    • To add an extra module beyond the two that are auto populated (Career Center and Connect to the USD School of Law), simply click the green plus sign, as demonstrated by the following screenshot.
    • Each module has three high level pieces of info:
      • Title
      • Link (for the user to learn more information on our website)
      • Link text (what you want that link to say)
    • Within each module you can have up to 2 rows of content. Each row has:
      • Title
      • Sub-title
      • Image (105x90)
      • Image link (if you want it to link to somewhere on the web)
      • Image description (alt)
      • Content (HTML formatted stuff)
    • NOTE: each Docket will default the first two Extra Modules as the following, but you can change any of it as you see fit.
      • Career Center
      • Connect to the USD School of Law
  • Submit
    • Click Submit
    • The Docket issues are set to auto-publish, so you don't have to wait for any technical or content review like your other web pages.
    • To view your new edition on the website, from within Cascade just click on the Live tab when in View mode of your new page. It will provide you with a URL of where your new page lives.
    • As soon as you are happy with your new Docket, submit a publish request for http://www.sandiego.edu/law/alumni/publications/docket/index.php via our web form at http://www.sandiego.edu/law/forms/communications/web-request.php. Until your publish request is made, the index page for the Docket will continue to pull in your previous edition.

BlueHornet

  • In Firefox or Chrome, load your latest Docket that you just published., http://www.sandiego.edu/law/alumni/publications/docket/YYYY-MM.php where YYYY-DD is the current issue you're working on.
     
  • Once your Docket loads, right click in the content area of the page and choose Inspect Element.


  • Another pane in your browser tab appears. This pane will show you the HTML structure of your page. You'll notice several TR tags that have class="copy-for-bluehornet". These are the rows we'll copy into our BlueHornet Docket template.


  • In another tab, log in to BlueHornet
  • Go to Message -> Create Message
     
  • Fill out the first screen's details as normal. Remember to choose Basic Test Message under Message Type.
  • Click Next
     
  • On this next screen, make sure to apply the Docket template in the WYSIWYG


  • Now go into the Source view within the WYSIWYG


  • Find the row in the source code that says <!-- ### place docket content here ### -->
     
  • Erase that row and one by one copy and paste from your other browser tab all of the TRs with class="copy-for-bluehornet", being careful to place one after the other in the order they should appear. 
    • You can copy a TR by right clicking on that TR in the Inspect Element window and choosing Copy. 
    • After copying just switch tabs back to BlueHornet and paste in the appropriate location within the Source view.
    • Be sure to copy and paste every TR with this class
    • Periodically click the Source button to see your Docket in design mode to make sure you are appropriately pasting in the TRs.

       
  • Once you are done pasting in your rows, and while still in Source view, you will need to update the month and year in two locations. Search for October 2014 and update it with the current month and year. 
     
  • Switch out of Source view, then finish out the Docket settings in BlueHornet then Send, starting with a Basic Test Message until you are satisfied.
