Adding a Resource
For more information on the Resource page (with filterable grid) - check out resources.md.
#Creating the Resource (basic page)
In the NationBuilder control panel - navigate to the blog:
Click the "New subpage" button to create a basic page (or signup) and add your content.
Resource Data Mappings
- Resource title - basic headline
- Resource description - basic content truncated to 60 words
- Resource download - if the Resource page has a file attached to it
- Tile will display "Download XXX" where XXX can be PDF, Word, document
Signup to view Resource
You can require a user to sign up to view a resource by instead of using a Basic page for the resource - you create it as a Signup page. This will require users to signup to the site before download the resource - meaning their data is stored on the user DB.
Resource Security
You an restrict user access to a resource by adding a tag page_security_user_tag:XXX to a resource - which will only let users with tag XXX download the resource.
The most common use-case here is restricting a resource to be "members only" by tagging it page_security_user_tag:members - so only users who are members can view.
Resource Filter Tags
Filter toggles for the Resources grid are created for each unique filter:XXX tag on a resource in the grid.
Example: Create Filter Tag called "AGM"
There are a couple resource for AGM Meeting Minutes. If you wanted to add a filter to the grid so people could easily find all of these - you would open each resource basic page in the control panel and add the tag filter:AGM. Once you have saved at least one resource with a given filter tag - the filter tag will be visible on the grid next time you refresh.
NOTE: there are some existing tags on current resources which instead of the convention filter:AGM follow the convention of document_AGM - this is the old method from before the new grid - so no need to continue adding these document_XXX tags.
