# CIHD Post Types ## Posts This is the default WordPress post type and is used for '[News](https://cihd.cores.utah.edu/news/ "CIHD News")' items. Utilize this post type for announcements and messages and any news to be displayed on the site. #### Creating Posts - There is not a standard format or template for these types of posts. - It is useful to have a **featured image** assigned so that it can provide context and interest in the news grids. ## Events This post type utilizes '**The Events Calendar**' (TEC) WordPress plugin. Event posts automatically have some event-specific meta data fields added to them such as: date, time, location, etc. Events are displayed under the [events calendar](https://cihd.cores.utah.edu/events/) and on the sidebar where present. The events calendar plugin provides functionality for users to subscribe to calendars or to save events to their own calendars. #### Creating Events - There is not necessarily a standard format or template for these types of posts with the exception of **Seminar Series Events** - A **featured image** creates interest and visual appeal in the events lists, but it is not necessary - Make sure a **timezone** is correctly assigned - for example, the multiomics monday seminars take place at 4pm *Eastern* time. So **New York** should be selected in the TEC timezone dropdown. - For special events, you can mark them as 'featured' or 'sticky' to emphasize them or make sure they are always visible. #### Seminar Series Events - A seminar series talk should be of post type **Event** and should be assigned the appropriate seminar in the **Events Categories** taxonomy. - When the above is implemented, the **Seminar Series Fields** will be visible and editable when editing the post.[![Seminar-Series-Fields.png](https://bookstack.cores.utah.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2025-03/scaled-1680-/seminar-series-fields.png)](https://bookstack.cores.utah.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2025-03/seminar-series-fields.png) - The Seminar Series Fields **meeting date and time** should be added in addition to the TEC date and time, and the values should match. - **Presenter Name** should have their credentials following their name. For example: 'Jane Doe, PhD' or 'John Smith, MD, PhD' - The post **Featured Image** can be set to be the presenter's image. This just makes it show up in some of the post grids and looks nice. ## Featured Publications\* \-- Coming soon -- ## Job Postings\* \-- Coming soon -- ## Members\* This post type represents all faculty and staff associated with CIHD. The member list populates the Utah CIHD Team on the [home page](https://cihd.cores.utah.edu/), the [faculty list](https://cihd.cores.utah.edu/faculty/), the [member list](https://cihd.cores.utah.edu/membership/) and the [contact us](https://cihd.cores.utah.edu/contact-us/) page depending on the attributes assigned to each member in the '**Roles**' box. #### Creating/Editing Members - **Title** of the member 'post' should be 'Last Name, First Name'. The title determines sorting in several locations and we'd like them to sort alphabetically by last name. - **Member Name and Title** should be in the format: '\[First\] \[Last\], \[Credentials\]'. For example: 'Jane Doe, PhD' or 'John Smith, MD, PhD' - The **Featured** flag determines if the faculty member should be 'featured' on the [main page](https://cihd.cores.utah.edu/#featured-faculty-section-1d731-2deb) of the website. ##### Contact Information - **Email Address** and **Phone Number** are self described. - **Member Contact Info URL** can be utilized to point to an address book entry for the user. For example, it could point to the university's address book for the member. This can give a bit more privacy for members. ##### Web Content - If a member should have their own page - ie, if they have been featured at any point - then the page should be given the '**Member Page Template**' by clicking on the WPBakery backend builder, clicking 'Default WordPress Theme Layout', then 'Add Template'. - The content that populates the template above comes from the **Featured Faculty Introduction** field so this field *should be populated* if the member has their own page. This field can have images and text. - All faculty who have their own page will have their picture outlined and clickable on the [faculty page](https://cihd.cores.utah.edu/faculty/). - The **Related** **Posts** field allows you to link a member to previous content - either media or posts - which will be listed under their name on the faculty page. - - This is mostly for historical reference.
