Creating notices for NZCN|Noticeboard

By default, all accounts are created so that users cannot upload files to our site. After you submit your notice for review, please contact us so we can help you get your current notice up with a feature image of your ministry and help format your notice.

Your account may be upgraded after you have posted a few notices. When this happens, you will have a few more options available when you are creating your notice. These include:

• ‘Set feature image’
• ‘Add Media’
• ‘Publish’ or ‘Update’

Everyone has the ability to edit or delete notices that have been created on their account.

If you are logged into the site, you will find a black menu bar at the top of the screen. From here you have limited access to the site so that you can either edit or delete notices that you have created.

The simplest method is to already be on the page that displays your full notice. From here, the top black menu will have an item that says ‘Edit Post‘ with an icon of a pencil beside it. Simply click on ‘Edit Post’ and you will be taken directly to the editor so you can make the necessary changes. You can delete the notice by selecting ‘Move to Trash‘ by the blue ‘Submit for Review’ or ‘Publish’ button on the right hand side of the editor.

The other method – which works from any page on the site – is to go directly to site dashboard by clicking  on ‘NZ Christian Network‘ beside the icon of a house in the black menu. Once there, move your cursor down the left menu to ‘Posts‘ with an icon of a thumb tack. You will have the choice to look at a list of all the notices you have posted ‘All Posts‘ or to create a new one ‘Add New’. When the list of your posts appear, hover over the name of the post you wish to edit/delete and select ‘Edit‘ to edit it or ‘Trash‘ to delete it.

To return to the main website, simply click on ‘View Post‘, the ‘Preview‘ button or ‘NZ Christian Network‘ on the top black navigation menu – which will take you back to the home page).

We have installed a feature on our website that protects all email addresses from being harvested by spam robots.

Please advise us if you feel your email address has been compromised by our site.

Click in the edit box where you want your button to be placed and then hover your mouse over the editing buttons, looking for ‘All In One Buttons’ (a dark rectangle with an arrow pointing to it).

Click on it and follow the prompts in the boxes. A preview of your button will appear in the dialogue box.

When you are satisfied that you have everything set the way you want it, Click ‘CREATE BUTTON’ to create the shortcode that will produce your button.

If you want to change anything about your button, you either have to replace the text, following the convention in the shortcode, or delete it and start again.

You can add a YouTube video to your post using  two different methods. The first is simply cutting and pasting the URL to the video into your text. This will result in a left justified video set according to YouTube’s settings. You can align the video or change where it appears by using the ‘Columns’ shortcode generator. See the “How to create a notice” video to see how this is done.

The other method is to use the ‘Insert/edit video’ button in the editor. It looks like a film strip with a play triangle in it. You can paste the YouTube URL in the appropriate spot of the dialogue box and adjust the video dimensions OR you can paste the embed code from YouTube into the box on the ‘Embed’ tab of the ‘Insert/edit video’ dialogue box.
