4. Make sure you’ve done these things before you go live

‣
Go live checklist
Change all links in the footer and copy-paste the new footer to every page and project.
Check the favicon, update if necessary in the snippet code.
Amend the meta description in the snippet code.
Check that all navigation labels and links are correct and that they point to the right pages. Note, they do not automatically update when you amend page names or add new pages. The default ‘Writing’ link goes to Medium.com so that needs to updated or removed too.
Add pretty links for your pages and projects into Super’s pretty URL settings.

Change log · Last update 14 Jan

Can’t believe I’ve made a product that requires a change log. But here goes.

‣
14 Jan 2021 · Page Properties

Super released a new feature that enabled page properties to be displayed. This is the meta data on database pages. In the original version of this template we used those properties to drive the content that displayed in the gallery views (projects grid) but then we had to duplicate the title and disciplines on the content of the page to get it to display on the project page.

This new version does away with that duplication. Now you can simply manage the title and disciplines within the page properties and they will display automatically on the project page.

If you haven’t used the template yet, just refer the to the instructions above as normal.

If you have an existing site read on: 1. Update your site on Super

2. Update your snippet using the code in the instructions

3. Set ‘Show or Hide page properties’ to ‘Show’

4. Remove the titles and disciplines from the body of each project

5. Hide the other properties from the page.

‣
Here’s how to hide the properties
  1. From any project page click the three dots icon.
  2. Click Customise page
  3. Set the visibility of each property to the options shown below.
Updating these settings updates for all projects in the same database

6. Check it all looks good and let me know if you have any issues.
