Editing Your Chapter Webpage

This training demonstrates how chapter adminsĀ can edit their chapterās public facing web page on our main website using an editing interface thatās on CCL Community and their chapter's CCL Community page.
How ToĀ Edit Your Website
To edit the content of your chapter website,Ā log in to CCL Community. Once signed in, go to the āToolsā section from the top menu and click "All Tools" and scroll down to the CCL Group Leader and Group Admin Tools header. HereĀ youāll have access to a the āChapter Page Edit Tool.' OnĀ that tool page there areĀ instructions and links to support videos.Ā
In order to use theĀ Chapter CCL Website Page Editor Tool make sure that your group leader has added you to the "Chapter Page Editor" role on yourĀ group's roster for you to be able to access this tool. After this step has been completed,Ā if you aren't able to access this tool, be sure to log out and then back in to your Community profileĀ to allow this permission to sync via clicking on your name in the the upper rightĀ and "Log Out" on the drop down as highlighted below:
Ā
If you still have challenges accessing your chapter page edit tool, sendĀ an email to CCL's Membership team atĀ membership@citizensclimatelobby.orgĀ for more support. Note: the intro video on the page is not editable but part of each chapter's page.
Accessing the Chapter Webpage
Anyone can go to www.citizensclimatelobby.org, and find the page for their chapter.Ā This unique chapter page can be found by clicking the āAboutā tab then in the drop down, then choosing āChapters.āĀ Once on the Chapters page, scroll down and find your chapter and click on the corresponding chapter name.Ā
Most of them have some generic information about CCL and at the bottom it has your chapter'sĀ email address.Ā This web page can be a really great marketing tool once you customize it for your chapter! As a group leader, youāll have access to edit the text and pictures on this page go customize it for your group.Ā Some information you can include are other nearby cities so people feel welcome, where and when your chapter meets, the names of group leaders so people know who theyāre emailing, and information about any events you have coming up.
Youāll also see that it has a custom URL with your chapter name, so you can distribute this on any business cards or recruiting materials you make for your area! Then, if you keep it updated, anyone who goes to that URL will have automatic access to all of the information they need to get involved with your chapter.
Note: If you donāt see your chapterās name in the list, this probably means that you donāt have an official group yet, and you can work with your state and regional coordinators to decide when it will be right for you to put an official group up on the website.Ā

Note: The "About Us" and "More Info" blocks on your group home page are publicly visible to all CCL members as well as non-logged-in users.

Every other page and area of your group (Events, Forums, Files, Photos, Videos, Members, Settings, etc.) requires a user to log-in in order to see and interact with the material.
