Sylvia Nicosia replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"It helps greatly, thank you. Then all I have to do is call the CSS file from the .shtml page for the nav file. This can also help with reusing the leftnav tag where 'nav' is included with different navs like…"
Justin Gatewood replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"I have the include files setup as divs within the stylesheet.
Example, the leftnav include in our stylesheet is the "nav" attribute in CSS, so the include file itself is the opening <div id="nav"> including…"
Sylvia Nicosia replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"So far the include files we have on all templates are the header and footer, and eventually a left side nav. For the include files, is it any preference to just have the information in plain text, or have it…"
Justin Gatewood replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"The templates I have I setup myself (just using the layout I had put together, and inserting the include calls where necessary for repeatable content sections).
Setting up templates was surprisingly simple.
I had held off for a few…"
Sylvia Nicosia replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"Thank you Justin, I really appreciate it. This is very useful information because it points us to the right direction. Once you get the template from OU, you do this to call whatever file you want to include on your page. We…"

Advice for re-design
We are in the process of moving to OmniUpdate with a brand new site. We are working on incorporating include files for headers, footer, menus, etc. for modularity, and setting up the templates. If anyone has gone through this, any advice is welcome, or share stories that helped you overcome this task. Thanks! Sylvia NicosiaAlumni/Web ManagerFarmingdale State CollegeSee More

Doug Thompson posted a discussionSolution for deluge of daily emails?
So way back in "the day" (eight or so years ago), our employee/student email inboxes were routinely deluged with 40+ individual email messages per day due to the "campus-wide" email lists being open for anyone here to send messages to.Enough people eventually decried the situation, so we came up with an email/website "publication" that was basically akin to a "daily digest email" of what were originally individual messages.This was highly successful and took a large part of the burden off of…See More
