Some pages on your Making Music Platform are generated automatically by the Platform. This means that you can add information to your Platform’s database (e.g. upload a new song, or add an event) and have it automatically appear on the relevant page on your website (e.g. your Have a Listen page or Event Calendar). You can’t always change the content which displays on these automatically generated pages, but you can usually customise them by adding your own text, images and adjusting the page’s settings.
Other pages on your MM Platform are completely customisable: they have no automatically generated information on them and so only show the text, images, links or videos which you post on them.
Whether a page is completely customisable or has an automatically generated element, you always edit a page the same way:
- Log in to your Making Music Platform as an administrator.
- Visit the page your want to edit.
- Scroll down to the very bottom-right of the page and click the small edit button to open the Page Details.
- In the Page Details, click on the Content tab.
- Scroll down to the text box which is labelled Body of Page. This box contains all the content which appears in the main section of the page you want to edit. You can type or paste text directly into this box, and add images or links.
- Click Save at the bottom of the page when you’re done.
Automatically generated: If the page has an automatically generated element you will see a piece of code which starts [php_include…. This code is important; if you remove or change it the page will no longer work as intended. You can still add your own text above or below that piece of code and it will appear on the page.
