Site Features

There are several features on the site.

Content Types: Pages, Events, and Polls

This site has three types of content: Pages, Events, and Polls.

  • Pages are the most common type of content. They allow users to add text to the site or upload a document such as minutes from a meeting.
  • Events are for meetings or to mark a specific date on the site calendar.
  • PollsAllow Resident Members to express an their opinion on an issue.

Tagging

All site content is tagged based upon a predefined set of keywords for issues important to WWPNA. This tagging system is fairly simple itself, but provides the basis for some of the advanced features of the site.

Navigation via the menu

Site navigation is based largely around the menu on the left hand side. This menu links to specific pages (e.g. the About WWPNA page) or to a listing of a specific category (e.g. the zoning page).

Navigation via search

You can also use the search box on the top right of every page to navigate the site. Additionally, the Advanced Search page allows you to have more control over what section of the site gets searched. The search index is updated periodically so if you are searching for content that was added in the last few hours it will not show in the search results.

Navigation via Sitemap and RSS

All of the "tagging" (explained above) feeds the data into the categories available in the sitemap. Additionally, the sitemap page gives you links for the RSS feeds for each category. If you use RSS, this is a great feature.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are a site feature that sends an email to the email in your account if there is new content on the site that matches a subscription rule that you create. Subscription rules can be set to track:

  • New content of a particular type (e.g. page, event, poll)
  • New content with a particular tag (e.g. all content tagged with "Historic Preservation")
