Classic portlets

How to edit the pages that still use the older inline portlet editor, and which pages those are.

A few built-in pages are still edited with an older style of editable content called a portlet. A portlet is a single editable section on the page, edited inline, rather than a page built from separate blocks.

Note

Portlets are being replaced by the page editor. Your content pages and your homepage already use it, and the pages below will follow. Nothing you have written will need moving when they do.

Which pages still use a portlet

PageWhat the portlet controls
MembershipThe text above your membership options
PassesThe text above your list of passes
ContactThe text above the contact form
PaymentThe text above the one-off payment form

Each of these has a default wording, so the page reads sensibly before you edit anything.

Editing a portlet

  1. Navigate to the page.
  2. Click Edit Page in the toolbar (available to users with the Manage Content permission).
  3. Use the portlet's toolbar, in its top-right corner, to edit the content.
IconWhat it does
Pencil iconStarts editing the portlet, opening the rich text editor.
Check mark iconSaves your changes and stops editing this portlet.
X iconDiscards your changes and reverts to the original content.
Trash iconDeletes the portlet. Only available on certain portlets.

Notes:

  • Only one portlet can be edited at a time.
  • The Done Editing button is disabled while a portlet is open for editing.
  • If you try to leave the page with unsaved changes, you will be warned.

Permissions

Editing portlets requires the Manage Content permission, the same permission used for content pages.
