Anastasia - Troy, MI

Proposed Sitemap

Good morning Brenda,


Here is the current and pre-design, suggested sitemap for you to go over, update, and return to us:

Current Sitemap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a1MAtYO0oxEm1scpVkQaScRSwxs5_hP4OSplMm5TNcM/edit?usp=sharing
Pre-Design Suggested Sitemap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hPl3B4BOF-PmJyGJUvZFovbwMGrZ2j0W8CiHoYVXkSE/edit?usp=sharing

Once the complete design is officially approved, we will be sending out a suggested sitemap along with our questions and annotated notes.
Here is a quick overview of the process from sitemap review to launch:

  1. Diocesan rearranges current sitemap to ensure logical page/information flow to create suggested sitemaps. Client (Anastasia team) adds/removes any pages/content that Diocesan should/should not bring into the new website. 
  2. Design officially approved. Any changes to the design after the approval may incur additional costs.
  3. Diocesan takes pre-design, suggested sitemap and creates a new, official suggested sitemap that includes any questions and annotated notes of which design mockup layout we would suggest for each page.
  4. Client is sent another live link to Google Document so they can go over the official suggested sitemap, answer questions in real time, and add/remove any more pages/content, as necessary. 
  5. Diocesan moves content into the new website, using the official suggested sitemap as a guide of how to set up page flow and navigation menu, which page layout to use when migrating content, and to mark which pages have/have not been moved.
  6. Diocesan sends the client a link to the development site and schedules the first training session.
  7. First training session. Diocesan creates user accounts for the client so that they may begin accessing & editing the website.
  8. Second training session (questions + more training).
  9. Launch.

Let me know if you have any questions and/or when you've completed updating the suggested sitemap,

Hi Veronica!

Thank you!

I have today off - and will pass this by other staff
members when I get back in the office.

Meanwhile, I do have a few questions maybe you can answer.

I see the 'Contact Us' section is the last section
on the page. Does the order on the site map
indicate the order one would see it on our page?
If so - that would need to be moved way up to
almost the top...

Also a note. Under the drop down of Parish Life,
there is "In the Gym". That is a calendar that
is separate from the Parish Calendar - which I
actually don't actually see on the revised site map?
I also don't see the bulletin?

Under the 'Where to serve", with the exception of
'St. Anastasia', could the list be alphabetized or is
that something we need to do?

Those are my initial questions. I will follow
up with our other departments as well!

Also, as soon as I see our pastor again - I will
get a few times for a design meeting!

Thanks so much :)



God bless,

Hello Brenda,


Feel free to take your time. The layout of your website is very important to the site flow and design. 

The sitemap is a vertical layout of everything in the menu and page flow, not any kind of representation of the homepage/inner page layout. To eliminate confusion, I have added a "Main Menu Items" area that allows you to quickly see the 8 main menu items that would go along the top of your screen.

Bulletins and In the Gym are both under Parish Life.  If you prefer bulletins or any other links to go in your footer, be sure to mention this to Danae. Your website's design should work to fit your content, not the other way around, so be sure to mention other items that you'd like to be displayed prominently to Danae during the beginning of design discussions. 

You can highlight text and right-click to add comments. I made a comment for all the ministries so that we remember to alphabetize them as we put them into the new website. 

Let me know if you have any other questions,


Veronica Alvarado

TO THE CLIENT Veronica Alvarado, Project Manager at Diocesan

Hello Brenda,


Danae let me know that you asked a question regarding content. I have broken down your questions into a few sections below:

Sharing Content
Please use the following Google Drive folder to upload any files or create new documents of information you would like us to add in addition to current content on your website. (Diocesan will only move the content you note in the suggested sitemap sent June 20.)
Your Google Drive Folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Af-spmOBD-YXkk3lTGRY6jOHanCZHz4E?usp=sharing
Please keep in mind that only after migration of your site's current content will Diocesan begin using the remaining content migration hours to add new content.

Documents
If you are looking to share content with Diocesan, we require any text to be in either a Microsoft Word document or a Google Document (you can create one within the folder linked above).

Photos
In regards to photos, please upload them to the Google Drive folder I have linked above.

Videos
Diocesan suggests that videos be uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo and then embedded via link in the web page's content for the sake of the website's load times and storage space. Once you have uploaded the video, simply copy and paste the URL into the area you wish Diocesan to embed the video. 

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Hi Danae,

We are hoping to go over things later
this week.

A question though – if someone were going
to create a new content page for the new
site (that will not be added to our old site)
what format do you recommend and what
can be included (pictures, backgrounds,
video, etc.)?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info Veronica.

Just a note – the site map I sent was just to help
the staff in helping make recommendations to us on
the site design. There may still be changes based
on recommendations once we understand more
what you can and can’t do – and what makes sense.
So as I indicated in the email – it is just a draft at
this point.

Thanks again!

Hi Brenda,


I know that Father needs some time to go over design so I was wondering if you'd like to have the content meeting in the meantime. Of course, Father could join and I can answer any questions he has about the process. Primarily, I just want to go over all of your content questions in terms of how creating/editing pages goes, when you'll be able to begin editing, what kinds of content you'd like on your website, functionalities you're expecting, and any other questions you may have. 

If you'd like to wait and have it at the end of your design meeting, that works. I just wanted to give you the option. Just let me know.

Good afternoon Brenda,


Now that the design is approved and you are in the development queue, I wanted to check in on content. I started over with your suggested sitemap so that it followed the document you sent over to Blake. Please review the suggested sitemap and make any edits needed.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jwbRP9Rbq0y79Idjz2YixWZPl9eUrY_4zghsmQb8Ksc/edit?usp=sharing

Once you have reviewed and approved the website, we will mark it as ready for content migration once the development site is ready.

Sharing Content
Please use the following Google Drive folder to upload any files or create new documents of information you would like us to add in addition to current content on your website.

Your Google Drive Folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Af-spmOBD-YXkk3lTGRY6jOHanCZHz4E?usp=sharing
Please keep in mind that only after migration of your site's current content will Diocesan begin using the remaining content migration hours to add new content. 

Let me know if you have questions and we can schedule a time to review them together.

Good morning Brenda, 


I just reviewed the sitemap and it's looking good!
I moved your notes to comments on the document so that any replies may be done on the side and have dates & author.
See how to add comments on Google document by clicking here.

I've also put Friday, February 28, on our calendars to reach out to you and Father to revisit the homepage layout and finalize the design. Unlike the rest of your website pages, the homepage is a pre-designed template of sections with editable content, so we definitely want to make sure you have all the available sections that you need for now and in the upcoming future. 

Let me know if another day works better for you and I will relay the message to Blake. 

Thank you,

Hi!

Thanks.

The 28th doesn’t work for me at all.
As Fr. Steve is out of the country, unfortunately, I cannot
speak for him.

I am going to do my best to catch him (I have it in my
calendar a few times) and request the
needed info for the home page! I will let you know
as soon as I get something nailed down!

Hi Brenda,


Again, I just wanted to apologize for all of the mishap with the domain transfer. I hope the access to Basecamp messages and the emails Mary will be forwarding over to you will help. I have also made a note so that all correspondence regarding the project will include you.

Also, thank you for your feedback regarding the domain transfer process. I know this has been frustrating and we have done all we can on our end, but it has pointed out some ways that we can work to provide even better customer service and guidelines before the process even begins and communication throughout the process. That said, your feedback is greatly appreciated and will help us better communicate the process and ensure much smoother transfers in the future.

Here are some notes on the things we mentioned during our call:

Missing Posts
This website will randomly create archived versions of sites and their page content. While the homepage's most recent archive is December 30, 2019, the Funeral's most recent archive'd page is from October 2017: https://web.archive.org/web/20171005221152/http://www.stanastasia.org/category/funerals/
We've never run into an issue where the hosting server's files (posts) are lost due to a domain transfer or even updated IP address. The domain and hosting are entirely separate. The domain has to do with the web address, so emails that use stanastasia.org, website that uses stanastasia.org, etc. The hosting is all of the actual development code, files, etc. Unfortunately, this hosted content is something that is out of Diocesan's hands. Once you switch to Diocesan's hosted server (your new website design,site,content, etc), it is something that we will be able to see. All websites on Diocesan's servers have daily, weekly, and monthly backups to ensure this will not happen.

Suggested Sitemap
Here is the sitemap that you have reviewed.
Suggested Sitemap
If there are going to be any new pages, or pages that will have content replaced by a document, please leave a comment with a note of it on the sitemap. That way, Diocesan will know to check in the Google Drive Folder for new page content.
See how to add comments on Google document by clicking here.

Sharing Content
Please use the following Google Drive folder to upload any files/images or create new documents of information you would like us to add in addition to current content on your website.
See how to create new documents & folders within a Google Drive Folder by clickign here.

Your Google Drive Folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Af-spmOBD-YXkk3lTGRY6jOHanCZHz4E?usp=sharing
Please keep in mind that only after migration of your site's current content will Diocesan begin using the remaining content migration hours to add new content.

When to Migrate Content
Once the site is ready for content migration, either Cody or I will reach out to you to let you know. It is at this point that we can determine which pages can be migrated or which should wait until we are closer to training (at which point your staff will have access to update pages).

Let me know if you have any other questions,

Good Morning Veronica!

Question regarding content and new pages.

Could you please refresh my memory?

*Are we to stop adding pages on the old website?
*Or is it just if we add new pages - we need to duplicate
the information and put it in google folder listed below?
* Or is that just if we want to add new pages to the
new website - other than the site map (hopefully you
saw updates I put in there on Monday) - those new pages
need to go in the folder?
*Or - none of the above! lol

TO THE CLIENT Cody Armock, Web Content Specialist at Diocesan
Good Afternoon Brenda,

Sorry about the late response!

I would say that if once we start migrating the content any new pages that you make that are not in the sitemap have the potential to not be brought over in the process. The same thing goes for any changes to a page during the process. When we start the process and complete migration for the page, we will cross that page off in the sitemap. If a change is made to that page after it is crossed off, you will be able to bring over the new changes after the first training process.

If there is not a page on the site, but want us to add it from the Google Drive Folder, please put a note next to it on the sitemap saying something to the effect of "Google Drive". That way we know where to find it. 

I don't know if that exactly fits one of the options above except the last one, but I hope that clarifies things.

Thank you,

I working on those remaining items today so they will be done by the end of today or completed tomorrow by the latest.

people and the pastor scheduled
to attend the training meeting.

I don't feel it would be a good use of their
time to listen to you and I go back and
forth about placement.

The session is a training - or a how to -
you show - we learn - and have everyone
be able to ask some questions about
their areas and things that may not be clear
to them (or me). Or specific forms they
would like help on - or questions on things
they may have already tried to edit and need
help with.

Not something that could be done with just
you and me.

Yes - I do know about hard refreshes - thanks
for asking - thanks for mentioning you're still
working on it! Maybe shoot me an email when
you're done and I'll take another look and see
if we need the phone conversation?


God bless,

Good Afternoon Brenda,

I believe everything should be in accord with the Excel Spreadsheet sitemap. Please let me know if I missed something. Thank you for your patience with this process. There were a couple of pages that I could not find content for such as Pics/Links for Parish life, but for the most part, I was able to find the content for the pages. 

We can briefly go over the Ministry templates on Thursday in training since I don't recall going over those much in the first training and those templates are used in a couple of places, plus it would be good for everyone to know in case they want to use it in the future.

Thank you,

Hi Cody!

Thanks for your email.

I am part way through double-checking everything, but
thought I would send you this list so far:

Column: About us
- Becoming Catholic - I switched the picture of the baptismal candle,
but can't figure out how to make the pic smaller. I tried just grabbing
one of the sides and adjusting it - but it doesn't reflect the change
when I save and even hard refresh.
-please delete Our Parish App at this time. It is on the
backburner until we get the website up. On the drop down and on the landing
page. Note: It's also on under the "Resources" column.
-Under 'Directions' ... the map covers the bottom bar of the site.
Is that supposed to happen or can it be adjusted?
- Mass Times ..... We had changed the title to include /Confessions (not
indicated on the excel sheet (sorry)
so ... Mass Times/Confessions. I cannot figure out how to switch this.
It's in multiple spots.

Column: Parish Calendar
needs a landing page for both calendar options

Column: Worship
-Mass Times
Please add "/Confessions"
is missing a landing page that would include Mass Times and Daily Readings
*I tried to add an mp4 to this page and was blocked due to size. It's an
hour long Mass. Is there any way to fix this or enlarge the capabilities?
- Daily Readings
Is there a way that it could automatically look forward instead of backward?
So maybe "today's" readings and the upcoming Sunday's reading?
- Funeral Masses
There is no landing page
the content on the two pages is mixed up. The Obits should be the
upcoming funerals ... and we will have new content for the Gen Inf/FAQ page.
- Sacraments
Baptism has no landing page
needs two pages: Basic Information (add to list) and Request a Cert...
Confession has no landing page
Matrimony has no landing page
Please move content that is currently on the "Matrimony" page to
We just got engaged page. Then, we will work on tweaking it to our
new options!
- Music Ministry - I don't think the page is long enough to need the
format where the ministries are also included above the descriptions.
I don't want
to screw anything up - as I see it's formatted, so will you please delete
that list?

Thought I would send these along - more to come, I'm sure.

Thanks so much for all your work!

Hi!

Here's the rest of what I saw:

Spiritual Growth Column:
-Religious Education needs a landing page please
-move information that is currently there to the Intro/welcome
-add the Teen Ministry and Spanish Classes to menu drop down (and add pages)

-Add landing page for Adult Faith

- Young Adults needs a landing page and 2nd page (Young Catholic Professionals)

- Young Families needs a landing page and items added to menu

Get Involved Column:
-the button on the home page is not linked
-Evangelization can you please add a page? So now a landing page
and 2 pages - Unleash the Gospel and Evangelization Committee.
(menu too)
Also - I tried to switch the pics and am having trouble - just a heads up

Resources Column:
- delete Our parish app
- #11 - I'm confused here. We have "other ways to volunteer outside of
SA." You have "Other Places to Serve" which I think is actually ok.
However, when you get there, the title is different? I was just going to
change it myself from "Ministries of Commun. S. Opp" to "Other Places
to Serve" but I couldn't change the "Ministries of" ... so I left it for you 😉
https://stanastasia.diocesanweb.org/get-involved/where-to-serve/

-Ministry Schedules needs a landing page and add the three areas (to the menu
too please)

That's it for now!

Good Morning Cody!

As we get closer to getting 🙂the desktop version in place,
I was looking at the mobile site this am.

Something I've noticed is:
When there is no landing page for a page, and you click on the
buttons, the picture partially covers the titles.

Examples:

About Us
Mass Times - also name doesn't fit at all on the mobile part


When I went to the Happenings, there is the picture and then the title.
Is it possible to move the title of the section up closer to the picture
it belongs to? And then leave a little space between the different happenings?

Thanks!

Good Morning Brenda,

I have made to-dos for the items you mentioned on Mobile. The second one with the Happenings Archive may be a little challenging as the titles make room for the box shadows, but we will do our best. The developer will probably be getting to these changes later in the week. 

As for the Family of Parishes, I didn't know what content was supposed to go there, but you can make a page and add it to the menu and then Edit the Homepage and add the link to that page in the button. I didn't know what content was going there, so I did not make the page. I believe adding it to the menu and linking it from the homepage are well within your realm of capability and would be good practice.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi,

Ok – so here’s the thing.
I did create a page. Now it’s saved as a pending page.

The snafu … maybe cause I’m still a rookie … you said:
add it to the menu and then Edit the Homepage and add the link to that page in the button.

The thing is: I saved it as pending review … idk where to save it to …

I went to “add new page” – which I did. Then I went back to put it in the line up,
but there’s no where to put it under …. as the buttons don’t show up as a parent
page.

What am I missing?

Hello Brenda,

You can only add pages to the menu if they have been published. You could make the page Password Protected for now or even Public and add it to the menu and the homepage. Adding it to the menu would just be putting it just above the Contact Us Page and make sure that it is as far left as possible for it to be a Main Menu item. 

If it is Pending Review, it is basically still a draft right now and not an accessible page on the website. Once you add it to both places, i.e. the menu and the homepage, you can make it a Private page, so only those that are logged into the website can see it until you are ready for it to be visible. But it needs to be Published Publicly first to add it to the menu and homepage.

Let me know if I need to clarify anything there!

Hello Brenda,

Not a big deal! It is fixed. I forgot that there were actually two menus under Appearances. Primary is the big one and then the language selector. Turns out that they were just in the wrong locations. You can toggle between them here by clicking on the one you want, in this case, it will always be "Primary Menu" and then click the Select button (1st image below). I have added Family of Parishes to the menu too.

The reason for the menu being on the homepage was that it was set to the wrong display location, but that has been fixed too. Primary Menu should stay in the Primary location (2nd image below) and Language Selector as the secondary, otherwise what you saw will happen. It did not take long to fix and everything should be good to go now. Great learning experience, right?!

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi again!

I wanted to edit the Funeral page - but it's a 'category'.
https://stanastasia.diocesanweb.org/category/funerals/

I wanted to add something about funerals - and add our staff persons contact info. but I don't see how to do that.


"At the death of a Christian, whose life of faith was begun in the waters of Baptism and strengthened at the Eucharistic table, the Church intercedes on behalf of the deceased because of its confident belief that death is not the end, nor does it break the bonds forged in life. The Church also ministers to the sorrowing and consoles them in the funeral rites with the comforting Word of God and the Sacrament of the Eucharist."
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (Order of Christian Funerals, no. 4)

If you are planning a funeral of a loved one and would like more information, please contact Holly Michelcavage, our Sacrament Coordinator.
Know also of the prayerful support of our clergy, staff, and entire parish for your family and friends and for your loved one. You are not alone.

Hello Brenda,

There is a landing page in the menu for Funeral Masses, you could put the info on the page above or below the image buttons that act as jump-off points to the other pages. 

Additionally, there is the General Information & FAQ page as the first jump-off point from that landing page where you can put that information. That is a normal page, just without any content right now, if you want to put the information there. You could also make another page specifically for this information and add a button on that Funeral landing page for it.

Unfortunately, because Funerals is a category page we can't any custom content there, but with one of the options above it should work still.

Hi!

When I am on the mobile site, if I hold my phone landscape… It’s fine. If I hold it portrait style, it is not.

As far as the holiday schedule, what is it like it diocesan?

Was your last email suggesting we not launch until after the new year??

I would also be interested in having a conversation about perhaps some other challenges that you have had in launching other websites. What to expect… That kind of thing.

Good Morning Brenda,

I have made a note for the developer based on those images, I know the developer was still working on that yesterday, and I know he is working with Blake on the layout of it. I think he is still working on it, but I will check.

As for the launching date, I would say as long as you don't plan to launch between December 24th and the new year, it should be absolutely fine! So, just that week was more what I was getting at. Anytime before then should be absolutely fine though!

On the whole with the launch, this should be relatively straightforward since we have the domain and so it will just be switching things there. When we get closer to launch, we will send instructions for the day of the launch and basically, that will be refraining from editing the site while the site is launching as that will quite often not save your changes. We will send an email when the site is launched and then you will be able to edit the site again.

Hi Cody!

So here's a weird thing.

The Music page. When I go to the page, I cannot see
all the music groups pics. (Maybe when I edited words or something
I screwed it up 😕) But ... when I go to 'edit' the page ... the music
group pics are all there!

https://stanastasia.diocesanweb.org/get-involved/music/

****************************

Another thing I must have screwed up.
For the groups to join. I think I inadvertently
deleted the landing page! Yeesh.
So - you can go to get involved.... you can see
the groups to join - but when you click on it.....nada.
https://stanastasia.diocesanweb.org/get-involved/

I looked in the trash to see if I could just restore it,
but didn't see it.

When I search 'groups' I see the childrens, teens and
adults pages all there. whew.

Sorry! Believe it or not - I have been able to figure out
a bunch of stuff! lol

Hi again!

Speaking of groups .... the other thing.
I know in the 'groups to join', I know you were working on getting the
"Ministries of" off of the 3 pages (kids, teens, adults)
I see one page is done -the other 2 pending.

_______________________

The other thing I noticed. When, particularly prevalent on adults
and children's pages.... when you click on a group ... it takes you
to the group info below.

The problem is ... when you click on it, it takes you to the line below
the title of the group. In other words, it passes by "K of C" and
goes to the volunteer's name instead. (on the children's groups too)

The teen page is ok - as there's only a couple offerings.

Also - it had been recommended to us a while ago - not to have
everyone's emails listed so prevalent on the page - but to have them
'linked' to other names. Something with saving everyone from potential
... idk ... robots searching sites I think? Is there a way to link the email addresses
in forms instead of having them listed separately?

So I guess I spoke to soon about feeling more comfortable.

So here's the thing. Please don't hate me.

This was the initial problem that I had tried to solve.
Obviously, I should have sent it your way .... cause now
you have more work because, not only was I unable
to fix what I saw ....

Here's what happened in case it's helpful.
On the get involved page - I saw that page
buttons were duplicated.

So - I went to the edit that landing page.
The buttons I saw on the landing page were not
in the edit part. (Which I have done before)

So .... I went to the pages - and 'trashed' them
which is how i realized in my earlier email that
two were still there and not in the edit.


NOW - whatever catestrophic move that was,
the menu drop down - instead of having like
the original category headers - now has about
35! UGGGGGGGHHHH!!!

See why I prefaced with a don't hate me? What
I really meant was 'don't kill me'! lol

I'm so very sorry. I figured I better send it your way
before I do more harm than good 😕

Hello Brenda,

I tried to go in order of your emails, so I hope all of this makes sense.

  1. For some reason, the Music Gallery was in the trash. I restored it and now the pictures are available on the music page.
  2. The Groups To Join page was in the trash, I just restored it and now it works.
  3. The developer added a checkbox for the "Group Ministries template on the Document pane under the "Page Attributes" dropdown to turn off the "Ministries of" bit. See the screenshot below.
  4. When you click on a group it goes to the line below, the volunteer's name, it is actually going to the correct line, but because of the Wordpress Admin bar (Black bar with the Edit Page link on it), it is covering up that part. You can try on a different browser or log out (as long as the Admin Bar is not there it should work) and you will see it go to the correct line.
  5. As for the emails on the site, we have a way of obfuscating/hiding the emails from bots searching the site, but if it does happen. You can make a Ministry interest form that you could make a separate page for and link that page on all of the ministry pages. In the form, you could have several different checkbox fields with different ministries. From there, in the Form Notifications, you could use the Configure Routing option to send to a specific email if they choose a certain ministry. (We covered this in the second training).
  6. I just restored the pages that you deleted and that brought back the menu items and fixed the menu. The buttons were duplicated on the Get Involved page because it had the image buttons and the page was set to "All Ministries" which brings in all children of that page and sets them to look like the Image Buttons. I just changed the template of the Get Involved page to a "Default Template" so it got rid of the duplication and restored the deleted pages and that fixed the menu.
  7. Ministry/Service Opportunities was restored.

Right now – the menu isn’t even in the top right. It’s
On the left of the screen.

When I go to subpages I think you call them -
In other words – click the blue button
Mass times – the page still isn’t correct – on any

Good Morning Brenda,

For the Obit page, the pictures can be changed by changing that post's featured image. 

I will add those as to-dos for the developer to fix this week and make sure that it is tested. 

By form, I mean the Gravity Forms where we made one in the second training. You could have a contact person dropdown and then in the Notifications of the form, if they pick a certain dropdown it would go to that email. It wouldn't make anything more secure by removing it from that bar, where the Email is blue and moving it to the description and linking it, which require writing HTML in every description box. I made a quick test form on the site called "Contact Person Test Form" with just a dropdown of three people and then set up the notification for it, so you can see what would happen. The dropdown field contains three people: Kim, Patricia, and Holly. It someone chooses Kim, then it will send Kim a notification, if Holly, Holly gets an email, etc. (Screenshot Below)

I hope that clears things up!

Hello Brenda,

The reason that you wouldn't find it in the support for adding pages to the menu is that the In The Gym Activities item you added is actually a post. I am not sure if you wanted to make it a page or if you wanted to keep it as a post. If you want to keep it as a post, you can add it to the menu by clicking the posts dropdown and finding it there. If you don't see the Post dropdown under Pages in the Menu area, you may need to select it from the Screen Options tab in the top right corner of the screen.

Hi Cody!

When we are on a page like: https://stanastasia.diocesanweb.org/worship/mass-times/
all the titles and the line underneath it seem pretty far away from each
other. Can they be moved closer to each other (on ALL the pages - not just this example)?
Like instead of double-spacing after every heading, can it be all single spacing after headings?

How do I indent the next line if I want to? It indents if I'm adding a list ....
but not if I just insert spaces to indent.

Ministry pages: We do not want the email address in the form as it is. How do I add a link into the descriptions? https://stanastasia.diocesanweb.org/get-involved/service-opportunities/ministry-opportunities/

Launch - when I give you a date, what is the process on our end? Are we still able to continue
editing pages or is there a time frame prior to that we are not able to?

Thanks!

Hello Brenda,

Heading Margins
I have made a to-do for the developer to decrease the spacing above and below the headings for all pages.

Indenting Paragraphs
As for indenting of paragraphs, you can either edit the html for the paragraph block and add some padding-left: 10px; or so using inline styling, or you can use the Classic ("/classic" in a new paragraph block)  block and then write your paragraph and use the Increase Indent Button (image below). Indents for paragraphs on websites are pretty rare.
Ministry Emails
To remove the emails, go to the page in question and delete the email from the field. Then in the description copy the code and replace the bracketed parts. More Instructions on this page with an example.
<a href=”mailto:[insert email here]”>[Text you want displayed here]</a>

Launch
The only time that we ask that you refrain from editing the site is the day of the launch until you get an email from us saying that the site is launched. Anytime between now and then, you can edit the site. Usually what happens when people edit the site while it is launching is that their changes do not save to the launched version, but it has also caused issues with forcing logouts and things like that. We will send an email reminder the day of the launch asking to stay off the site during the launch though.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Hiya!

Hope you're doing well!

2 things:

1. I just glanced and realized I don't remember an answer to this:

Can the readings look ahead a little? Like having the
upcoming Sunday Gospel listed?

https://stanastasia.diocesanweb.org/parish-life/resources-links/scripture-readings/

2. changing category pics. For the obit page, I attached 2 different pics that we could
use. How would I just change that category pic so it's on each obit submitted?

Good Afternoon Brenda,

  1. There is no way for me to pull in future readings, but I included a button by the RSS Feed for users to find upcoming readings on that page. You can adjust that Button block and move it below or above the Readings Feed.
  2. Without a featured image set for those posts in the Obit category, it will pull in and display the default featured image in the Theme Settings (the image of the Church). The way to change this is to change the featured image for the post in the Obit category like I did for Anna. (Pic Below) You could just click Remove Image then Set Featured Image and set the Cross one there too. This would just be done when making each post. You can see what it will look like on the Obit page.
  3. As for the Mercy / Encouragement page Emails in the descriptions, I updated the instructions to make them more clear of what to do. As for the paperclip or icon to link, there is already the Email field that can be filled in to match the proof. I see that someone tried it for Blood Drives, but they forgot the HTML to make it work and it just came out as an email address. It needs the full statement below. More Instructions at the top of this page or on the Styles Page here. Also, screenshot below shows example before Updating the page.
    1. It works on Happenings just fine because that is normal Gutenberg. However, these are Custom Fields, so they are a little more specific in what can be inputted.
    2. I added the instructions on the Styles page too, so you can find them there and remove the instructions from the Mercy / Encouragement page, so people won't see that if they go to that page when we launch.
<a href="mailto:[insert email here]">[Text you want displayed here]</a>

back to ministry pages.

Is there a way to add a paperclip to the top of the ministry pages?
I realize there's an alternate way - but the paperclip is
what everyone looks for and is easier to remember
than the formula.

God bless,


Brenda
TO THE CLIENT Cody Armock, Web Content Specialist at Diocesan
Hello Brenda,

By paperclip, you mean a button to add a link at the end of the description? Would it always be at the end of the description? The Approved proofs had it where the email would be up by the Ministry Contact's name.

We could add a way for that email to be tacked onto the end of the description as a link and you would basically just add context leading up to it such as "Contact Kim by Email here: [Website automatically inserts email link here from the Email field]" or something else. I am just trying to get more clarification, so I can get a better estimate from the developer for time.

Thank you,

Hi Cody,

At the time of the proof, there was no way to
try it out - and we never had that form on the old
site.

They are simply trying to figure out an easier way
to 'insert a link' into the description part.

Please let me know what the charge would be
for us to reevaluate 'need'.

Thanks!


God bless,


Brenda
TO THE CLIENT Cody Armock, Web Content Specialist at Diocesan
Hello Brenda,

I think we figured out a way to make it simple, but also not have to rebuild anything and have a very quick fix.

Right now, it will take the Contact Person Field and the Email field and render a link for that person in the code using both of the fields without you having to do anything. If you would like us to move the "Contact Kim Houseman" to the end of the description, we can do that very quickly too, but I think it calls more attention to it as a separate item. 

Let me know what you think. This makes it a lot easier for you to add these without having to use any HTML.

As for the fonts and the stylings, I checked out the fonts and they are rendering as Trajan Pro 3 for the Page Titles and most of the headings, and the double-spacing has been fixed. You might need to do a hard-refresh (Instructions Here) to bring in the updated code.

Hi Cody!

There is an immediate concern with a link difference for our
Giving Tree!

On our old site, this was the link (which is no longer active)

https://www.stanastasia.org/giving -tree-charities/

On our new site, this is the current link:
https://www.stanastasia.org/news-events/giving-tree-charities/

As people are trying to buy gifts/donate to our Giving Tree,
they cannot connect!

They already took the tags that have the old site listed.

Can you please help us figure out the solution? I know how to
edit a permalink - but this one is different.

Ideally - we'd like it to match the old link which matches the tags
that were already distributed. Is there a way to do that?

2 things:

Groupings .... How to? This is what I want:
St. Anastasia Parish, Troy
Christ Our Light Parish, Troy
Guardian Angels Parish, Clawson
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Troy
St. Lucy (Croatian) Parish, Troy

But when I go to do it, St. Anastasia and Christ our Light is on the same line,
or, if I go to 'enter' so Christ our light goes to the next line, it separates
the two lines and they are no longer in the same group. Can you tell me
the trick?

https://www.stanastasia.org/families-of-parishes/

Also, on the home page, can there be just a little space between the social media logos
on the top and the search bar?

Thanks!

God bless,

Brenda
TO THE CLIENT Cody Armock, Web Content Specialist at Diocesan
Hello Brenda,

For the groupings, I am assuming that when you hit enter, it makes it a separate paragraph, but you want to keep them all in the same paragraph block, just add new lines in between. The way you can do that is instead of pressing Enter, you press Shift+Enter. This will keep the text in the same block but create a line-break between the two.

As for the spacing between the social media icons and the search icon, how space do you want there? This gets tricky with mobile responsiveness, we could add 5 more pixels between the social icons and the search icon, but anything more would most likely cause mobile issues.
You can see the difference between the original (1st image) and it with 5px added (2nd image). Is this good with you?

Let me know and I can schedule it for the developer to change it!

Thanks Cody-
Spacing – this might help:

My objective, based on a few people’s feedback,
was that they didn’t notice the search option
and thought it was all social media.

So it was to just increase a bit the space between
the search bar and, in this case, the youtube logo (only).

Does that make sense?

So I’m thinking the 2nd one might be closer to achieving
that?


God bless,

TO THE CLIENT Cody Armock, Web Content Specialist at Diocesan
Happy New Year Brenda,

I have fixed the links. For whatever reason, they were invalid image blocks. There are any number of ways that you can link PDFs. 

  1. One way is to use the 'File' block and either upload the PDF there or find it in the Media Library and just changed what the text says
  2. Another is that you can add the PDF to the Media Library, click on it, and copy the link by using the 'Copy URL' button, sometimes doesn't work, or by selecting and copying the link text above the button (Screenshot below). Then take this URL and create a link the usual way, which is what I did on this page.
  3. A third option is a hybrid by copying the URL from the file block and linking it through regular text. This will give you more control over how the text appears through the paragraph block.
It has been fixed now though!

I know I inquired before, but I can't find the email with

Like with the Families of Parishes, I need a 'group'

not a 'list' as an option here that has 1,2,3, or dots ... but just sentences
with no spaces between them.

Hello Brenda,

Yeah, the knowledgebase is being worked on. Sorry about that!

To add a newline to a paragraph without making a new paragraph block, you can use Shift+Enter keys. Just hold Shift and hit enter and that will give you a new line without making a new paragraph block and therefore will not add a lot of space between them.

Cody Armock
Web Department, Diocesan
877-923-0777
FROM THE CLIENT Brenda, St. Anastasia Troy Staff
OK! Thanks!

There is still the problem of a space between
the header and the content which we had asked
a while ago to be eliminated.

An example would be on the Lent/Easter page
I am working on (in pending).

On all pages, we would like the headers we do
to not have that space between the content.

So, example, if I do the shift enter ... I can't blend the size
header 4, go to the very next line (no space) and have it
be paragraph style - because the block wants to make
it all one size.

It might be easier to see on the page what I'm trying to
explain 😉

Thanks Cody!

God bless,


Brenda
TO THE CLIENT Cody Armock, Web Content Specialist at Diocesan
Hello Brenda,

I got sidetracked while looking into this, so thank you for your patience. What is it that you want to accomplish by reducing the spacing between the heading and the paragraphs? There may be a better option for it that keeps the functionality and readability presented with headings.

Headings are used to direct attention to content while there is spacing around it to improve readability and accessibility. Removing the spacing around it and have it "grouped" with the paragraph text defeats the purpose of the heading that is used to break up content and that includes spaces. If you wanted, you could possibly get away with Bolding the first line of the paragraph, highlighting it and changing the text color of it in the paragraph toolbar, then Shift+Enter and type the rest of the paragraph. You can see what I mean on this preview of a post.

Thank you,

One other question, I seem to remember some sort
of hours they work? Is that better discussed with them
directly?

Thanks again!

Hello Brenda,

It should be back up now!

I am not sure what hours they did or what it was about, so I am not sure whom the best person to contact would be for that! Did those hours worked go through the webdepartment email or was it through here?

Oh sorry, no!

I thought the web dept was only available for help
if there was a web problem (not a novice 'how do
you do this').

Maybe it was a dif. company I interviewed that I'm thinking of...

Hello Brenda,

I am not sure what you mean. Were you asking what their schedule was or about the hours they worked on a particular part of the site?

Everybody involved in the website process is part of the Web Department, but once the site is launched instead of going through Basecamp, emails should go to webdepartment@diocesan.com.

Good morning Cody!

I am working on trying to create picture albums
for a page.

https://www.stanastasia.org/get-involved/parish-life/pics-links/

I actually do NOT want it the way I have it, as once I add more
pics for different events, it would be waaaay to cumbersome.

It would be easier for a user to click on something like the name
of the album (it can certainly have a few pics to get pp interested,
but not the whole thing visible as I have it now).

Do you have any ideas what options would be?

Thanks!

God bless,

Good Morning Brenda,

You could add that Gallery to an Envira Album or split the Gallery into multiple different galleries and add those into the Album. The album will display the first image of the gallery unless you change it with the Edit Pencil. You can refer back to the second training for more instructions.  Make sure to use 2 or 3 columns for the Number of Columns in the Album.

This will keep the images in the gallery, but only display one image for each gallery on that page. You then put the shortcode for the album on that page rather than the Envira Gallery shortcode or block.

Any subsequent events or pictures could be made into another gallery and then that gallery could be added to the album and it will update the page.

Hi Cody!

We kind of have a dilemma with what people
see on the mobile device and I'm wondering
if you can help!

When we go to our website, on our phones,
the pics that come up under Events and Happenings
get changed - to a square image - which cuts off parts of
the pics and/or messaging and makes us look
unprofessional.

We do not notice that pic adjustment on other
church or non-church sites. You go on a mobile,
and we are never just seeing 'part of the pic' -
you see it in it's entirety as it is intended.

If, we changed the images on our pc - to square
instead of landscape - then the pc part would look off.

Do you have any way to fix this?

Thanks!

God bless,

Hello Brenda,

It should now be fixed on mobile! Please do a hard refresh or clear the browser's cache on mobile and see if it looks better.

Good Morning Brenda,

In the future, please send all issues and/or questions to webdepartment@diocesan.com. That email is checked much more frequently than Basecamp, especially on the weekends.
