- Go to the Student Organization website. Select your organization from the list and click "Go".
- Click the "Login with your ONYEN" link on the left side of your page.
- Enter your ONYEN and password. You will be returned to your website, and a new menu will appear to the left of the page, called "User Menu".
- Click the "Submit an Event" link.
- You should now be on the "Submit an Event" page. First, you must select the location of your event, called a "venue". If you have previously entered this information, you can click the "Select" button and select it from the list, or otherwise click the "Submit New Venue" button, where you can enter the information about the venue (location, room number, etc.). Click "Save" in the top-right corner to save your new venue, then go back to the User Menu and click "Submit an Event" again. You may also click the "no venue" button if the event is not in a specific place.
- The first option on the list asks you whether you want to submit your event to SLICE. Make sure this is set to "Yes" of you want your event to appear on the main SLICE events list.
- Create a title for your event. This title needs to be descriptive as this will appear on SLICE.
- Select a category for your event from the drop-down menu, which is the category your event will show up in SLICE.
- Enter the date of the event by selecting it from the calendar. If this is a one-day event, you do NOT need to enter an end date.
- Enter the start and end times of your event. Make sure to enter am or pm after your time! Also, you must enter a time such as 3:00pm as 03:00pm (there must be four digits in your time).
- You now have the options to allow registration for your event, to set up a repeating event, or to add an image. This is all optional.
- The final step is to add a detailed description about your event.
- Click "Save". A page will appear confirming that you have submitted the event.
- The event will appear on SLICE within the next half-hour.

Each student organization site is initially set-up with the primary contact as the site administrator. As the primary contact, you can add additional administrators on your own quite easily. - Log-in to your site
- Click on the "site administration" link in the user menu that will appear (or go to your site with a /administrator added to the address)
- Log-in to the back-end of Joomla
- Click on Users on the control panel
- Click on New in the upper right-hand corner
- Fill out the form for a new user
There is also information about this on the control panel for your site (the page you see when you log in as a site administrator). There are several boxes there that explain important concepts in Joomla. |
Joomla lets you organize your content into sections and categories. If you have a small site without a lot of content, it probably makes sense to just use one section and create your categories there. This is how the default installation of a student organization site is set-up. There is one section called "articles" and the categories all fall under there. Once your content grows you can create new sections and then create categories in those sections. If you think about it like a filing system, sections are drawers and categories are file folders. To add a new section or category, you have to log in to the administration, or back-end, side of Joomla. There is a link for this called "Site Administration" on the front page of a default UNC install, or you can get to it by adding a /administrator to your site name. Once you log-in, click on the Content menu then on either Section Manager or Category Manager. You can then add new articles in these categories. |

How to Remove the Image in the Header |
|
There should be a customize.css stylesheet with your template, if it is similar to the default js_lightfast_blue. If so, one way to remove the image in the header is to rename the original '.topbar h1' styles to '.xtopbar h1', so that it does not pull in the image. Next create a new '.topbar h1 a' to fix the positioning of the site name. See below.
.xtopbar h1{position:relative;margin:0;padding:0;background:url('/../images/logo.png') no-repeat 20px 0;}
.xtopbar h1 a{
display:block;
text-indent:-5000px;
text-decoration:none;
width:250px;
line-height:44px;
}
.topbar h1 a{
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
margin-left: 20px;

You can migrate a non-Joomla site to your site at studentorgs.unc.edu. First you need to set up your sections and categories in Joomla. Then, you can copy and paste your existing content into Joomla articles and assign them to those sections and categories. You can upload images from your existing site to Joomla and then use one of the existing templates or design your own to get the look and feel you want for your site. |

Old sites at studentorgs.unc.edu |
We have upgraded the web site tools for all recognized student organizations to Joomla! and replaced the old sites. We have been working with about 40 organizations who indicated that they wanted us to move their old site data in their new site. We still have access to the old sites and if you want us to work with you to move your old studentorgs.unc.edu site, please contact us via the contact us link. |
