The Related Content feature in the Web Management System (WMS) allows you to display a list of links at the bottom of your Basic Page or Article to related information on your site.
Add Related Content links
NOTES:
- The Related Content feature can only be applied on Basic Pages and Articles
- You can link to other related Basic Pages, Articles, or McGill Profiles; you cannot link to any other content types such as: Channels, Webforms, Restricted Pages, etc.
- You can link to translated content, i.e., link to French content on an English page or vice-versa
- Click the Edit draft or New draft tab on a Basic Page or Article
- Scroll down to the vertical tabs and click Related Content
- In the Related Content Label field, enter a heading that you wish to display at the top of your list of related content links
- Add the Related Content link(s)
- In the field provided under the RELATED CONTENT section, start typing the title of the page you intend to link to and you will see that a list of titles starts to auto-complete
- Select the appropriate title
- To add another link, click Add another item and a new empty field will appear
- Change the order of any link by clicking on the crosshair icon next to the field – which highlights it – then drag and drop the field to a new position where it will appear with an asterisk beside it
- Click Save at the bottom of the page to save any updates
- Publish the page in order for your Related Content links to display.
- Test your link(s) to make sure that you have linked to the correct content since the auto-completed titles may sometimes be similar for different content types (e.g., a Basic Page or Article could share the same title).
