In 2013-02, [[User:Dave|Dave]] looked at months 2012-03 - 2013-01 . |

Revision as of 03:53, 20 August 2013
The Sagamore Hills PTA has a website at sagamorehillspta.org to serve the Sagamore Hills Elementary School community. There are other Sagamore websites too. Email the Sagamore Online mailing list to discuss.
It is a Wordpress installation with Dreamhost managed by Vera Kornylak, Dave Barker, and whoever else wants to join in.
To Do
- Possible starting points: Twenty Twelve, the default Wordpress theme, supposed to support major Wordpress features (probably the best to child off of); SemPress, semantic goodness; Toolbox & BlankSlate, in the raw to start from (almost) scratch --Dave (talk) 16:10, 15 February 2013 (EST)
- Use Google Calendar—embed in website and allow public subscribing
- Use prettier urls? See Using Permalinks and the the settings. --Dave (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2013 (EST)
Done
- Suggest adding a newsletter signup opportunity to homepage (Contact provides code under Contacts, Grow My Contact List) --Dave (talk) 17:33, 3 February 2013 (EST)
- Remove the ability to leave comments on PTA website pages—the site is not a blog to host discussion, it just disseminates information. Instead, make sure contact information is readily available on all pages. --Dave (talk) 11:16, 2 February 2013 (EST)
- Turned off interaction (notifying linked blogs, pingback & trackbacks, comments) by default for new content --Dave (talk) 16:46, 2 March 2013 (EST)
- Disabled interaction on existing pages(13)/posts(3) (all we ever saw was spam, and our contact information (email) is available on the site)--Dave (talk) 18:53, 12 May 2013 (EDT)
- Link to the Constant Contact provided webpage for weekly newsletters instead of copy & pasting them onto the PTA homepage. --Dave (talk) 11:31, 2 February 2013 (EST)
How To
Link to the newsletter
The most recent weekly Wildcat Update Newsletter should be linked from the Sagamore PTA homepage. Here's how to find the link (URL).
- Login to the PTA Constant Contact account
- Find the Email Details page of the email (newsletter) to link to (in Recent Work, or Email)
- Under Social Sharing, select Simple Share, and find the URL (something like:
http://conta.cc/UPZ93d)
Accounts
Several accounts are associated with managing the website.
Wordpress
The Wordpress site has a single user, admin, assigned Dave Barker's email address*, with the password known to both him and Vera Kornylak. Most website work will be done using this account by logging into the site.
* Since passwords may be sent to the account email address, it's not appropriate to use the PTA online group email address.
Log
The log account, is used to view website-access statistics generated by Dreamhost's Analog.
Server
If you need access to the server files, check out the server account.
Database
Wordpress uses a database account.
