User manual for www.universities.aegee.org
Dear user, in order to place information’s regarding your university on the AEGEE-University portal. I have created this manual. If you follow step by step in no time the information will be placed online. Step one:
In order to post to the portal, the first thing you should do is to obtain a username and password. This can be done very easy by clicking the registration link on the right side of the portal.
Fill in your data and pres the “Send Registration” button. After few seconds email containing future steps will be send to your email account. Login on the portal by using your username and password. Step 2
In order to post an information you need to be logged in. On the left side in the “User menu” you will see a link “Add info” Click on this link. After this you will be transferred to the website where you can start filling the information’s
First write the title of the University about which you will write and select the category which in this case is “Universities in Europe” You will see that there are 2 box’s where you can write. The first box will be the text that will appear on the front page. The second one will contain the full text, after the link from the main page has been pressed. As you can see from the pictures there are many options for formatting the text same like in word. You can place table’s graphic, change font, color etc. Usually I would recommend just to use the general info from the university webpage and copy paste from there. If you would like to place picture to accompany the text, click on the image box in the control panel as shown on the picture below.
A separate window will open where you will have to place the path of the picture you want to place. Now its important to know that the picture you wish to appear in the article has to be already published on a certain website (surpassingly the university website). For example: Just point the mouse over the picture, pres the right click of your mouse and select “Properties”. Then a box will open and then you will see a line: “Address URL” Just copy and paste this address of the picture in the box for picture inserting. Select the alignment (Usually left) and pres “Insert” The picture will be shown in the text box. You still can manipulate with the size of the picture by clicking on it, and dragging around the corners of the picture.
In the second Box enter the rest of the text. Step 3 When the text is ready you should double check the information’s entered (It is possible after publishing also to revise them and edit) Go on the bottom of the page and click the second option: “ Publishing”
Select the Access level: “Public”. Tick the box where is stated “Show on Front Page”. If you don’t click this button the text will appear only in the category: “Universities in Europe” and not on the front page. Step 4
Go on the top pf the page and pres the picture that looks like floppy disk. With clicking you will save the article and in short period the article will be shown on the front page. If you would like to submit News about your university activities. The procedure is totally the same, just that this time you do not select the link “Add info” but “Submit News” that is again in the User menu on the front page on the right side. If you still have problems please do contact me at: leon.bakraceski@aegee.org Good luck with your communication with the university and hope that this portal will help you to get a bit closer to them than you were in the past.
