Admin
The Gizmologists website uses the default admin interface. If you have not been there before, it may be found at /admin/ on the website.
In order to get an admin account, someone with an admin account must be contacted. Then, they need to navigate to their admin home screen. On this page, under Authentication and Authorization header, click Users, and then click add user. Enter the info and select save, bringing you to the next page. Add necessary personal info. Under Permissions, be sure to check the "Staff status" checkbox, giving access to the admin site. Then, click save and the user can now log in normally.
Projects are the highest level model - use these for any large scale project that needs its own card in the projects page.
A project can be made simply by going to the admin site, finding the section labelled projects and selecting add next to it. Enter the content you wish to have in the project and select create - it's that easy!
To add posts, simply click on add next to posts and do the same. Be sure to use the correct project in the project field.
In the content editor, look at the top bar. There should be a small box with mountains to signify an image. Click this and navigate to the upload tab. Find your image on your computer and then select "Send it to the server." From there, you can use your image by pressing OK at the bottom - just be sure to select the desired dimensions and settings for your image.
Note that only some fields allow images.
Projects are defined as archived if they have an end date. Thus, to archive a project, simply select an end date when editing a project.
We use a Users model in the projects section in order to show which people need added to the email list. Note that this is ENTIRELY SEPARATE from the Users model in the Authentication and Authorization section - that is for admin users only! (for now)
To get the people that need added to the email list, click on the Users model under Projects on the admin site. Once there, select one user and select "Get list of people who need to be added" in the actions dropdown, under the search bar. Once here, select Go. You can then select all of the computing IDs and put them into the collab site - thus adding them to the email list.
This is more manual - there is no form to get this info, so if someone emails saying they wish to be removed, first remove them from the collab site. Then, remove them from the Gizmologists site. This is entirely necessary so we do not keep information for those who quit the club. Do this by selecting their user, going in the actions menu, and selecting "Delete selected users."
