Image X - Website

Image X website. 2018 Designed & Developed by Harry Bellenie for Image X

Intro

Image X website is built in Expression Engine, using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Here I've compiled some basic steps on how to manage certain aspects of the site. I recommend reading/consulting the Expression Engine Documentation.

Channels

Many areas of the site can be managed using the Channels feature of Expression Engine. Currently, the following categories can be customized:

Team Members
Catalogs
Favorite Products

Manage Entries

Add New Entry

To add a new entry, click on the Create drop down in the top left and select the desired Channel.
Fill out all the required fields and press the Save button.

Some fields may call for images via a URL. Images should be uploaded to the Cloudinary account. See the section Managing Images & Cloudinary.

Edit an Entry

Click the Edit drop down in the top left and select the desired Channel.
Click on the name of the entry you wish to edit. Be sure to save your changes.

Remove an Entry

To remove an entry, find the entry you wish to remove and click the checkbox.
Scroll to the bottom of the list. Select 'Remove' from the drop down.
Click Submit.

Team Members

Title is the First and Last name (ie. Emily Hooven).
URL title is usually created automatically, and is typically in this format first name-last name (ie. emily-hooven). These names are important for the Favorited Products.
Profile is the Team Members profile photo in the form of a URL. You must first upload the Team Members profile photo to Cloudinary, copy the Public URL, and paste it into this field.
Position is the number position the Team Member is sorted on the Contact Us and the Our Team pages (1 = first position, 2 = second, and so on).

Favorite Products

Product is the name of the product
Product Image this is a photo of the product in the form of a URL. You must first upload the photo to Cloudinary, copy the Public URL, and paste it into this field.
Team Members this is where you list all the Team Members who want this product featured on their profile page. You must enter the Team Member's URL Title name, separated by a comma. (ie. glen_douglas, emily_hooven, ...etc.). Simply remove them from the list to remove the product from that Team Members profile page.
