If you’re hosting an event for members of the StFX community, posting it on MyCampus is a great way to get the word out.

Steps:

1. Making sure you're logged in first, navigate to the Events section of www.stfx.ca/mycampus. Select 'add an event.'
2. Add a title and tag the department hosting the event. You can tag multiple departments if it’s being co-hosted. Adding departments will make the event show up on their home pages.
3. Enter the date and time.
4. Select the event type.
5. Choose a location. If you don’t see your location on the list, you can add a custom one. 
6. Optional - tag an academic faculty in an event. When you do so, the event will appear in the events section of the faculty page. 
7. Add the rest of your event info.
8. Add an image. Images are required for publishing events. 
9. Preview and publish your event
10. Visit MyCampus to see your event.

There are two ways to add documents to the website:

1. When editing a page, in the formatting pane select 'Insert from Media Library.' Select the 'Document' tab and add your file. Choose 'Save and Select' and close out the window. In a separate browser tab, go to the website Media Library. You should see your file at the top of the list. Click into the file. Below 'File*', click on the PDF link. In the window that opens, copy the URL starting with /sites. Choose a piece of text on your page to hyperlink and select 'Link' in the formatting pane. Paste in your link and save.
2. Navigate directly to the Media Library (you can also access this when logged in by hovering over 'Content' in the upper left-hand corner of your screen and clicking on 'Media'). Click the blue 'Add Media' button. Choose 'Document;' name, upload and save your file. In a separate browser tab, open the page you are editing and follow the hyperlinking instructions above.

If you have questions about uploading or linking files, contact the website team at @email.

For updates to a person’s biographical info or profile photo, you can reach out to @email and we will make the changes on your behalf.

For all other changes, including changes to someone’s department, role, campus location, phone number, and email, you can fill out the appropriate IT request form here, as this information is pulled in directly from the employee database.

Once you’ve submitted your revisions by saving your content as ‘ready for review’ instead of draft, the web team strives to publish your content within 24 hours. If there are issues with the content, we will reach out to you within the same timeframe.

Do note: for department main pages, we ask that you email us at @email to inform us of any changes, as the site doesn’t notify us of pending revisions to main pages. Department main pages can be identified as having the ‘department content’ button next to the standard view, edit, layout, and revisions buttons while editors are logged into the site.
