Parts of the template are configurable by the site maintainers using specially-named or formed content elements. These special content elements will be retrieved from a Storage page in the root of the Web site.
Do not delete the Storage page from your site. Doing so will break those template parts immediately (when the delete is published) and re-creating a new page called Storage will not repair the template. If this occurs, you should submit a help request to have the site template re-created.
Only footer content elements will be inserted in the
Storage page by default. Additional content elements may be added
to alter the template, as detailed below.
The order of elements within this page is not significant, but changing the header field of these elements from the specified labels (such as FOOTER1) will render that content element unavailable from the template. Changing the name back to the correct header will correct the problem. Likewise, if you delete the content element, you can re-create it with the same header label.
The graphic at right shows the Storage folder of the www.ndsu.edu/cms site. Note that there is an added TOPNAV content element, which contains a list of links to use as the top navigation for the site.
Depending on the site/template, the behavior or appearance of modifications to these content elements may vary. Note that in most cases, only www.ndsu.edu behavior is explicitly noted here, though it may apply to other sites as well.
To update the footer content of a site,
Note that, per University Relations
guidelines, footers must contain:
1. Site manager: (link to contact/page)
2. Published by (department/unit name)
3. Department/unit name
4. Phone/Fax: (701) 231-xxxx
5. Physical location
6. Mailing address
Last updated time will be automatically inserted at the beginning
of the left footer.
Please limit each footer to 4-5 lines.
To update top navigation links if a site is configured with custom navigation (includes all www.ndsu.edu sites)
Create an unordered list (a.k.a. bullet list)
containing one link per list item, or update the links as
appropriate (see format note, below)To revert to the default navigation, hide or delete the TOPNAV content element in the Storage folder.
The formatting of the link list is significant to its display in the site. Examples of what can go wrong include

Inserting list of links not in an unordered
(bullet) list

Inserting list of links on one line separated
by colons
