Issue/Request: 

Hello,

I’m not responsible for the entire Chemistry site, only the Undergraduate portion.

I’m requesting help with the following items and although I’m requesting office hours I can also meet over the phone. Whatever you think is best is fine with me.

1. Under Academic tab –> Undergraduate Home –> Course Taken Elsewhere: the links in this page go to pages which are formatted completely differently and I would like to fix this but don’t know how.

2. Under Academic tab –> Undergraduate Home –> Undergraduate Teaching Laboratories: this is a view. I’m not too familiar with views and would like to learn how to edit information in a view. I would also like to add a block under the view with Laboratory Safety information and I don’t know how.

Thank you for your time and for your help.

Sincerely, Laura DeMonte

Hi Laura;
I have the block set up on the Undergraduate Teaching Staff page for the Laboratory Safety Information. I just put that title in and the word ‘test’ in the body. Of course you can change that to whatever you want.
 
I am still looking for an answer to adding a page title of Undergraduate Teaching Laboratories above the present title of Undergraduate Teaching Staff. I will let you know when I get that resolved.
 
It was so nice to speak with you today. I hope that I answered all your website needs.
 
Regards,

Hi Laura;

I believe that I solved the titling problem on the Undergrad Teaching Laboratories/Staff page, http://dev.chem.yale.edu/people/undergraduate-teaching-staff, take a look and see if this format works for you.

How I did it:

I changed the name of the original title to Undergrad Teaching Staff in the view by using rewrite results and tokens on the people type field. Then I added a block above the view and used the body text to insert the title of Undergrad Teaching Laboratories.

Please take a look and let me know if these changes solve the issues above.

Regards,
