Here's some information about the process of updating existing pages, creating new pages, and style guidelines. If you have questions about your updates, need to request a change be accepted, or for general web- and Drupal-related questions, please email ugs-cms-admin@utlists.utexas.edu.
Logging in to Drupal
Go to http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/user and login with your UT EID and password.
How to Request Changes
Each time you edit or create a page in Drupal, you must send an email to ugs-cms-admin@utlists.utexas.edu in order for your changes to appear. We will not accept any changes until you email us and say your changes are ready to be published. We can usually accept your edits within a day or two, but if it must be published sooner, please say so in your email.
What Drupal Contributors Can Do
Though some aspects of page editing are limited for contributors, a large portion of Drupal updates can be handled by your office's desigated Drupal contributor (or, as they're known in the dean's office, Drupalistas).
On their individual program's pages, Drupalistas can
- Edit existing content in the main body and right sidebars
- Create new pages and add new documents (though UGS-CMS-Admin must publish them before they're visible)
- Add photos and videos to the main body and right sidebars
- Create and manage wikis
Create a New Page or Upload a Document
To create a new page or upload a document, hover over Content Management in the black administrator bar (visible only when you're logged in to Drupal) and then over Create Content. Choose your content type: UGS Page or UGS Document.
You can also upload documents and photos directly to your content page using the File attachments option in your Drupal Edit tab.
What UGS-CMS-Admin Can Do For You
You must email ugs-cms-admin@utlists.utexas.edu to
- Publish changes you've made to existing pages
- Publish new pages and documents you've created
- Edit the left navigation
- Change information in the headers and footers on your pages
- Make changes to programmatic information included on the main UGS site
