Website Settings * Website Style

The Website Settings option on the navigation bar provides options for specifying access to the class website and materials, a style or design for the class website, and whether certain display options are available on the class website.

The Website Settings links are:

• Access Control : Specifies access privileges for the class or section website and assigns users to user groups. These settings control who can look at the class or section, read materials, submit homework, and participate in discussions.
• Edit Navigation Bar : Customizes the navigation bar by hiding and displaying links, changing link labels, adding links to class materials and to other websites on the Internet, or converting to an OpenCourseWare-style navigation bar.
• Manage Sections : Sets up and edits recitation sections.
• Import Content : Copies content from another of your Stellar class websites to a class website for the current semester.
• Edit Class Metadata : Set keywords and other metadata for your class website.

Website Style

Use this option to choose a style template for the class website.

Stellar Site Templates

Check a display option to enable it; remove the check to disable the option.

• Show document details : Displays a long version of document citation details if checked; otherwise displays a short version.
  The long view details the document's type (e.g., reading), file format (e.g., PDF), size, summary of its contents, the date it was last modified and by whom.
  The short view details the document's type (e.g., reading), file format (e.g., PDF), and size.
• Enable unpacking of ZIP or JAR files : Enables the uploading of compound documents containing more than one file (such as a .zip file, an HTML page and embedded image files or several PDF pages). You would select this option if you are uploading compound documents as class materials. (See Adding Documents to Topics.)
• Show meeting times as single large HTML field : Displays a large text-entry box for the Meeting Times on the Edit Homepage. This is useful if a class or section has more than five meeting times and locations, (i.e., more than fit in the default Meeting Times grid). You can then add the information as plain or HTML text . For example, the following HTML statement :

<p><b>Recitation:</b>   Thursday, 10:30 a.m.   (9-250) </p>

produces the following output :

Recitation: Thursday, 10:30 a.m. (9-250)

See Changing Meeting Types, Times, and Dates on the Homepage for more information.
