View versus Add Menu Links for Exchanges

 

When a visitor clicks on the exchanges link in a menu, on the home page, he is presented with the exchanges list.

 

It might be desirable to lead visitors to different exchanges based on the activity they want to conduct, for example - Art for Sale, Add Art for Sale, Search for a Job, or Add & Update Jobs.

 

Exchanges typically have two levels of security: that which is accessible to the public for browsing and searching an exchange; and that which is accessible to a private group for adding and updating items to an exchange.  For example, a Job Exchange might allow all visitors (the public) to search for jobs while only allowing member employers (private group) to post jobs. Furthermore, an Art for Sale exchange might allow all visitors (the public) to search for Art while only allowing members (private group) to post art for sale. In such cases, separate links directly to the Search or Update pages can be created.

 

First, the Administrator must determine the URL for the target location by clicking on the Exchanges link created earlier. Then click on the desired exchange title.

 

 

 

The Viewing URL for exchange is located in the URL Address field of the browser. The Administrator should copy this address which will be pasted into a field in the menu builder.

 

 

Click on the Features Management link in the Site Management column of the Administration Menu.

Click on the Menu Builder link located on the Features management page.

 

Click on the button on the Search for Menus page and click on the menu title for the menu you wish to add the Exchanges link.

 

 

Click the button on the Menu Builder page.

 

Paste the URL copied in the earlier step and paste it into the URL field and click the URL Radio Button. Make the desired entries into the Topic, Menu Item and Sort Order fields and click on the  button.
