The ATDW module will automatically sync attractions from ATDW into OpenCities using the OC Tourist Attraction content type. You can also create these pages via the site tree; synced OC Tourist Attraction pages have the same functionalities as those made within OpenCities.
To create or update an attraction page:
- If you're creating from scratch, right-click in the site tree where you want to make the page and select Create Page.
- Select OC Tourist Attraction as the content type. If you're editing an existing page, navigate to the OC Tourist Attraction page in your site tree which you want to edit, and select Update.
- Make your changes to the page fields. Please note that you cannot alter the content in the WYSIWYG Editor or other locked fields.
- Preview and Publish your page when you're ready.
Some fields are locked and cannot be edited in OpenCities, so you can keep the content between ATDW and OpenCities consistent. All locked fields must be updated in ATDW, which will then update in OpenCities on the next sync. Unlocked fields will not update at the next sync.
What to include on your OC Tourist Attraction page
You can use the following information to update your OC Tourist Attraction page fields. Any locked fields are indicated as such.
For newly created pages, there are two WYSIWYG Editors available to create content. The main body content editor can be accessed from the blue area of the template image, while the other can be accessed by selecting Attraction activities, facilities, accessibility information from the WYSIWYG Editor dropdown menu. Content in either WYSIWYG Editor will appear in the main content area.
