Instructions

Creating a Section Front Page

  • Go to Content > Create Content > Section Front Page

  • Add a Title

Info

The title you give this page should match the sub-taxonomy term you added, and the Section should be assigned to the sub-taxonomy as well

  • Select a Section

  • If you would like to add a banner image, select a file you would like to appear and click upload in the Banner Image section

Info

Your banner image must be exactly 1600x225 px.

  • Enter your content into the Body field

  • In the Menu Settings section, select Provide a Menu Link

  • Provide a Description of the page (this is important for search engine optimization and for ADA compliance)

  • Assign the page to the main section of the site it will appear under, called the Parent Item

Info

The menu link title should match the page title, since the section front pages are specifically meant to summarize the section.

  • The Weight determines where in the navigation menu the title of the page will appear (the lower the weight, the higher the term will be in the menu)

  • Now, click the URL Path Settings option below the Menu Settings link

  • This is where you change the URL from a node to a user-friendly link (you can select “Generate automatic URL alias” and Drupal will use the page title and section title to generate the URL)

Info

Prepositions like “to” and “of” will be dropped from the URL structure. If you choose to create your own alias, the alias should show both the parent section and the child section.
