Search Bar

The Search Bar is always available in the top right corner of your web browser when logged in to Cascade.

Using search, you can quickly navigate to content blocks, pages, and documents by entering keywords, titles, and names. Click the search bar to reveal and navigate to recent assets.

Many of your pages are interior pages, which use a WYSIWYG editor to input content.

Pasting text from an application such as Microsoft Word or Google Documents is easy.

Copy+Paste for Windows/PC

CTRL + C to copy, then CTRL + V to paste.

Copy+Paste for Mac

Command + C to copy, then Command + V to paste.

When you paste your text, it might appear sloppy in the Cascade WYSIWYG editor.

It is highly recommended that you use the Paste as Text option located in the Edit dropdown menu.

Copy and Pasting from Microsoft Word

Use the format menu and click the Clear formatting option shown below.

This removes extraneous styling tags that might cause your text to show up differently than you intend.

There are several types of links to send your readers around the web.

Internal link

The internal link sends your reader to another part of your website.

To link to an internal page or file that exists in Cascade, select the text you'd like to link and click on the Link icon:

Click Choose File, Page, or Link, then navigate to the page or document you wish to link to.

When choosing an internal link asset, there are several options.

1. Choose an asset that was recently referenced in the list below, or
2. Browse through all available assets.

The Recent assets tab is selected by default. Click on the Browse tab in order to bring up the asset browser.

Select a link by clicking on the radio button (gray circle) to the left.

Once you have selected your link, click the "Choose" button.

Last, insert the link with the bottom right button:

External links

Choose External, then paste in the full URL.

Email address link

Choose the External link option. In the address box, type mailto: followed by the email address:

Example: mailto:person@emory.edu

Remove a link

Select the link you wish to remove, then click the Remove Link button

Shortcodes allow images or content blocks to be imported into a WYSIWYG interface.

Shortcodes must be entered in a specific format to work. They must begin with "[!" have lowercase content and end with "!]".

Shortcodes begin with...

[!

Then proceed with lowercase text...

imgblock

And close with...

!]

Example: [!imgblock!]

Try to be descriptive with the content that names the shortcode so that it's easier to figure out which block might have been used when editing the page later.

Shortcode names can only container numbers and letters - no special characters, including dashes (-) and underscores (_).

To include shortcodes in the WYSIWYG, select Yes next to Include Shortcodes.

Select the Type: Block or Image

Display Style:

• No Wrap - content will not display around block or image regardless of display width percentage.
  
• Content wrapped right - content will wrap to the right of the block or image.
  
• Content wrapped left - content will wrap to the left of the block or image.
  

Display Width:

• 100: block or image will display at 100% width.
• 75: block or image will display at 75% width.
• 50: block or image will display at 50% width.
• 25: block or image will display at 25% width.
• auto: block or image will display at 100% width.

In the Shortcode field, enter in the exact code that was used in the content. This is how the block will map to that point on the page.

Image - If Image was selected, choose the image file  and navigate to the image in the  /_includes/images folder. Select whether the image will have a caption and fill out the caption information if so.

Block - If block was selected, select the block in Cascade under /_content. 

This example shows a shortcode inserted into a content block with the Display Style set to content wrap to the right and the Display Width set to 50%.

Multiple Shortcodes can be included in the WYSIWYG. Simply add another shortcode in the content editor, click the green plus icon and add another block or image for that shortcode.

Submitting Your Page

Click "Save & Preview" in the top right corner of the pop-up window.

If you're satisfied with your changes, click the blue Submit button. Optionally, add a brief description in the small pop-up box describing your addition or edit - this will appear on your page's version history. If you'd like to discard your changes, use the Discard button

If you'd like to bypass the Save and Preview step, you can use the dots icon to directly submit your changes. 

If you are satisfied with your page, you must Publish it to go live. Learn How

Tips for Images

Text on Images

Generally an image should be a visual enhancement of text content and images should not contain text themselves. Images of fliers, for example, should not be used as they contain text that would not be readable by anyone using a screen reader.

In the example above, there are several accessibility issues:

• A vision-impaired user would not get any of the information about the event listed on the image
• A user with a slow connection or who has disabled images from loading on the page would not get any information about the event listed
• This image contains a link in an alternate color that a user might think was clickable
• The contrast between the text colors and background may not be sufficient for users who are colorblind.

In general, please do not upload images of fliers or any other text-heavy images to a site. If you want to link to a flier, you can upload it as a PDF and link to it from your site. 

Image Sizes

Generally an image should be sized to the exact specifications provided in this document before it is uploaded to Cascade. Large images can slow the loading of a page, especially for those on mobile without access to a wireless connection. Do not upload any image exceeding 2000px wide. 

Using a vertical image inside a horizontal space

Often, portraits are taken vertically, and despite using a high-quality or high-resolution image, a vertical portrait simply cannot be made to fit into a horizontal space.

In the example below, the image size is 1536x1920.

The issues:

• Much of the image is cropped out in the top and bottom
• The subject's face is too close to the viewer
• The subject's head and chin are cut off the frame

Using a small image in a large space

Small images cannot be blown up to appear in a large space. The image must be stretched beyond its limits to fill the frame, resulting to a significant decrease in image quality.

In the example below, the image size is 300x200.

Add a Page

Let's go over the basic input fields you will need to fill out in order to populate your pages with custom content.

Page Name

When you create a new page, you assign a Page Name to it. This creates the filename for the page.

Page names must:

• be all lowercase
• contain no spaces
• contain no special characters
• separate words with dashes or underscores.(e.g. emory-university-school-of-medicine)

[!displayname!]

Title

The Title field is used in several places. The most visible is at the top of the page over the opener image.  It is also visible at the very top of the browser window.

• Some browsers will only display a portion of the Title.
• Search engines may cut off Title if it is too long.
• The Title is also visible in the right-hand navigation and in the page breadcrumbs.
• Try to keep the Title between 65 and 70 characters.

Be sure your title is concise and clear to best benefit your readers and your SEO.

The homepage is made up of an opener image or slideshow and multiple rows of content blocks.

  	To move an item up or down in the list, click on the up or down arrow icons.
  	To delete an item, click on the X icon.

Content Blocks

Publishing your changes

Once you have finished adding and reviewing your content, the next step is to publish your page(s).

When viewing the page, click on the Publish button, or right click the page in the folder structure and choose Publish. Leave the default options as they are, then hit Submit.

Publish job queue

You may check on the progress of items you publish using the publisher.

Go to the top right menu > Publish Queue to see the status.

 

To confirm when your page has been published, you can go to the Home screen by clicking the Cascade Server logo   and look under the Notifications heading for a confirmation message.

Publish Related Files (Images and Documents)

You may publish an individual page which links to a file such as an image or document. You may also manually publish any individual files if desired.

Reveal Page URL

Under the More menu, click "Live" to access the live URL of the page.

Moving and renaming pages

Warning: moving or renaming pages or files may cause links to break! After you move or rename the asset, check the relationships of your page by clicking More > Relationships. If relationships to other pages exist, you'll want to republish those pages.

Please consider the following before you move or rename:

1. Do not change the Page Name for pages unless it is absolutely essential.
2. Always un-publish the item before renaming it.

Do not rename pages named index. This breaks your website navigation.

Delete a page

Sometimes you just have to get rid of a page and start anew.

Warning: deleting items may cause links to break! Before you delete, check the relationships of your page by clicking More > Relationships. If relationships to other pages exist, you'll want to change those links before deleting the page.

This option will remove the item from the live server first.

Also note: deleting pages named index may cause your navigation bars to break.

To delete an item, click on the More link, and select Delete.

Hit Submit at the bottom of the screen to proceed with deleting your file.

Restore a Deleted Page

If you accidentally delete a needed asset from Cascade, you can check the Trash to restore it.

Access the Trash from the top of the document tree on the left-hand side of the Cascade window.

Navigate the table to find the item(s) you wish to restore, check the box(es), then click the arrow icon on top left of the table:

The asset(s) will immediately be restored.

Restoring Older Versions of Pages

Folder & navigation order

After you create a new page, it’s a good idea to check the folder order for your new page. The menu option you used may dictate what order your page gets created in. In most situations new items will be created last, but you can change this as needed.

The index file for each folder must be at Order #1.

Note: the Base Folder (Name of Website) view in the left column shows the contents in alphabetical order.

1. To see the numeric order of folder contents, right click on your folder and select "view".
2. In the Order column, make sure the page named index is set at position 1. If it is not at 1, move your mouse to the row that contains index to select it, then click on the Move to Top button:
3. To see the numeric order of folder contents, right click on your folder and select "view". Click the "Order" header to view assets by folder order rather than alphabetically.
4. Drag and drop to reorder folder contents.

Please be aware that the folder and page order shown here is what determines the order of links that appear in your side navigation.

Editing Content Blocks

Each page contains the option for content blocks stacked and arranged how you like. 

There are two ways to edit the content contained in Content Blocks:

Add a Content Row

While editing the page, scroll down to view your content row section. Here you will see a green plus icon, a red X icon, and arrows .

Click the green plus icon to add a new row.

Assign a content block to a content row

After adding your content row, assign your content block to the row.

Select Choose Block to bring up the folder browser.

Use the folders to navigate to your content block, then select Choose.

Rearrange the content rows

Simply use the blue up and down arrows to move the content rows around.

Remove a content row

To remove old or irrelevant content from your pages, click the red  icon and your row will disappear.

Removing a row from a page does not delete the content block from the server.
