Content¶
The content section allows us to control the navigation menu, content pages, news and editorial team in Janeway.
The nav controller and CMS system will be overhauled as part of 1.4.
Content¶
The Content Manager is Janeway’s CMS. Pages can be created an edited using our rich text editor.

Add a New Page¶
To add a new page to your journal select “+ Add New Page”. A new page requires the following:
- Name
- This is the name of the page for the URL bar e.g. privacy-policy or author-guidelines. This field should not have any spaces in it.
- Display Name
- The proper name for the page that will be displayed in the navigation e.g. Privacy Policy or Author Guidelines
- Content
- HTML content, you should avoid pasting in from a text editor like Word as it will copy random styling across that will ignore your stylesheets
Once a new page has been created you will find it is available at https://yoururl.com/site/name e.g. https://orbit.openlibhums.org/site/privacy
Edit a Page¶
From the Content page you can see a list of the pages currently on your journal. To edit one, click on its title and the edit/delete buttons will appear. Select edit to make changes.
Delete a Page¶
As above click on the title and then the edit/delete buttons will appear. Press Delete to remove the page.
News Manager¶
The news manager allows you to create news items, assign display and take down dates and upload images to display alongside them.
News items can also displayed in the carousel.
To add a new news item select the News Manager. The interface displays exiting news items on the left and a form for adding new items on the right.
