Configurable Display Order

What to Look For

As you can see below, there is a new "Move" part to the pages in the CMS.  When you move a page up it will trade places with the one above it.  When you move a page down it will trade places with the one below it. 

Display Order Example

Newer Pages at Top

By default when you create a new page it will appear at the top of the list. Of course you can change it.  However, when the display order feature was first added, all pages were put in alphabetical order so that there would be no immediate change.

Pages No Longer Jump to the Top

As it was somewhat confusing to the users, we have changed the CMS so that the navigation for the current page no longer jumps to the top of the side bar navigation.  Instead, it stays in the same place it was as determined by the order you set up in the CMS. 

 

Frank Knox’s accomplishments are extraordinary: From fighting alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and publishing the Chicago Daily News vice presidential candidate in 1936 to Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through it all, the 1912 graduate stayed true to his Alma College roots. His portrait adorns the conference room in the Reid-Knox Administration Building.

Matt Stoneback
Graduation: 2004
Major: Music Education and New Media Studies

Though Matt Stoneback ’04 studied music education at Alma College, his interest in new media studies was so huge, it could have been measured in petabytes.
