (all must be published, but marked private ).
These dynamic views cannot be directly edited as you would with any content . Instead, you have access to your League Custom View Headers that allow you to edit the section directly above these dynamic views.
PRO-TIP: Because these dynamic views are system-generated based on the URL path, do not create or rename any Pages with these exact titles. Doing so creates a 'path alias' conflict where the system will show your Page instead of the original automated list(s).
Aside from those 5 above, your site is also able to generate the following special dynamic views. Like any dynamic view, these are not directly editable. Use the context menus where available or Manage Content .
As you publish certain content types, you'll see that content appear on the corresponding dynamic view. For example, published events appear on the Calendar while any published slideshow items will appear in the homepage slideshow.
This is the webmaster's menu, with all links to create new content and links to management lists. This menu is only available on your League landing page and any of the five dynamic views .
These links to create new content are located below the four management links . Just click any of the Add … (i.e. Add Position, Add Event, etc.) links to get started. By clicking one of the Add … links, you will start out with the editing form for that content type. Once ready, you must save it to be presented with the webmaster tabs at the top of the page.
Read about these content types to learn more about their construction.
The webmaster tabs appear above your content. Use these tabs to simply view or access the back-end of your content. Here are examples of the different sets of webmaster tabs you'll find throughout your site.
**Drafts are only available to authenticated webmasters . Both draft tabs will take you to the editing form for that particular content item.
These tabs are not available across all content types:
Access the context menus anywhere that the cog/gear appears when hovering over most objects, only while in view mode. The context menus offer additional ways to edit or manage content or menus, all while viewing your site.
Many elements across your site offer a context menu. You can find any context menu available by hovering over the appropriate section of your website and clicking on the gear icon that appears in the top-right corner (while logged in only).
Example from League landing page:
Example from League Calendar:
Example from League Members-Only:
Create an exact copy of a published content item. If no published version is available, then the most recent draft will be cloned. Content that can be cloned includes action alerts, articles, events, pages, positions, and webforms . All of the original content's settings will be intact but you can make any changes before you first save the clone from its editing form .
The only requirement before you can clone content is that you must be listed as that content's author . Follow this guide to change the author for select content items.
Locate the content item in the list then select the clone link under Operations.
While in view mode (view draft or view published), the link to clone is located under the webmaster tabs.
While on any page with a dynamic view , you can access the context menu for those content items. Just hover your mouse over that content item, click the cog/gear to open the context menu, then select the last option: Clone .
There are several content types included in the MyLO system. All content types, when adding a new content item, require a title to then create the URL/path as its address and o nce saved, they offer their own set of webmaster tabs . These content types include:
