CCRI Website Cleanup
To ensure that visitors to our website are viewing accurate information, we are asking content managers to please review their web pages and delete old or unused content. This includes web pages, images, documents, videos, PDFs, text, etc. Please review the steps on this page to delete your old content.
Accessing your webpage
To access the Modern Campus CMS system, login to your site by clinking the "last updated" text in the footer of a page on your website. Enter your username and password.
Next when you are logged into Modern Campus CMS you want to click on "Back to pages" in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
Then you will see the files in your website.
Deleting old content
Next go through all your pages, images, and documents and delete everything that is not being used or is outdated.
If you recycle a page and a warning message pops up with a list of other web pages, it means the page, image, or document is linked on those sites. Recycling the item will cause broken links on those sites, therefore it is important that you make note of those pages so you can go back and remove the links. If there is a broken link on a page you do not maintain, please submit a helpdesk ticket.
If you don’t get that warning, then you know that the page is an orphan (not linked to any other pages) and you can go ahead and delete it.
Do NOT delete the following items:
- _contact-info-2019.html (contact information)
- _sidenav-2019.inc (navigation)
- _props.pcf (properties)
- index.pcf (home page)
Below you will find the instructions to deleting the various files on your website.
When you are looking at your files, your webpages are the files that end with .pcf.
To delete a pcf file, click the ellipsis to the right of the file name, then click the file dropdown, and then click "Recycle".
After you click Recycle, a box might pop up that will show you pages that will now have broken links because you are deleting that page. You must visit those pages and remove those links to avoid creating broken links on the website. You can screenshot the box, so you have the list of pages and then visit each page and remove the link. If you do not have access to the links, let Web Services know so they can assist in removing the links.
Click the red "Recycle" button and the page will be deleted.
Image files will end in .jpg, .png, .svg, .gif.
To delete an image, go to your files and locate your images. Usually they will be located in a folder named images, but they could be scattered around your site.
Next click the ellipsis to the right of the file name, then click the file dropdown, and then click "Recycle".
