Choose what kind of animated transition will occur in between the slides.
This determines how much time each slide will remain on the screen before moving to the next.
This will influence how the display controls will look.
What you’ll need:
In the next steps, you’ll be using this information to register these people as Users on your site, and you’ll want at least this much information about each person before getting started.
First and foremost, you’ll want to have the users listed on your site. For more information on how to do this, refer to the Adding Users page.
By default all users are marked as ‘Private’, meaning they are not available to be displayed in the User List or User Table. Marking a user as ‘Public’ will allow them to be displayed. You can use Private to hide certain users. For example, you may want to mark a user Private if they are working on your site but are not considered a member of your group or team.
This is a powerful feature that can be used to create different types of user index pages. With tags you can create pages that will only display users with the “faculty” tag, or even only those users with both the “faculty” and “adjunct” tags. It’s very flexible but spelling matters, so be precise and consistent!
For best results upload your images as squares: 300 pixels x 300 pixels. Uploading other sizes or shapes will still display as squares, but it may force some of the original image to be cropped out.
The fields Title, Phone 1, Phone 2, Fax, Office Location, Office Hours, and Mailing Address can hold any text information you feel is relevant to those fields. There is no required format.
Remember to save your information by selecting ‘Update User’.
With shortcodes, you can quickly drop a few people into any page or post.

Table view displays all public users in a table. It shows their photo, name, title, phone1, email, office location, office hours, and courses.
If you would like to encourage people to email your users rather than call, add “phone1” to the hide_fields:

The fields that can be hidden are name, image, title, phone1, email, mailingAddress, officeLocation, officeHours, and courses.
Users can be entered with tags which can be used to mix and match any combination or subset of your users.
For example, if you tagged a number of your users with the word “faculty” you could then bring up a list of all “faculty” users with:
You can also use more than one tag and only display users that have all of those tags. For example, you could create a list of users that have the tags “faculty” and “adjunct” with:
Name
Title

You can add as many tags as you want to sort your users in as many ways as you can think of.
You can, of course, combine tags and hide_fields to create different combinations.

This is another method to create a page with a list of your users.
Update (July 2014): This method is still available in the themes Hale and Prudence, but it is highly recommended that users pursue the shortcode method outlined above. Future themes will no longer use these page templates.
This page will display the user’s photo if any was added, and a few key pieces of contact information. If you want to use the tags feature, you can make multiple User List or User Table pages, each with different tags, and sort people based on a number of criteria.
Paste the link to an RSS feed from the calendar into this section. You can follow the link next to the text field to create an RSS feed.
This is the number of upcoming events that will appear.
You can embed either a list of Upcoming events or a full Month view of events on any post or page using a shortcode.
The calendar number is the last number in the web address when viewing a specific calendar on events.uconn.edu.
Use this shortcode but replace the ‘cal’ number with that of your own calendar. You can the maximum amount of events that appear by changing the number next to ‘limit‘.
[uc_cal view="upcoming" cal="42" limit="10"]
Copy and paste the code below into your page and replace the cal number “42” for your calendar’s number. As an example, take a look at the current month of Aurora Training Calendar.
[uc_cal view="month" cal="42" limit="10"]
You can show events from multiple calendars by entering a comma separated list of calendars’ numbers.
[uc_cal view="month" cal="141, 42" limit="10"]
To create a list which displays all events for all days of a semester use the shortcode below. To select a different semester you can replace "Spring 2019" with Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall followed by a space and than the year you wish to show.
[uc_cal view="upcoming" cal="42" limit="10" semester="Spring 2019"]
You can only have one calendar shortcode on a page. Any additional shortcodes you add will be ignored by the system.
By default, people will be ordered alphabetically by first name.
This default ordering can be manipulated by altering the Order attribute of each person.
For example, if Abdul, Bogdan, and Carol are all set at order 0, they appear in alphabetical order by last name.
What's really happening behind the scenes though, is more like this:
So, if Bogdan's order number changes to "1", then first the list will display all of the 0's, and then all of the 1's, each in alphabetical order.
If we then change Abdul to a "1", we'll get this...
Using this field, it's possible to alter the default ordering of people in lists.
It is important to note that altering the order for a person will effect the order in which they are displayed in any list. If you're using more than one People page, this might be an issue.
This feature allows users to add a menu to a page. On the edit screen for any given page you will see a menu on the right entitled 'In-Page Menus'. Simply choose which menu you would like to have displayed and choose a style (Tabs on top of the page or List on the right). In page menus do not support nested menu items; they are only one level deep. Note that you can also have a menu displayed on the side of the page by adding a sidebar to it and configuring the sidebar to display the specific menu.
To make a single page private in an otherwise public site, simply edit the Visibility attribute of the page, located within the Publish block on the top right when editing a page.
Making a page private will:
Having a private page will limit the access to that page. However, any images, documents, or other media on the page will not be private unless each individual file is set to private using our private uploads feature. This feature is appropriate for sites that wish to limit access to certain content, but do not require things to be secure in a more rigorous sense.
Keep in mind that these pages do not meet legal standards for security.
This page template will automatically generate a list of all pages from your Aurora site and list them in alphabetical order.
To assign a page the A-Z index template, locate the menu on the right side of the editing screen entitled ‘Page Attributes.’ Under ‘Template‘, select ‘A-Z Index‘.
For a working example, view the Aurora site’s A-Z Index.
By default, the A-Z Index will display every single published page in the site, but it is possible to override that behavior and specify a few pages to leave out.
To do this, first you must find the ID number of the page you wish to exclude. Edit the page in question, and look at the URL bar in your browser. You’ll see a number there that looks like this:
Next, you’ll edit the A-Z Index page. If you scroll down, you’ll see a box labeled custom fields.
If you don’t see this box, you’ll want to go to the ‘Screen Options’ tab at the very top right of the page and click the checkbox next to Custom Fields, and then scroll down once more.
In the Custom Fields box, add a new custom field called exclude, and add the number of the page to exclude. When adding multiple pages, use a comma to separate the ID numbers.
Save the changes to the page, and you’re done!
