  3. Contact area

Contact area

The contact area appears in the right-hand column of your website and automatically displays the contact information on all pages of your institution, provided that the right-hand column is not hidden. The content is maintained in a central location and applies to all pages within your areas.

Content

  • Edit the contact area
  • Clear the frontend cache

Edit the contact area

To do this, you need access to your institution’s functional pages (FP).

  1. Open the Page module from the left-hand module menu.
  2. In the page tree, navigate to your institution’s fp-[abbreviation] folder.
  3. Click on the "Kontakt-rechts" page.
  4. Select the “Text & Media” content element that contains the contact section.
  5. Click the Edit icon (pencil) next to the element.
  6. Update the content as required. For the heading, set Type = H2.
  7. Save your changes by clicking "Save and Close".

Clear the frontend cache

Since the contact section is displayed on all pages within your area, you must clear the cache for the entire page branch after every change. Otherwise, visitors may still see the previous version.

How to clear the cache:

  1. In the page tree, right-click on your institution’s abbreviation level (the top-level page of your institution).
  2. In the context menu, scroll to the bottom and select “Clear cache for this branch” (lightning bolt ⚡ icon).
  3. Click the option to clear the cache for all subpages within that branch.

Once the cache has been cleared, the updated contact information will be visible to visitors across all pages in your area.
