Defining Global Content

[fsces]

I have recently joined a children's shelter as the director and I'm responsible for maintaining the organization's website (http://www.childrensemergencyshelter.org). If you visit the site, you'll see that there is a left sidebar that shows information contained within global content blocks. I have been using CMS 1.9.2 "Tevairoa" (whatever that means) to edit the site, which is simple enough, but I cannot figure out how to define which global content block appears in the left sidebar of a new page. One newly created page is "Management" under the "Who We Are" menu tab.

Global content blocks are often called in the HTML template. If you determine which template your homepage uses, go open the template and look for that area of the page. There will be a bit of text that says {global_content name="whatever the name is"} - This will tell you which global content block is controlling that area of the page.

Then just go into the global content blocks (under the content menu in the admin section) and find the entry with that name.

That should do it. Open it up, edit to your hearts content.
