Updates to Website
Hello Patty,
I've been in meetings since we talked earlier today, so I haven't gotten the chance to put together the list of things we have left before launch.
However, the developer has already marked one off!
If you edit your homepage, you now have three columns all 1/3, with the second and third box both editable!
I am about to finally head out of the office, but I wanted to let you know before I left!
Talk to you on Monday,

This is wonderful new, Veronica. Thanks for the update; I’ll look at the website this afternoon!

Patty,
I was talking to the developer about breaking the Mission Statement section down into two sections and had some questions before we could give you an accurate quote.
Is this what you are thinking of?
- Do you want 1 editable title, centered over the two text boxes, or 2 editable titles, centered over each text box?
- 2 editable text boxes, broken up 1/2 + 1/2, correct?
- 1 or 2 buttons? 1 (centered below the middle of the section) or 2 (centered under each text box)?
Thanks so much, Patty,

We were wanting the mission statement to look like it does on our bulletin covers, two titles centered over the text. I realize the bulletin has the wrapper so I am referring to the non-wrapper part of the bulletin cover:

Ah, okay.
I know you have it in two columns so that you can display English and Spanish, but your website does already have the ability to go back and forth between English and Spanish.
I just want to double check that you know this and still want to have the two columns?
Thank you,

Thanks for pointing this out, Veronica. I consulted with someone else and they agreed we both forgot about the translation. With that feature there is so no need to have a two column format

I'm glad I pointed this out then, haha.
Here is the link for the items we have left for your website as of right now. Remember that it is a live link, which means as we check things off, it will update in real time. So be sure to check the link again for an update. Also, the majority of the edits will be completed on Thursday & Friday, so please let me know if there's anything else we need to add to the list until then!

Hello, Veronica. We have decided we want the bulletin and the two new free form boxes to support 1) the bulletins, 2) the calendar, and 3) events and news. Can you tell me if it is possible (and how) to put the calendar that displays on this page, https://saintjn.diocesanweb.org/about/calendar/, in the 2nd box, without having to click through to the calendar like with the current calendar “button”?
So the 2nd bulletin box would look like this:
[cid:image004.jpg@01D4C2F8.8E69BFC0]
Instead of this:
[cid:image005.jpg@01D4C2F8.8E69BFC0]
We also want to know how to link URL to text in the message section of the 3rd box so it operates more like the events widget on our current home page. We don’t need it that fancy, we would change the event and link the URL as appropriate if we knew how.
I also noticed the Second and Third Box have a slightly different structures. One has an option for an Icon and a link and the other has a hard title of “More Information” and an option for a link. Is there a benefit to having them both work the same knowing how we want to use them?

Hi Patty,
I have added the calendar into the homepage box by pasting in your iFrame. The only issue that may arise is that an iFrame is not mobile responsive, which is why there is a scroll bar within the Calendar box. Other than that, the width seems to be mobile responsive, so that's good!
As for where/how to change the URL in the third box, you were on the right track. The thing to note here is that the second and third boxes are not visual editors, but TEXT editors. This means that instead of copying the image of the calendar from the Calendar page, I copied the HTML text (see images below).
So in order to link to specific posts, you may want to create a draft page in which you create the links, switch to Text editor, copy the code, then use that in the third homepage box.
Once you have this code, it's easy enough to see where the post link would go and where the link text goes. Then, you can simply copy this code layout to use in the future.
Let me know if you have questions and want to go through it together,

Hi, Veronica. I was out sick the past two days and am just catching up. Thank you for the education; I think I understand what you wrote for how to handle when there isn’t the Visual versus Text tabs I am used to with a widget. So little time, so much to learn! ☺
I will plan to delve further in anticipation of our 11am call on Tuesday, Feb 19.
Have a good weekend.

Hi Patty,
My 10:00 am meeting went WAY over and I am just now getting back to my desk.
Would you like me to call now or is there a better time?

No problem, Veronica. Catherine Crawford and I talked through a few things. Would it be possible to reschedule for Friday morning at 10am as we have a big calendar scheduling meeting on Thursday and I need to wrap up prep for that (and we’re supposed to have ice storm tomorrow).

Oh goodness! I hope no one loses power and the roads are safe tomorrow.
I have a meeting from 9:30-10:30 on Friday morning, but can call you right after. This time, I'll be sure to watch the click and have a hard stop time so that I don't miss our call again.
Again, I am so sorry about that, Patty.

Hi, Veronica. So I just clicked on the footer link to PayPal and I got the error we were getting a few weeks ago when we tried to put the URL on a separate page.

Good morning Patty,
Well, darn. I thought maybe we had figured it out. If you do want a link in the footer, I suggest adding a link that goes to a page on your website. On that page, give a brief explanation of what the ROOTED Service Project is, where the money goes, and then add the iFrame/embedded PayPal link below it.
Also, as a side note, the developer will be working on your website today, so if you see something that looks funny, please be sure to do a hard refresh (hold down control and click F5).
Thanks, Patty!
