For LiveWhale help, we are offering “office hours” now each Wednesday morning at the Dubach Mac Lab.  And occasional Fridays at the law school computer lab.

How to add your events into the LiveWhale content management system

There are several exciting things we can do with LiveWhale galleries.

The right sidebar menus are a part of the template and so can be edited only by the Web administrators in New Media (or the Web developer at the law school).  Simply drop us an email stating what the new link should be and where it should link (including if it is a top-level menu item or a part of a sub-navigation).

Information on how to add pages.  Making a new page is fairly simple:
- click “manage your content”
- click “pages”
- click “browse”
- add a subdirectory
- add a page: index.php
- use template: “generic inside page” / uncheck “clear contents”

Information about editing pages.

You can log into LiveWhale at http://www.lclark.edu/livewhale or at the bottom of most pages at the “edit this page” link. 

You can watch a short video about managing downloads (PDFs, MS Word documents, etc.).

An overview to how and why we can share news stories in LiveWhale.

What do the various tabs that can show up on my control center mean?

LiveWhale divides our content into separate manageable areas called groups.  Groups are roughly analogous to offices, departments, programs, etc. You need to be in the right group to edit its content.

Information about what news tags are and how they work

If someone suggests a story to you or your group, what happens?
