What does it do?
The Social Media Account content type allows users to feature a social media account related to a group, individual, or organization. This content type enables the linking or showcasing of social media profiles, providing visibility for accounts on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others. It helps integrate social media presence into the UC ANR site, making it easier for visitors to follow or engage with specific accounts.
Basic Social Media Account Sections
- Title (Required): T The title of the social media account, which is used to generate the page's URL and display in the site navigation and breadcrumbs.
- Social Media Network: A dropdown menu where you can select the relevant social media platform (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). This helps identify the platform being featured.
- Handle: The social media handle or username of the account (e.g., @UCANR), providing clear identification of the account being featured.
- URL: The direct link to the social media profile. This is where users will be directed when they click on the social media account link.
- Body: A WYSIWYG editor where the main content of the page is written. This section supports rich text, including formatting options like headers, lists, links, and media embeds. If no summary is provided, the body’s first 600 characters will be used as the default teaser in relevant listings.
- Counties: Tags that help categorize the account by geographic location (e.g., Alameda), making it easier to find accounts related to specific counties.
- Programs: Tags that categorize the account by program (e.g., Master Gardeners). This allows users to easily locate accounts associated with specific UC ANR programs.
- Research & Extension Centers (RECs): Tags that associate the account with a specific research or extension center (e.g., Kearney REC).
- Statewide Account Slider: A toggle that allows you to indicate whether this social media account represents a statewide presence or is limited to a specific county or region. This helps distinguish local accounts from broader, statewide efforts.
Side Navigation
- Menu Settings: Allows you to control how and where the page appears within the site’s navigation structure with:
- Menu Link Title: The title for the page that will appear in the site’s navigation menu. This can differ from the page’s title if desired.
- Description: An optional description for the link. This description can provide additional context for users when they hover over the link in the menu.
- Parent Link: A dropdown that allows you to select where this page fits within the existing menu structure. By choosing a parent link, you place this page under a broader category or section.
- Weight: Determines the order in which this page will appear relative to other pages in the same menu. A lower weight will move the link closer to the top of the list, while a higher weight will push it further down.
- *For Group Admin Role Only* - Simple XML Setups: Provides configuration options for including your content in the sitemap for search engine optimization (SEO). This ensures your content is indexed and prioritized correctly by search engine bots.
- Priority determines how important this content is compared to other pages on the site. The default value is 0.5.
- Change Frequency indicates how often the content changes. This helps search engines decide how frequently to re-crawl it. The default is set to "daily."
- Include Images allows you to specify whether images within the content should be included in the sitemap. By default, this is set to "No."
