Plymouth Marjon University SiteManager Support Blog

A new section ( redirects ) was created in the hierarchy as below under 'courses/courses': the current course section was duplicated from course/course into this new section. Content needs adding to each of the sections that need to be redirected using the ' Redirects ' content type.        where URL is the full url of the new page. Approve the new piece of content that you have added. Update the 'Page Layout' of the section to ' Redirects ' on the 'Marjon 2013' Channel Publish the section on the Marjon 2013 channel- when the publish has finished the last line of the output on the screen will contain the url to test.  Copy this to clipboard and append it to http://t4 to make the full url to test (in this case http://t4/courses/redirects/courses/business-management/) You should be redirected to the new page url that you created in your content --------------------------------------...

The University will soon be upgrading from version 7 to version 8 of TerminalFour SiteManager.  Below is a first look at the enhanced user interface.  There are a number of added features and enhancements including Google Analytics measurement -y ou can use analytics to collect data about traffic to your pages, conversation rate, types of visitors, bounce rate and many other things.

You need to create the campaign url of the page you want to redirect to which should be the event page + the campaign tags . You create this using the 'Google URL Builder' - https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en Google Analytics will then track any traffic that you have using the campaign tags specific to the tags you add. So if anyone goes to www.marjon.ac.uk/shakespeare2015 they will be redirected to the event page + the campaign tags page and this will show up in the statistics under the campaign you have created. FOR the ONLINE campaign via Email: you just embed the URL you are sending in your email with the tags and it sho...
