The intent of these newsletters is to update us all on how to use new Functions of the IFF Site.
Issue #1: Creating a Newsletter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new version of Drupal has a functioning Newsletter tool. Following are the steps for creating a newsletter
To create a new Newsletter,
Under your name, choose "My Workspace"
You will then have a page which has at the top, "Add content"
plus a Dropdown menu: with a list of choices available to you
Choose "Newsletter Issue"
click "add new item"
----
You will then be taken to a new page titled, "Submit Newsletter Issue".
1. Give it a Title.
2. Select which type of page format it will use (generally, use "practitioner")
3. Select the Newsletter Type (generally "IFF Updates")
In the Body,
Enter your text.
Note: Users will receive a simple text version, so be careful!
Remember to add that the respondents will need to login to read your newsletter, and you can provide them a convenient link for logging in by using the %%login_uri
(to go to the site to read this or other Newsletters, please click to log in: %login_uri )
4. Select where the Newsletter will appear on the website using the drop-down options in Menu Settings.
- Select a title (keep it under 24 characters)
- Select a location (all IFF Updates go in one location)
5. Finally, select who will receive the Newsletter (that will be in the next Newsletter)
Thanks,
Rob Black
