How to Edit:

Use Mozilla for working in the web pages. You can use IE but you may run into quirky problems which do not appear in Mozilla.
Click on the ‘pencil/paper’ icon in the top left corner.

This will take you to edit mode.


NEVER copy and paste into this page from any other resource than Notepad. Wordpad tends to retain some formatting information so do not use wordpad.
For example, if you have content in a word document that you want to put on the site. First copy the content to Notepad and then copy from Notepad to the edit box.

The Menu Bar of the Edit Box:



The website has a CSS (cascading style sheet) which means that the styles for the content are predefined.

Row 1:

The only field needed from the top row is the Styles drop down field.
You may need superscript, subscript, copy, cut and paste but copy, cut and paste work the same way as in a word document (Ctrl-X for cut, Ctrl-C for copy, Ctrl-V for paste).

Row 2:

You can use the two arrows on the left are undo and redo action.

Do not change the justification with the next six icons (this should be set to left and remain there).

You can use the numbering and the buttons – again the styles are predefined.
You can use the next two icons to increase or decrease indentation.
Do not use the text colours or fills.

You can use the ‘add horizontal line’ as needed.

You can use the ‘add table’ as needed .

You can use ‘enlarge the editor’ to make it easier to work with the edit box.

The following icons are special cases and need further instruction:

Insert a web link

Insert an image

Inserting a Web Link :




If the website is external:

You can copy and paste the url into the “Manually Enter Address” section. Be sure the “Target” under “Additional Link Options” is set to “New window” or users will have to use the back arrow and may lose their login.

If the web page is internal:

You can use link to a page which will display the site hierarchy and then you select the page.


Or link to content which will display the “Site Content Selector” and you click on the of the content you want to use. Be careful, this page looks the same as the one you are working on.

If you have a document that you would like to upload to the site, the preferred format for these documents is PDF. PDFs take up less space than other formats. There is a size limit to the files that are uploaded to the site. You must first upload it to the Resource Manager located on the right side of the screen.



Click on “Upload Resource”.



It is best to use a file name that is the same as the file you upload, however, do not have spaces (use underscores instead) in the “Name”. You can select where in the sidebar menu you would like to put the file using the “Position” drop down list.

Once you have the Resource uploaded, click on the Resource and right click the “Download Resource” button that opens in the next page and select “Copy Link Location”. Go back to the Link in the Editor and paste the copied link location into the URL. The best way to work back and forth is to use the New Tabs in Mozilla/IE.

Rules for Resources:

  • Resource should not be more than 5 MB
  • Preferred format is PDF
  • Do not post email addresses using this method because the @ symbol is used by other companies to send spam. Use the @-icon instead.

Code for @ icon:


<img src="http://www.klaru-baycrest.on.ca/themes/baycresttheme/images/defang.gif" alt="@" />

The easiest way to use this icon is to copy and paste it from one that is already on the site.

Insert/Modify Image :

First, upload the image in the Image Manager located on the right side of the web page.

Go to the Editor and click on the Insert/Modify Image icon.


Click on Browse and go to the image in the Image Manager.

Click on the image and it will appear in the Image Preview.

Click on OK and the image will appear in the Editor.

Rules for Images:

  • size should not be greater than 5 MB
  • images should be jpg format
  • for profile images, the image pixels are 96x96 (these can be resized in an image editor)
  • If image is too large, the image will have a link to “view image” otherwise it will show in the image manager

The Toggle Html icon is for the Webmasters . This is used for analyzing the code and adding the code for things like drop lists.

Code for Drop Lists:

<h3><a title="View more" href="javascript:toggleLayer('kinfo14');"><img src="iconset/add.gif" alt="View more" /></a> more</h3>
<div class="hidden fancy" id="kinfo14">
CONTENT
</div>

Note that the (‘kinfo##’) and id=”kinfo##” need to have the same unique number. kinfo=klaru info

Code for Drop Addresses:

Heading:<br /><a title="View contact information" href="javascript:toggleLayer('contact13');"><img src="iconset/add.gif" alt="View more" /></a> <a href="http://url" target="_blank">Title for Url</a>
<address class="hidden address" id="contact13">
Address 1<br />
Address 2<br />
Address 3<br />
Address 4<br />
Phone: number<br />
Fax: number<br />
Email: pre<img alt="@" src="http://www.klaru-baycrest.on.ca/themes/baycresttheme/images/defang.gif" />post
<br />URL Link <a target="_blank" href="http://url.html">Title</a><br /></address><br />

Note that the (‘contact##’) and id=”contact##” need to have the same unique number.

NOTE: The + icon may be changed to something a little more professional looking.

If you believe you know of a Resource that would be helpful to all of Klaru, please discuss it with the webmaster and he will put it on a central resource page. The more ideas you provide, the better your website will become. Please be sure to let the webmaster know if this information is available to everyone (internal and external to Klaru), just Klaru members, Klaru and Rotman, etc… as the permissions are set for each Parent Page.

If you would like a Forms lesson, please let the webmaster know.
