The College of Education's main website is built with the Drupal content management system (CMS). Drupal allows you to edit pages, upload documents and images, update your faculty or staff profile, create events, among other things. We have assembled a few tutuorials, listed below. You can also contact the site manager, Paul Keyes, with any questions you may have.

Basic Page Editing

  • Log in to the COE site
  • Navigate to the page you need to edit
  • Under the main page title, click 'New Draft' tab, which will bring you to the editing screen
  • Edit the main page text in the 'Body' text area
  • After you have made your edit, if you:
    • are ready to publish:  click the 'Revision information' tab toward the end of the page, and change the 'Moderation state' to 'Needs review'
    • want to save your draft to edit later, just click 'Save' at bottom of the page.

Adding an Accordion to Your Page

An accordion can help to reduce clutter and page length by hiding information on your page until an accordion-enabled link is clicked (just as you had to click the title above to read this content).  To add one, you need to follow these steps:

  1. In the 'Body' field on your page, click 'Switch to plain text editor,' directly below the Body frame

  2. At the top of the page, add this exact code: <p>[accordion]</p>

  3. The accordion uses the Header 2 (<h2>) elements on the page to trigger its effect.  For each Header 2, add an 'id' attribute

  4. '<h2>First header</h2>' becomes '<h2 id="accordion1">First header</h2>, <h2>Second header</h2>' becomes '<h2 id="accordion2">Second header</h2>, and so on, changing each '<h2>' to '<h2 id=accordion[n]>', where [n] indicates the header number

  5. At the bottom of your page, close the accordion square brackets: <p>[/accordion]&;t;>
