Create an OC Project Page

OC Project pages provide a template to showcase the works and projects your council or city is undergoing.

OC Project pages have several useful built-in fields, particularly the ability to add announcements that show at the top of the page and in listings. The fields under the Project details accordion menu will be pulled into an overview table at the top of the page.

The project page also has a WYSIWYG Editor, so you can provide a detailed explanation, images, or maps of the project.

Create a Project Page

1. Right-click in the site tree where you want to create the page. We recommend creating all your OC Project pages under your listing page, to make it easier to find and update them.
2. Choose Create page.
3. Select OC Project as the content type.
4. Select a page template from the Template Name drop-down menu.
5. Fill out the necessary fields on the page.
6. Add any additional information in the WYSIWYG Editor.
7. Publish the page.

What to Include on Your Project Page

• Page name: Completes the unique page URL.
• Project name: The name of the project displayed in search results, listing pages, and at the top of the project page.
• Add project summary: A brief overview of the project for listing pages and search results.
• Add project image: Main image for the project page. On both templates, this image will show wrapped by any text entered in the WYSIWYG Editor. Leaving this field blank will push the text out to fill the entirety of the main text area.
• Project details
  • Add project completion date: Set an end date for the project.
  • Project type: Enter a project type, "Roadwork" or "Construction," for example.
  • Project value: Enter a dollar value for the project.
  • Project schedule: Enter a project schedule or status update.
  • Contractor name: Enter the name of the contractor being used for this project.
• Location details
  • Street address: Street location for Google maps. You must have something in this field to display the map.
  • Locality: Suburb of project for Google maps.
  • Postal code: Post code or ZIP code of the project for Google maps.
  • Latitude longitude (in decimal "lat, lon" format): The latitude and longitude to determine the project's location on a map. You can add this yourself, or it will be automatically generated from the street address when the page is published. We recommend manually entering the lat/long for locations that don't have a fixed address, but you must still have something in the Street address field to display the map. This will drop a map pin at the coordinates you specify.
    Note: If you are adding this manually, please ensure the More > Site Management > your site > Settings > Location > Overwrite lat/long values when the page is published setting is set to No. 
• Contact details
  • Contact name: Name of contact person or organization.
  • Contact phone number: Phone number of the contact person or organization.
  • Alternate phone number: Alternate phone number of the contact person or organization.
  • Contact email: Email of the contact person or organization.
  • Project website (starting with http:// or https://): Website URL for the project.
• Temporary announcement
  • What kind of announcement is this?: Select from Temporary Closure, Announcement, or Warning.
  • Add an announcement: Add text for the announcement. Temporary announcements will show at the top of the project page below the title and on the listing page.
• Supporting information
  • Additional side panels (Only for templates with side panels): Add additional side panel content using a WYSIWYG Editor. Use the field provided to name the panel and the edit button to open the WYSIWYG Editor.
    Note: When using the OC Full Width template, any side panel content will not be visible. Additionally, when viewed on a mobile device, side panel content will fall to the bottom of the page.
  • Add supporting images: Project-related images for an image gallery on the project page.
  • Add supporting links: Project-related internal/external links.
  • Add supporting documents: Project-related documents.
  • Add common search terms people would use when looking for this project: Project keywords or metadata to boost the page in search results.
  • Content labels: These labels organize your content internally (i.e., your site visitors won't see the labels). You can make content lists using these content labels.

OC Project pages can also be used with the MyArea map. Your community can enter their address into the MyArea page you've created and see any ongoing works and projects around them.
