User Manual ‐ Admin
This document is under construction. We will add sections as we go.
Readux has two admin sections: the Readux admin, and the Wagtail content management system (cms). You can access the Wagtail cms at the url /cms after your Readux url. You will have to login to the admin with an admin approved account. This is the same login as for the Readux admin pages at /admin after your Readux url.
For example: myreaduxsite.org/cms and myreaduxsite.org/admin
The Readux admin /admin is used to ingest volumes, sort and create collections, and manage users.
The Wagtail cms /cms is used to organize the menus and choose and design the public-facing pages.
The main menu for Readux is set through the Wagtail cms. Go to your url + /cms and login.
In order to set the main (header) menu, you have to both promote the pages and add them to the menu.
First, go to "Pages" in the Wagtail side menu. Then select a page that you want to add to the main menu. Navigate to the page with the right arrows, and then click the pencil icon to edit the page.
Then click on the "Promote" tab at the top of the page edit screen (to the right of "Content").
On the "Promote" tab, scroll to the bottom and check the check-box "Show in menus".
After selecting the check box, make sure to select "Publish" and publish this change. Do not just save as a draft.
After you have checked and promoted the pages that you want to show in the main menu (be sure to do this for each page), navigate to Settings => Main menu in the Wagtail side menu, and select "Main menu".
Select the "Add menu item" button at the bottom of the of the "Main menu" screen.
Under "Link to an internal page" select the "Choose a page" button.
After you choose your page, you should see its title show up in the list on the "Main menu" page. Do this for each page you want in your menu, and then click "Save" at the bottom. You have a menu!
