Introduction

It might be easier to say what this guide isn’t, rather than what it is.

It isn’t an in depth look at every single function available within the

WordPress dashboard.

Nor is it a guide to help you develop or modify WordPress themes.

Our aim is to create a simple WordPress guide that will help you to get an understanding of how you use the various features within the

WordPress Dashboard to keep your Sonae Sierra Shopping Center site updated.

 

This guide will cover the most important areas so you can focus on updating your site. For all other features and detailed explanation, we provide a Manual area in the Dashboard containing videos and documentation explaining how WordPress works with more detailed information.

Login

Before you can make any changes to your site, you will need to log in.

The login for your site is typically found at the following address http://your-sonaesierra-wordpress-site.com/wp-admin. Obviously, replace your-sonaesierra-wordpress-site.com with your actual domain name.

Figure 1

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 6

 

 

For instance, your site could be http://le-terrazze.sonaesierracms.wpengine.com

And in this case you just add the following to the end of the address

/wp-admin

Which would become http://le-terrazze.sonaesierracms.wpengine.com/wp-admin.

This way you are accessing the back office.

Dashboard overview

Once you’ve logged in, the WordPress Dashboard appears. This is your main administration homepage.

At the very top of your Dashboard (and across every page) you will see the name of your site in the header area. In the example screenshot below (and throughout this documentation) the site name is Example

Shopping Center. This is also hyperlinked to your site's homepage. You will also see the name of the person who is currently logged in (e.g. tjacob). Move your cursor over your name to reveal the Log Out link as well as a link to edit your Profile.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 8

 

Figure 2

On most pages, just below your Username, there are a couple of small inverted tabs. One called Screen Options and another called Help.

Clicking either of these links will cause a panel to slide down from the top of the page. The Help link, not surprisingly, displays some help information. The Screen Options link will display various options that allow you to configure what is displayed on the current page. The details in this panel change depending on what page you’re currently viewing.

As an example, on your main Dashboard page, the Screen Options allow you to set which panels you’d like displayed on the page.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 9

 

Dashboard Menu Options

Down the left hand side of the Dashboard and on every page you will see your main navigation menu. This is where you’ll find all the options to update and configure your site.

Hovering your cursor over each of the main menu options will display a

‘fly-out’ menu with the various choices for that particular menu option.

Once you click each of the main menu options, that particular menu will expand to show all the available options within that section (if there are any).

Figure 3

The relevant menu options and their usage are:

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 10

Toolbar

The WordPress Toolbar is a way of easily accessing some of the most common WordPress features. When you are logged into your WordPress dashboard and you visit your website, you will see the Toolbar running across the top of your site. This bar only appears if you are currently logged into your WordPress site, which means that it won’t be visible to your everyday site visitors. If you are not logged in, the Toolbar won’t be displayed.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 12

 

Figure 4

The Toolbar allows you to quickly access the following commonly used features.

• Display your site Dashboard and other commonly used menu options that allow you to update your site Themes, Widgets, Menus and depending on your theme, Background and Header

• View or Edit your blog comments

• Add a new Post, Media, Page or User

• Edit the current Page or Post

• Perform a site Search

• View or Edit your Profile and logout from the WordPress Dashboard

• Hiding the Toolbar

You can stop the Toolbar from displaying by modifying the preferences associated with your Profile. Simply click on the Users link in the left hand navigation to display the list of Users. From this list of Users, click your user name or click on the Edit link that appears beneath the user name when hovering your cursor over each row. Alternatively, click on the Your Profile link underneath the Users menu option in the left hand navigation or within the fly-out menu.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 13

 

 

Figure 5

When editing your Profile there is a Toolbar option as shown in the screen above.

Show Toolbar when viewing site – Checking this box will display the

Toolbar at the very top of your website (only for the person who is currently logged in).

Widgets

Widgets are independent sections of content that can be placed into any widgetized area provided by your theme. Although these widgetized areas are commonly called ‘Sidebars’ and are quite often located in the left or right hand column, they can be also located anywhere within your site and are entirely dependent on the current theme as to their location. Lots of themes use these widgetized sidebars in the footer area.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 15

 

Figure 6

The Available Widgets section contains all the widgets you may choose from. To populate one of your widgetized areas, drag and drop a widget to the desired location. Once the Widget is dragged, the widget will open up to allow you to configure its settings. Click the Save button within the Widget to save your settings.

If you want to remove a widget from a Sidebar but save its settings for future use, drag it into the Inactive Widgets section. If you simply want

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 16

 

  to delete the Widget from the widgetized area, click the Delete link within the Widget.

The small arrow next to the title will toggle the sidebar open and closed.

If you drag and drop a widget onto a closed sidebar, the sidebar and widget will automatically open.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 17

Menus

Your theme supports custom menus, so you can make modifications to them from the Menus option. Menus can contain links to Pages, Posts,

Categories, Custom Links or other content types.

Figure 7

Adding a New Menu

Your site makes use of more than one navigation menu. You have multiple menus in your site header and footer of your site.

To add a new menu, hover your cursor over the Appearance menu option in the left hand navigation menu and in the fly-out menu, click the

Menus link. Alternatively, click the Appearance menu option and then click the Menus link underneath.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 18

 

On the screen that’s displayed, click the “create a new menu” link. You’ll be presented with a screen similar to below. Enter a name for your new menu in the Menu Name input field. Click the Create Menu button to create your new menu.

Clicking on the down arrow next to each menu item name will show an options panel for that particular menu item. In this options panel, there are several items that can be updated/changed. You can show or hide extra fields such as Link Target, CSS Classes, Link Relationship (XFN) or

Description using the Screen Options tab at the very top-right of the screen.

Each menu item can be moved to a new location in the menu hierarchy by using either the links underneath the Navigation Label input field or by clicking on the title area of the menu item and dragging ‘n dropping the menu to new location. If you choose to drag ‘n drop your menu items, the cursor will turn into a four-pointed arrow when you’re hovering over the correct area.

After making updates to your menu items, click the Save Menu button at the top or bottom of the screen.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 19

 

Editing a Menu

 

To edit a menu click the Appearance menu option and then click the

Menus link underneath.

On the screen that’s displayed, on the tab Edit Menus select a menu from the “Select a menu to edit” dropdown list and then click on the

Select button. You’ll be presented a screen with the menu structure.

Each menu item can be moved to a new location in the menu hierarchy by using either the links underneath the Navigation Label input field or by clicking on the title area of the menu item and dragging ‘n dropping the menu to new location.

Posts versus Pages

WordPress is built around two basic concepts, posts and pages.

Posts are typically blog entries, like your ‘latest news’ or just shopping center updates. Consider them as a series of articles.

As an example, in the homepage just below the slider you have various posts or highlighted news.

Pages are used for more static content (i.e. content that doesn’t change or changes infrequently). An “About us” page is an example of a Page on a typical website. In most cases you’ll find that the content in the

‘About us’ page doesn’t change all that frequently.

As an example, in the footer you have various pages. One of them is the

“About” page and all the sub-pages.

Adding content to your site

Adding content to your site is an easy process no matter whether you’re creating a Post or a Page. The procedure for both is almost identical.

Apart from how they display on your site, the main difference is that

Posts allow you to associate Categories and Tags whereas Pages don’t.

What’s the difference between categories and tags? Normally, Tags are ad-hoc keywords that identify important information in your Post

(names, subjects, etc) that may or may not recur in other Posts, while

Categories are pre-determined sections. If you think of your site like a book, the Categories are like the Table of Contents and the Tags are like the terms in the index.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 21

 

Posts

After clicking on the Posts menu option you'll be shown a list of Posts that your site contains. Among the information displayed is the Post title, status, Author, Date, etc. The Posts screen will look similar to the screen below.

Figure 8

At the top of the page you can view how many Posts in total you have in your site, how many are Published, Scheduled, Sticky, Pending, in Draft or in the Trash.

When hovering your cursor over each row, a few links will appear beneath the Post title.

Edit – Will allow you to edit your Post. This is the same as clicking on the Post title

Quick Edit – Allows you to edit basic Post information such as Title,

Slug, Date plus a few other options

Trash – Will send the Post to the Trash. Once the Trash is emptied, the page is deleted

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 22

 

View – Displays the Post. If the Post hasn’t been published yet, this will say Preview

Next to each Post title is a checkbox. This allows you to perform an action on multiple items at once. You simply check the Posts that you would like to affect and then from the Bulk Actions dropdown select either the Edit option or the Move to Trash option and then click the

Apply button. The Edit option will allow you to edit the Categories, Tags,

Author, whether to allow Comments and Pings or not, the Status and whether or not the Posts are ‘Sticky’. The Move to Trash option will move the selected items to the Trash.

You can also filter the pages that are displayed using the dropdown lists and the Filter button.

At the top of the list of Posts there are also two icons that change how the list is displayed. Click the List View icon ( ) to display the posts in the traditional List View or click the Excerpt View icon ( ) to display a short excerpt from the Post underneath the Post title.

New Post

After clicking on the Posts menu option you'll be shown a list of Posts that your site contains. Click on the Add New button or link to crate a new post.

Adding Content with the Visual Editor

The editor used to enter content into your Page or Post is very easy to use. It’s much like using a regular word processor, with toolbar buttons that allow you to Bold ( ) or Italicize ( ) text or enter in Headings (

) or bullet points ( ). You can even use most of the basic keyboard shortcuts used in other text editors. For example:

Shift+Enter inserts a line break, Ctrl+C/Cmd+C = copy, Ctrl+X/Cmd+X = cut, Ctrl+Z/Cmd+Z = undo, Ctrl+Y/Cmd+Y = redo, Ctrl+A/Cmd+A = select all, etc. (use the Ctrl key on a PC or the Command key on a Mac).

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 23

 

With WordPress 4.0, the Visual Editor now expands to fit your content, rather than simply scrolling. On top of that, no matter how tall the Visual

Editor becomes, the toolbar buttons will be available at all times by sticking to the top of the page.

At the top of the editor there are two tabs, Visual and Text (

). These switch the editor view between the Visual Editor and the Text editor. The Text view will enable you to view the HTML code that makes up your content. For the more experienced users this can be helpful at times but for those not familiar with HTML tags, it’s not recommended.

When creating a new Page or Post, the first thing to do is enter in your title in the top entry field where it says Enter title here. After moving the cursor down to the editor a new Permalink is created for your page.

Permalinks are the permanent URL’s to your individual Posts, Pages,

Categories etc.. Though not usually necessary, you can manually edit your permalink by clicking on the actual permalink (the part after the domain name with the yellow background) or by clicking the Edit button next to it. Once you’ve modified it, click Ok to save or Cancel to cancel your changes.

At the top of the editor where your content is written, there are numerous formatting buttons. Clicking the Toolbar Toggle button ( will show or hide a second line of formatting buttons which gives you extra functionality. The editor buttons perform the following functions:

)

Bold – Bold text

Italic – Italicise text

Strikethrough – Add a strikethrough to your text

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 24

 

Bulleted List – Create an unordered (bullet point) list

Numbered List – Create an Ordered (numbered) list

Blockquote – Used as a way of showing a quote. How this looks will be entirely dependent on the Theme that your site is currently using

Horizontal Line – Inserts a horizontal line into your page

Align Left – Align text to the left

Align Center – Align text in the center of the page

Align Right – Align text to the right

Insert/edit link – Used to create an html link to another page or website. The text or image that you want to link needs to be selected first before the button will become active

Remove link – Remove the html link from the selected link. Your cursor must be sitting on an active link for the button to be active

Insert Read More tag – Inserts the More tag into your

Page. Most blogs only display a small excerpt of a Post and you’re required to click the Post title or a ‘Read more...’ link to continue reading the rest of the article.

When you insert a ‘More’ tag into your Post, everything prior to the tag is considered as this excerpt. Most times you’d only use this button when you’re creating a blog

Post, rather than a Page

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 25

 

Toolbar Toggle – Used to show or hide the second row of formatting buttons on the editor toolbar

Distraction Free Writing – Clicking this button will enlarge the editor so that it fills the browser window. Clicking the

Exit fullscreen link at the top of the screen will reduce it back to its original size

Style – Used to format the Page text based on the styles used by the current Theme

Underline – Underline your text

Justify – Align text on both the left and right (i.e. justify)

Text color – Use to change the color of text

Paste as text – Copying and pasting text from other sites or word processors sometimes leaves the text formatted differently to what you were expecting. The reason for this is that quite often the html tags or codes that formatted the original text are pasted along with the text itself. To avoid this, Paste as Text will strip all these formatting and html tags. The Paste as Text option acts like a toggle, staying on until you turn it off by clicking the button again or until you save your page content

Clear formatting – Use this to remove all the formatting

(e.g. Bold, Underline, text color etc..) from the highlighted text

Special character – Used to insert special characters not easily accessible via the keyboard (e.g. ¼, ½, ¾, ©, €, ö etc..)

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 26

 

Decrease indent – Removes one level of indenting

Increase indent – Indents text by one level

Undo – Undo your last action

Redo – Redo your last action

Keyboard shortcuts – Displays information about the

WordPress Visual Editor along with keyboard shortcuts enable you to view the HTML code that makes up your content. For the more experienced users this can be helpful at times but for those not familiar with HTML tags, it’s not recommended

Switching to the Text Editor

At the top of the editor there are two tabs, Visual and Text (

). These switch the editor view between the Visual Editor and the Text editor. The Text view will enable you to view the HTML code that makes up your content. For the more experienced users this can be helpful at times but for those not familiar with HTML tags, it’s not recommended.

The Text editor is much like the Visual Editor, only not as intuitive. The numerous formatting buttons provide you with basic HTML formatting capabilities when editing your Page or Post content.

The buttons work in two ways. Clicking a button without highlighting any text first, will simply insert the opening HTML tag relevant for that button. As an example, clicking the Bold button will insert the <strong>

HTML tag into your text. Clicking the Bold button again will close the tag

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 27

  by inserting the closing </strong> tag. If you highlight some text prior to clicking a button, both the opening and closing tags will be inserted around that highlighted text. For example, highlighting the text, ‘bold text’, prior to clicking the Bold button will insert ‘<strong>bold text</strong>’.

The following editor buttons are available whilst in the Text editor:

Bold – Bold text

Italic – Italicise text

Link – Used to insert a website link. When the button is clicked a pop-up window will appear where you type in the URL that you would like to link to

Blockquote – Used as a way of showing a quote. How this looks will be entirely dependent on the Theme that your site is currently using

Delete – Used as a way of showing deleted text. How this looks will be dependent on the Theme but is usually done by showing the text with a strikethrough

Insert – Used as a way of showing inserted text. How this looks will be dependent on the Theme but is usually done by showing the text with an underline

Image – Used to insert an image into the text. When the button is clicked a pop-up window will appear where you type in the URL of the image that you would like inserted

Unordered List – Used to insert an unordered (bullet point) list

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 28

 

Ordered List – Used to insert an ordered (numbered) list

List Item – Used to insert a list item into your ordered or un-ordered list

Code –Used for indicating a piece of code

More – Inserts the More tag into your Page. Most blogs only display a small excerpt of a Post and you’re required to click the Post title or a ‘Read more...’ link to continue reading the rest of the article. When you insert a ‘More’ tag into your Post, everything prior to the tag is considered as this excerpt. Most times you’d only use this button when you’re creating a blog Post, rather than a Page

Distraction Free Writing – Clicking this button will enlarge the editor so that it fills the browser window. Clicking the

Exit fullscreen link at the top of the screen will reduce it back to its original size

Close Tags – Used to close open tags. If for example, you clicked both the Bold and Italic buttons to insert their opening tags, clicking the Close tags button will insert both of the matching closing tags, in the correct order

Reviewing Past Revisions

When you’re editing your Post or Page, the number of revisions for that particular Post or Page is shown in the Publish Panel, if you have any.

Click the Browse link next to Revisions: in the Publish panel to browse through the various revisions for the current Post or Page.

Use the slider at the top of the page or click the Previous and Next buttons to navigate through your various Post or Page revisions.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 29

 

Content that has been deleted will be shaded red and content that has been added will be shaded green. If there is content that is shaded dark red and/or dark green, it’s highlighting specific content that was removed or added. If the paragraph or line is simply light red and/or light green, then the whole paragraph or line was affected by the change.

You can also compare two different revisions by clicking the Compare any two revisions checkbox at the top of the page.

If you’d like to restore a previous revision, click the Restore This Revision button.

Edit Post

After clicking on the Posts menu option you'll be shown a list of Posts that your site contains. Select one post, hover your mouse pointer over the name and click edit on the menu that appears beneath it. Once inside a post, you can edit it.

Pages

After clicking on the Pages menu option you'll be shown a list of Pages that your site contains. Among the information displayed is the Page title, Author, Date, etc. The Pages screen will look similar to screen below.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 30

 

Figure 9

At the top of the page you can view how many Pages in total you have in your site and how many are Published or in Draft.

When hovering your cursor over each row, a few links will appear beneath the Page title.

Edit – Will allow you to edit your Page. This is the same as clicking on the Page title

Quick Edit – Allows you to edit basic Page information such as Title,

Slug, Date plus a few other options

Trash – Will send the Page to the Trash. Once the Trash is emptied, the page is deleted

View – Displays the Page. If the Page hasn’t been published yet, this will say Preview

Next to each Page title is a checkbox. This allows you to perform an action on multiple items at once. You simply check the Pages that you would like to affect and then from the Bulk Actions dropdown select either the Edit option or the Move to Trash option and then click the

Apply button. The Edit option will allow you to edit the Author, Parent,

Template, whether to allow Comments or not and the Status of each of

So, lets talk about changing its structure. The blue blocks are managed with the Page Builder.

You can also change each row’s order by clicking on the upper right corner icon of the row and drag it to where you want it.

In the top of this board, you have the following buttons:

Body

The defined blocks structure is read in rows. So in the this example we have the following:

• First row, we have several columns: o First column (Sierra Shopping Post) o Second column (Sierra Shopping Post) o Third column (On Facebook) [This is an option. If the

Shopping Center doesn’t have Facebook it will be removed and two more blocks will be added.]

• Second row, we have several columns: o First column (Sierra Shopping Post) o Second column (Sierra Shopping Post) o Third column (Sierra Shopping Post) o Fourth column (Sierra Shopping Post)

• Third row, we have several columns: o First column (Sierra Shopping Page) o Second column (Sierra Shopping Page) o Third column (Sierra Shopping Page) o Fourth column (Sierra Shopping Page)

So you can change its content, this is what you have to do. Hover the mouse over the desired block and you will see a little menu with three items. Click on Edit. A window will open.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 59

In the first tab you will see a Snippet Preview. This is how this page will look like in the search engines, like google.

The Focus Keyword is the main keyword or key phrase used to test the content page SEO. This will show you a list of page components and their status. This does not optimize the SEO, just tests it.

The SEO Title lets you optimize the title of the page. In this case, you change the title that search engines will index this page.

To scale your image to a new size, simply enter the width or height dimensions in the appropriate field and click the Scale button. For best results, scaling should be done before performing any other operations like cropping, flipping or rotating the image. It’s important to note that images can only be scaled down, not up.

After entering one scale value, the other value will change automatically so as to keep the image in proportion. The original image dimensions are displayed just above the input fields, for your reference.

There are several ways to crop your image. The easiest is to simply click on the image and drag the selection box to the appropriate size. If you’d like your image cropped to a specific ratio, enter the values in the

Aspect Ratio input fields (e.g. 1:1 (square), 4:3, 16:9 etc.). You can then hold down the shift key and drag one of the edges of your selection to enlarge or reduce the size, while keeping this aspect ratio locked. If there is already a selection made, specifying the aspect ratio will automatically change the selection to match it.

Whenever the selection box is adjusted, the dimensions are displayed in the Selection input fields. You can also manually enter the dimensions of the selection box (in pixels) by entering values into these two fields.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 102

Image link and then click the Restore image button to discard your changes and restore your original image.

Fashion4ME

Because this feature needs a specific profile (Curator) we will leave in this chapter all the explanations for the Fashion4ME feature, but we advise the user to read the whole document for the overall features of the platform, specifically chapters: Introduction, Login, Dashboard overview and Media Library.

We will see how you can manage the

• Landing Page Slider

• Main Page Slider

 

• Main Page, Product Page and Wishlist

• Video Wall

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 113

 

Landing Page Slider

Frontend

The landing page is the homepage of Fashion4ME. It’s an image slider that fills the whole page and can have one or more images. Each image can have a description that you can manage its position on the page: vertically in the center, top or bottom and horizontally on the left, right or middle of the page. The description will link to a product listing defined by you. The images rotate every 5 seconds.

Backoffice

You must go to the backoffice and in the menu and select Sliders.

As you can see when clicking on the Sliders menu, you will see a list with all the sliders created.

You can have one or more sliders published but only the last one (the most recent) is presented.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 114

 

Add New

Creating a new slider or editing an existing one is simple.

Click on “Add New” inside the Sliders menu. Once inside the page, you can choose a title.

This “Sliders” feature is the same used to manage sliders in the Landing

Page and in the Main Page, so, for you to choose which page slider you are managing there is an option at the beginning of the slider page:

“Slide for Landing Page”.

Please select it if this slider should be displayed on the Landing Page.

The slider images rotate automatically – when more than one – for 5 seconds each. Now, you can add one or more images.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 115

 

The images must have at least 1920px by 1080px in size.

For each slide image you can add a description (slide text) and format it like you wish. We recommend no more than 500 characters.

Then, you can select where do you want the description (Slide Text

Position).

You can choose from: Top-left, Center-left, Bottom-left, Top-center,

Center, Bottom-center, Top-right, Center-right and Bottom-right.

So, after this, you will have to choose where it links to. You can choose taxonomies or categories and add as many as you like. This setup will automatically create the link to a page with these filters applied.

So, for example, you can choose only “Custom URL Category” and select

“Women”. This will lead to a page with a list with all products with

Women category.

Or you can add also a “Custom URL Brand” like “Cartier”, so in this case you will have a link to a page with a list of all products of the women category and brand Cartier.

You can add as many “filters” as you like using the existing categories:

Category, Brand, Colors, Sizes, Materials and Patterns.

The “Slide URL” field will be automatically generated, based on your choices.

The link points always to a page with a list of products. You can add or remove as many slider images as you want.

So, on the right side of the page, you can add a category to the slider.

This category has an organizing purpose only it is not presented on the frontend.

Besides publishing the slider right away you can also schedule the publication of the slider to a future date.

Once you publish or schedule a publication of a slider, the system will present the slider that has the most recent date.

So, for example, you can have a published slider and create two more sliders that you schedule to different future dates. Slider 1 is scheduled to June 1 st and the Slider 2 is scheduled to July 1 st .

The current slider will be presented until June 1 st when Slider 1 is presented. Slider 1 is active (is presented) until July 1 st when Slider 2 is activated. Slider 2 will be active until anyone publishes another slider.

Main Page Slider

Frontend

The Main Page slider is an image slider that is presented on the right side of the main page. It can have one or more images. The images rotate every 5 seconds.

Backoffice

You must go to the backoffice and in the menu and select Sliders.

As you can see when clicking on the Sliders menu, you will see a list with all the sliders created.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 118

 

You can have one or more sliders published but only the last one (the most recent) is presented.

Add New

Creating a new slider or editing an existing one is simple.

Click on “Add New” inside the Sliders menu. Once inside the page, you can choose a title.

This “Sliders” feature is the same used to manage sliders in the Landing

Page and in the Main Page, so, for you to choose which page slider you are managing there is an option at the beginning of the slider page:

“Slide for Landing Page”.

Please do not select it if this slider should be displayed on the Main Page.

The slider images rotate automatically – when more than one – for 5 seconds each.

The images must have at least 255px by 740px in size.

You will have to choose where it links to. You can choose taxonomies or categories and add as many as you like. This setup will automatically create the link to a page with these filters applied.

So, for example, you can choose only “Custom URL Category” and select

“Women”. This will lead to a page with a list with all products with

Women category.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 119

 

Or you can add also a “Custom URL Brand” like “Cartier”, so in this case you will have a link to a page with a list of all products of the women category and brand Cartier.

You can add as many “filters” as you like using the existing categories:

Category, Brand, Colors, Sizes, Materials and Patterns.

The “Slide URL” field will be automatically generated, based on your choices.

The link points always to a page with a list of products. You can add or remove as many slider images as you want.

So, on the right side of the page, you can add a category to the slider.

This category has an organizing purpose only it is not presented on the frontend.

Besides publishing the slider right away you can also schedule the publication of the slider to a future date.

Once you publish or schedule a publication of a slider, the system will present the slider that has the most recent date.

So, for example, you can have a published slider and create two more sliders that you schedule to different future dates. Slider 1 is scheduled to June 1 st and the Slider 2 is scheduled to July 1 st .

The current slider will be presented until June 1 st when Slider 1 is presented. Slider 1 is active (is presented) until July 1 st when Slider 2 is activated. Slider 2 will be active until anyone publishes another slider.

Main Page, Product Page and Wish List

Frontend

At this point of the project you can see the main page with the listing of all products.

Here follows a brief explanation of the frontend.

In the main page, below the Shopping logo and Fashion4ME reference, there is a menu composed with 2 sorting options at the left (“New in” and “Trending”) for each category on the right (“Men”, “Women”,

“Children”, “All”).

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 121

 

The “New in” will show all products of that category sorted by chronological time, newest first. There could be sticky products, and in that case, they will appear first.

The “Trending” will sort all products by the number of likes. There are no sticky products here.

This page has infinite scrolling, so as long there are products to load, the page will load them as soon the user scrolls down the page. At the right side there is a banner. See the picture above.

At the most right of the menu there is an image that links to the wish list. The wish list is a page with all my wished products.

When clicking on a product, you will see the respective product page.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 122

 

On the left is the image box that shows by default the featured image and the following (on the right of the box), once they are clicked on.

On the center of the page you have the title of the product. Below you have the store and the price tag.

Please note that on the up right corner over the price tag there is an asterisk. This will point to a text at the end of the page with a default text that you can override, product by product, if you want.

Below the price tag you have a short description, trimmed to twenty words, and a “more info” button that shows all the description when clicked.

On the right of the “more info” button there’s a “Where to Find” button.

This will open a window with the location of the store on the shopping center map.

Then, the available color list is displayed.

At the bottom, there are the likes and the wish list buttons and counters.

At the right of the page you can defined up to six products on both sections: “Complete your style with” and “If you like this”.

All of this information can be managed in the backoffice.

Wish List

Adding a product to the wish list automatically adds a like to the product. You can later remove the like if you wish.

Clicking on the top right image to the wish list presents you a page with a list of your wished products.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 123

 

The above image shows a wish list page with no products.

Inside this page you can send that wish list to an email and while doing it you can also subscribe to the shopping center newsletter (campaign monitor).

You can also share the list by Facebook.

There is also a default disclaimer on the right.

You can always reset the wish list by clicking on the “Reset wish list” button.

Backoffice

First of all, you must know that you can manage Fashion4ME products for one or more sites, so, you must choose one before start managing your Fashion4ME products.

After you login, at the top left of the screen you have a menu called “My

Sites”. Select it and you will see a list of one or more sites you can access. Select the Dashboard of the desired site.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 124

 

Once in the Dashboard you will have several options on the left menu.

These are the options you can use at this time (other features will be available during the project):

• Products

Where you can manage all products.

• Media

It’s not necessary, but is available. You can insert/remove photos inside the Products option.

• Profile

• Download Manual

This option links to this manual.

These are the options you should use when managing Products.

Selecting the Products menu on the left will open all its options, as you can see below.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 125

 

Besides “All Products” and “Add New”, we have several taxonomies or categories for the products. You don’t have to create categories for each of these menu entries, since you can add them when editing or creating a product. It’s up to you.

Product Categories

You can add this taxonomies or categories ad hoc, meaning that you can add all that you want and use them later when editing or creating a product.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 126

 

You must insert at least a name. All other info is optional.

If you like, you can add the corresponding name in other language

(option “Translations”), so, when in the frontend seeing a product, you can change the language and all text will match in the corresponding language. You can also do it by clicking in the plus sign (add) or in the pencil (edit) on the list of names on the right.

All other categories (Product Brand, Product Colors, Product Sizes,

Product Materials, Product Patterns) have the same behavior.

Product Colors must be created before you edit or add a new product, so you can configure a color associated to the color name. You can always edit the color category later and change or add the color.

All Products

When selected, you will be presented with a list of all existing products.

Sonae Sierra Shopping Center [Release date: May 2015] [Version 1.6] Page 127
