Creating content and setting the audienceCZEN members can post content to any group to which you are a member. Each group has a homepage where a group description and group content can be found. The group homepage provides 3 elements: group description/attributes, group block and group content. Creating ContentAudienceContent posted on CZEN.org can be private (one or more groups) and/or public (no group association required). These post viewing permissions are controlled by selecting the appropriate audience when the content is posted.
Public - Select 'public' if you want the general public visiting the website to see your post. If you do not select public, the content will be private and only available to logged in members of the groups you have selected as the audience. No emails will be sent when selecting 'public'. I often select 'public' and at least one other group. YOUR GROUP - You should always select YOUR GROUP. This will make it available to logged in members of YOUR GROUP. The content will be listed under the YOUR GROUP page. If it is also marked public it will be visiable to non-logged in users. Other Group - Select any toher group you wish to have your post cross listed with. Content TypesSeveral content types are available for group subscribers to create. Create the following content types by clicking one of the Create links in the group block. Most content types can have attached files. Announcement - a simple post. Bibliography - Maintains list of bibliographies including journal articles, conference preceedings, posters, books, proposals... Dataset - Datasets can be attached as files. Event - An event is a post which can be given a start and end date, thus appearing in the events calendar. Image - An image (with thumbnail). This is ideal for publishing photographs or screenshots. Job - Job announcement Link - External Link Poll - A poll is a multiple-choice question which visitors can vote on. |
