See below for details and links about all the settings pages and associated tasks and options; some are outlined on separate pages within this section and others (e.g., feature-specific settings) are outlined in other sections.

Clone content

The "Clone content" settings page allows Site Managers and Site Builders to turn cloning on and off for specific content types. This step is what allows users with the Site Manager, Site Builder, Editor, and Contributor roles to use the clone feature to clone content on Berkeley Web Builder sites. To enable cloning for any/all content types, select the "Clone content" option from the list on the Settings page (see Figure 1, above); from the next screen, check the boxes to enable cloning for the desired content types and then select "Save configuration." See Figure 2, below.

See the Clone content page(TBA) for full instructions on how to use the clone feature.

Content display

The "Content display" section contains settings for:

  • image and video captions: images and videos embedded from the WYSIWYG can have a text caption, and this caption can be displayed either above or below the embedded media item (see Add images (TBA))
  • responsive tables: the responsive table functionality can be turned off site-wide only as needed for non-standard tables (see Add tables (TBA))
  • local menu block: on Basic pages, the local (sidebar) menu can be displayed site-wide on either the left or the right side of the page (see Basic page(TBA))

These settings are all optional and can be adjusted as needed at any time. Select the "Content display" option from the list on the Settings page (see Figure 1, above) and then change the settings and select "Save configuration." See Figure 3, below.

Error pages

By default, site visitors who encounter 403 ("access denied") or 404 ("not found") errors will see a generic "access denied" / "not found" page in their browser. If desired, you can redirect site visitors to a specific page rather than the generic page.

To use specific 403/404 pages, you will first need to create either one or two pages (see Add content) and then add the page information to the "Error pages" settings option. Select the "Error pages" option from the list on the Settings page (see Figure 1, above), and then enter the page path(s) into the 403 and 404 fields and select "Save configuration." See Figure 4, below.

FAQ feature

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) content can be displayed in FAQ widgets filtered by FAQ categories. Select the "FAQ feature" option from the list on the Settings page (see Figure 1, above) to find the available FAQ settings: 

  • reorder FAQ items within categories: change the display order of the published FAQ items within each category from this section
  • reorder categories: change the display order of the FAQ category sections when multiple categories are displayed in one widget
  • default question format: change the default display of new FAQ widgets to use a specific FAQ display (individual widgets can still be changed as needed):
    • jump list (site visitors select a question which "jumps" them down the page to the answer)
    • inline (site visitors see the answer under each question)
    • expand/collapse (site visitors select the question to expand and see the answer)

See Figure 5, below, and then see the FAQ feature page for more information and instructions on how to use the above options with the FAQ feature.

Top results

The Top Results feature allows users to assign a limited number of pages to be "top results" for specific search terms.

URL aliases

URL aliases are the "friendly path names" for Berkeley Web Builder page URLs. These URL aliases are typically managed from within the node edit user interface when creating and editing content items; see the URL aliases page (TBA). They can also be reviewed and managed from this Settings section. Select the "URL aliases" option from the list on the Settings page (see Figure 1, above), and then view/filter/search/edit URL aliases as needed; see Figure 9, below.

URL redirects

URL redirects will ensure that if site visitors go to an old link (e.g., a page on an old website that you are rebuilding on the Berkeley Web Builder platform), they will be automatically redirected to the new page; see the URL redirects page (TBA). You can add, edit, and manage URL redirects for sub-paths (page paths) from this Settings section. Select the "URL redirects" option from the list on the Settings page (see Figure 1, above), and then add/view/filter/search/edit URL redirects as needed; see Figure 10, below.
