Hi there,

I created a new page ‘Postgraduate positions’ that should ideally appear as a submenu on the left menu when you click on ‘apply’ on top. For some reason, it shows up as part of the left menu when I click on the page itself, but not when I click on ‘apply’ (see picture below). Now, on this page below the text that is pasted there, we need a similar set up than for our ‘apply’ page. In short, we will add on job postings to this page that are for postgraduate positions. Currently when creating a new job we have two options (yale and non yale) and we would need a third option (postgraduate positions) to put certain listings on this page, again sorted by date. Thank you!

Hi Mavila,

The issue was: “Apply” page path has been set up with a different page path, so when you tried to add the sub menu “Postgraduate positions” it will appeared under “Apply” page that has the right path not under “Apply” page in the main menu, I fixed it for you by creating a new Apply page then from the view I added a new block name “Yale Postdoctoral Positions” assigned to Apply page. Now your sub menu is appear http://postdocs.yale.edu/yale-postdoctoral-positions.

Also I added the third option (postgraduate positions) to the Job Type field, then from the view I added a new block name (postgraduate positions) sorted by the date and assigned to (postgraduate positions) page.

Thanks,

Hi there, thanks for the modification. Could I ask you to do the same thing once again? What I’m envisioning is an Apply main page with general text and then two links on the left, one for postgrad positions (that you already created) and one for postdoc positions. Could you add on a category for our job listings to include ‘postdoc positions’ that would be directed to a new postdoc page that would appear as a sub-page in apply? The text on top of these jobs, which are currently listed on the ‘apply’ page, would be ‘Please see below for our postdoc positions’. After that merge the apply page should be empty and you can for now put in the following placeholder until I come up with a better text: “Please click the links to the left to view current openings for postdoctoral and postgraduate positions.”

Thank you!

Hi Mavi,

I checked the “Apply” page URL and I found out there was another page have the same URL, in this point if there is more than one page have the same URL that will create a loop of redirected paths, so I deleted all the redirected path in the other page.

Now the “Apply page have the right path http://postdocs.yale.edu/apply with “Thank you….” text in the content, and two sub menus “Postdoctoral Positions” and “Postgraduate Positions” in the left side.

Thanks,
