Drupal: Engineering Website - How To Log In, Add or Edit content

In this tutorial, you will learn how to log into the Engineering website to add or update Engineering Profiles, Events, or designated user role pages.

Note: You must be an MSU Engineering faculty or staff member and have an Engineering ID, password and designated user role to login. If you do not have a designated user role, and should have, please email webmaster@egr.msu.edu.

1.  Go to:  www.egr.msu.edu/user

2.  Type in your Engineering username and associated password and click "Log In."

3.  After logging in, you will see a narrow black toolbar appear at the top of the webpage, just above the MSU / COE header, which will allow you to add or edit content. Click on the word "Content" to find a specific item to edit. Choose from the Type pull down menu and click Filter to sort on a specific item, such as Events, or EGR Profile. Or, you can navigate to the page or content in question and click on the Edit tab of that item.

4. To create new content, click on Content > Add Content from the toolbar, or from the blue button "+ Add content". Fill in all of the required fields and click Save.

New content is automatically set to be published once you click save, but if you would like to work on the item / page before it is published, click on Publishing Options at the bottom, just before Save, and uncheck the Published and/or Promoted to front page boxes, and click Save. Once it is saved, there will be a pink background, indicating that it is unpublished. When you are ready for it to be published, check the Published box and save.
