Contributing to the PHREE-Way portal

by Randall Kemp last modified 2007-08-13 22:59

A howto on adding and editing content in the PHREE-Way portal.

The PHREE-Way portal is a highly flexible and robust set of website modules, allowing users to browse and edit content based on certain permissions. Anyone can read the published items without signing up for a portal account.

If you do choose to sign up for a portal account, you will then have the opportunity to contribute items to the portal. The possible items include a web link, a page of text, a document, an event notice, or a news item. These items may be placed in the Resources area of the portal or in your own personal folder, called myfolder. The items in the Resources folder will need to be published to the portal by one of the portal reviewers once you have authored and submitted an item. Items in your myfolder area, on the other hand, do not need to be reviewed. You may make the items in your myfolder area private or publish them as you see fit. Members of the Advisory Group, Core Steering Committee, and portal administrators may all choose to review submitted items in the Resources area.

To add an item to the Resources area of the PHREE-Way portal, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate using the folder structure in the navigation box on the upper left of each portal page to the Resources folder of the portal.
  2. Navigate to the appropriate folder within the Resources area. If an appropriate folder, such as initiatives, documents, or events, does not exist, create a new folder.
  3. From the appropriate folder, select an item type from the "add item" pull down sub-menu under the "view" tab in the middle column of the page.
  4. Fill in required and optional values for the item type you selected: title, description, etc.
  5. Click on the save button at the bottom of the entry fields.
  6. In the "state" sub-menu under the "edit" tab, select "submit" (or "publish" if you have the necessary permissions).

The above basic instructions walk you through the minimum steps needed to submit an item to the PHREE-Way portal.

The same steps enumerated above allow you to add content to your personal myfolder. Access your personal myfolder from the personal tool bar after you have logged in. The personal tool bar contains your name, my folder, preferences, undo, and log out on the right hand side of each page just above the main content area.

A word on permissions: if you feel you should have greater responsibility with adding/editing/deleting items in the portal, please contact the site administrator with your request.

If you have any additional questions, please contact the site administrator.
