How to add Links to the Microsite Header/Navigation Block

Introduction

Updating the header of the Microsite to include other links can allow for a more integrated experience with users. If there are other websites you want users to easily visit beyond the library home page, adding them to the header is a good way to do this. It can also be combined with the Tag feature to collect the tagged webinar pages into a central location for users to visit. More information on tagging webinars can be found here.

Adding a Single Link to the Header

To add links to the header, click on Account Settings inside the Admin Menu. At the bottom of the page is the Navigation Customization Block. Enter in the URL for the tag you want as follows: {Title,URL} Then add whether you want to have the link open in a new or same tab. If you want it in the same window add {Title,URL,_self} and if you want to open in a new window add {Title,URL,_blank}. For example, a final result might be: {This is a Tag,https://libraryc.org/brandman/upcoming,_self} which opens in the same window or {This is also a tag, https://libraryc.org/brandman/tags/events/test,_blank} which opens in a different window.

The link will then appear at the top of the page.

Adding Multiple Links to the Header

If you have more than one link to add to the header, just seperate the two links and whether they are opening in the same or different window with a single semi-colon {Title,URL,_self};{Title,URL,_blank} Don’t place a space between the two links. It should look something like this: {Tag Test,https://alumlc.org/brandman/tags/events/this-is-a-url-slug,_blank};{Tag Test 2, https://alumlc.org/brandman/tags/events/test,_self}

Adding a Dropdown Menu to the Header

Adding a dropdown menu can be useful if there are several links or tag pages you want to add. Otherwise, the header can become very cluttered. To create a dropdown, add the title of the dropdown in square brackets surrounding all the URLs you wish to include separated by a comma, like this: [Title of Dropdown,{Title,URL,_blank},{Title,URL,_self}]. For example, [Tag Pages,{Tag Test,https://alumlc.org/brandman/tags/events/this-is-a-url-slug,_self},{Tag Test 2, https://alumlc.org/brandman/tags/events/test,_blank}] This will create a dropdown like this:
