Categories

Most of the pages, stories and articles on the site will be placed into a certain category to aid organisation, and browsability.

Each page type can be placed in different categories, for example:

  • an event can be placed in the Events category, in either 'Notices' or 'Other'
  • a directory entry can be placed in one of 'Friends', 'Members', 'Elders' or 'Places' in the Directory section.

Articles use the categories extensively to provide a method of indexing articles, and creating the blocks on the front page of the site displaying the article categories and the 'Latest Articles'.

The site map also uses the categories to display a full site index.

Information on managing categories can be found in the help section on Managing Categories.
