Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie let's go create a Contacts Page. We have our contacts. Now we just need to add a page so people can actually get a hold of whoever they need to. Remember, no contact information on a website usually is a red flag for anyone who uses it so make sure you add your contact information. What we're going to do is go to the Menu Manager and right here is our Main Menu. Let's add our contact information there. So let's go click on the Menu Items and edit that and right now Home is on our menu but we want to add another new option so I'm going to click on New. Here's Categories because it's an internal link and we have the category layout and we have a standard contact layout. This lists one at a time; this lists everybody in a screen. Let's start with that one so you can see what it looks like. I'm going to leave everything as its default. I'm going to select Corporate and it says it was saved. Let's go over here and preview and there's Contacts on the Main Menu and there's the president listed under name, position, phone, anything else that I want listed there. Let's go back and add another menu item. Let's do Contacts again. Let's do a standard layout so you can see what that looks like and this one, remember, we had a different category. We called him our Site Contact. So let's put that there. If you scroll down the basic information, it's public level access. Typically that's what you need. And this one I'm going to put the PR marketing person. Whether or not I want the drop-down menu, I'm going to show that, if I want to show the category and the breadcrumbs of the top. Here are some parameters right here, the different icons that we can use, whether or not we want to show the fax number down here. I can hide that because if on the global parameters, remember the setting that's up here in the previous menu? Maybe that is on by default. And then, of course, you've got your system parameters that you can look at if you want to put a page title in there, et cetera. I'm going to save this. It tells me it was saved so I've got two new options on my menu. I'll go over here, I'm going to hit refresh, still have my Corporate Contacts. I'm going to look at my Site Contacts. See right here? I've got that and I can e-mail them automatically. Nice and easy to work with. Now I can always go back and add more to my contacts or I can edit my contacts. Save this one. I want to call it Business Contacts. Make it a little more obvious for the people that are using it. I can change that, go over here, refresh and there we go. I can also go in and add new contacts at any time that I want to, just go to Components, Contacts, select that, add a new person any time you want. I'll put a vice president in there. I'm not going to link him to a user right now. I'll show the e-mail over there, nothing else right now, go ahead and save it. That automatically puts it, remember, in the database. Now I'll go over here, refresh my page and there's the vice president. So when you click on that, that's when it takes you to that little menu or where you can fill out the form and contact them on this one. Now, remember, this other layout, the standard, just automatically takes you to the one. Now, it will give you a drop-down menu if you have more site contacts in there so you can choose at the top up here who you want to select to be able to have this form. So it's up to you. A lot of times I think it's easier of they just see a big list and can decide who they need to talk to versus the other layout, sometimes they may not notice at the top that they can select different people. Now, if you only have one person that you're going to allow contact to, then I would just use that standard layout, give them the form, let them contact somebody. They don't have to make any choices. Sometimes that is also a lot easier for people. So take a minute, go make your contacts, create your contact link on your menu and see what you can do with your contacts and Contacts Page.
