I sent you a previous email with the Development Link for the site and to schedule a training time sometime soon. I know with the current situation with the recent outbreak things have been difficult and a little chaotic, but we can still do the trainings if you would like to keep this process moving.

Things We Need From You
We do still need some information from you, if possible. Otherwise, we can simply remove these items from the main menu and website.

Training
The first training session typically takes ~2 hours and is done remotely via Diocesan's screen share program. We will send over the meeting link and phone number to dial in in a subsequent email. 

During the training sessions, we go over:

Since this can be a lot, we break the training down into two sessions:

This is completely up to your learning pace and how much you feel comfortable covering at once. 

Here is the link to the development site:

Please let me know what dates and times work best for the training or if you have any other questions,

Hello Fr. Barr,

Thank you for sending those images!

I will make a note to discuss with the developer and the designer how best to display staff without images.

Please let me know when you would like to set up the first training on the website!

Thank you,

Hello Fr. Barr,

I have a training that ends at 1pm EST next Thursday (scheduled it right after my earlier email), would it be possible to push it back to 1:30 PM EST instead, in case the earlier training runs a little long.

Let me know if that works!

Thank you,

Good Morning Father,

We are in the Eastern Time Zone and I believe you are in Central, so I set it to 12:30 for you and 1:30 for me, being an hour ahead.

Let me know if you have any questions!

If she is going to have admin ability, then having her in the first meeting would be the best. I didn't have her email, but I can add her to the Basecamp project, so she will be included in all future correspondence.

Alternatively, you can forward her the email with the training information.

Just let me know what you would like to do and we'll proceed from there.

Thank you,

Hello Fr. Barr and Dee Dee,

I am open this Friday, 11 AM - 12 AM EST, 10 AM - 11 AM for training since I am assuming you want to at least start it in the morning, otherwise, I can send you my times for next week. 

I included the link to the training in the email with your user accounts. 

Also, it seems that the email listed for Ann, apeters@stjosephstmary.com, did not work to send her her login and password. Can you please let me know what her correct email address is so that I may send it again?

Thank you,

Hello Father, 

Let me know what everybody else says and then I will schedule it.

I did take Ann's email off the website, but it bounced back, so I was curious if there was a better email to reach her or if I should try again and maybe it was a server issue or something. Please verify that this is the correct email for Ann: apeters@stjosephstmary.com.

Thank you,

Hello Father,

Thank you for the new email. Nothing seems to have been bounced back yet, so I am cautiously optimistic that it worked.

Hello Fr. Barr and Dee Dee,

Just for clarification purposes, is that 11AM EST or CDT. I will set it up accordingly.

Hey Mary,

It looks like the trail ran cold with the domain transfer, so this might be a good time to see if he has gotten any farther with it. 

Here is the Domain transfer email: Domain Transfer - Joseph & Mary - Freeport, IL for Joseph and Mary Freeport Staff

Thank you,

Cody

Thanks, Cody -
I depend on the Launch calendar to know the plan for when things are launching and I check that a couple of times a month.

I like to try the transfers 1-2 weeks before launch at most because of the number of times making the move too early has negatively affected the church's email, etc.

--Mary

Father Barr,
I requested a "transfer code" for the domain through WordPress.  You should receive an email with a code in it soon.

When you receive that email, could you please forward it to webdepartment@diocesan.com?

Thank you,

Mary

Hello Fr. Barr,

Which link are you referring to? The login page is this one: https://stjosephstmary.diocesanweb.org/wp-login.php?itsec-hb-token=freeport

Or was it the recording from the second training, in which case, it is this one: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sIMjQuKa055b4_74Fl2Hn-wSJqnWgHU2?usp=sharing

Let me know if it is a different one. It looks like there is already an RCIA registration form, but you can always edit it too.

Thank you,

Hello Fr. Barr,

Awesome news about the video, just send it over when you are finished with it.

1. To live stream, you would need to use another service for that, e.g. Facebook or YouTube, but you can link to it from your website, definitely.

2. In the menus, there is a category type on the right side under Pages and Posts, you can add one of those Post categories to the menu and name it how you want. You can then use that category to link to Posts that contain the links or YouTube embeds to your videos. Using YouTube(videos), Facebook(videos), Soundcloud(audio) for your media/homilies will save considerable space on your site. I would just name the post something like Mass - May 18, 2020 and then have the YouTube embed or Facebook video showing up. You can pull the embed code from Facebook too. 

3. Can you please clarify this question please? I am not sure what this is asking.

Thank you,

Cody Armock

Hello Fr. Barr,

You can reference this for the CSS Custom Classes by looking here. Then you add it to the CSS Custom Class field under the Appearance tab of the Field.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Cody Armock

Yeah,

There were two of them, you may want to rename or trash the other one. Just a suggestion. Glad you found it.

Cody Armock

Hello Fr. Barr,

I think the easiest would be separating them into sections, so Marriage 1, Marriage 2, etc. with duplicates of the associated fields and then you can have either a number field asking number of previous marriages before the sections or you can have a radio at the end of each asking if they need to input another and then yes or no and doing conditional logic on the section that way. I recommend the number field method and then on each of the Section fields, doing conditional logic where you show the section if the number of marriage is great than one less than the section, while always showing the first if they are married. 

I hope that makes sense.

Also, you may want to look into using the admin field labels in the advanced tab. They can be a big help and keep you sane instead of seeing 20 fields with the same name. Basically, admin field labels will only be visible to people editing or exporting the form, but the user/visitor won't see it.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Cody Armock

Web Department, Diocesan

877-923-0777

Hello Father, 

It looks like the field was renamed in the Admin Field Label and so I found it under that name for the conditional logic. If you want you can go ahead and switch them around, as I would imagine that Admin Field Label is a little misleading, but that was the issue. (See screenshots below)

Thank you for sending me the video. I have added it to the Our Parishes Page which you can get to from the menu.

Hello Fr. Barr,

I just replaced the YouTube Block on the Our Parishes. For any future updates of the video, you can just replace the link there with the new youtube link.

Thank you,

Hello Fr.,

I have added the necessary things onto the Sacraments pages for Anointing and Confession, this can be done by editing the accordion on that page for the appropriate sacrament. 

As for the form, you can limit the number of entries to ten total entries and then you once you have that form, you can then duplicate it for each day of the week and then once the mass is done, you can then export the entries to a CSV file if you want, and then delete the entries to be used again for next week.

Thank you,

Cody Armock

Hello Fr. Barr,

I am glad that you were able to figure the consent field out.

For the Wedding Policies, you can go to the Sacraments page and then open the Accordion for "Marriage" then you can go to wherever you want to add the PDF link in the text with your cursor, and then click Add Media button above and add your PDFs there, one at a time works best. You will need to add media once for St. Joseph's and once for St. Mary's. Then you can adjust the text of the link and I would recommend clicking the "Edit Pencil" and then the link settings (the Cog) and click Open in New Tab. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
