dotCMS Tips
There are many ways you can use the CMS to make your pages interesting, interactive, and engaging. Find out how you can add galleries, random images, striped tables, and more!
Image Collections
Looking for a great, professional photo of Marywood students, faculty, or landmarks? All of our content editors have access to a "global" folder with these hand-chosen images. When logged into the system, click the global folder, then the images folder, to find them. Learn more.
Paste from Word
The"Paste from Word" button allows you to paste text into the CMS right from Microsoft Word without losing your formatting. If you paste text from Word and don't use the button, the content on your page may be mangled or even invisible to visitors using Internet Explorer.
Resizing Photos
Photos taken with a digital camera need to be resized on the website. Find out why and how to resize them.
Showcase
Check our our Web Design Showcase to see what we've been up to. Here you'll find our most recent projects and you may get some ideas for your own site from looking at it.
Token Words
When adding new content to your page, use a token word to make it department-specific. That way, if you accidentally delete it you'll have an easier time recovering it. Make sure you use the same token for all of your content pieces.
Under Nav Feature Block
Our new "Smart" template allows you to add a block underneath your navigation and have it appear on ALL pages of your site automatically. If you don't already have it, contact us to set one up. This is great for marketing important dates, deadlines, or event announcements.
