7. Nodequeues

Nodequeues is a fancy way of saying "the order of things." This tools allows you to easily drag and drop items into the order that you like. For instance, if you have three carousel promo images on the Home page, you can manually arrange the order of those items with nodequeues. Nodequeues are also used for organizing the FAQs page, the Testimonials page, the carousel promo header on the home page, as well as the promos found on the front (Home) page, the bottom of static pages, and the sidebar. Adding other nodequeues would require custom development work.

Find the Nodequeue

Navigate to Admin > Structure > Nodequeues. This will show you a list of all the types of content that you can manage the order of.

Manage the Nodequeue

To manage the content in the nodequeue, follow these steps:

  1. Once you've navigated to the nodequeues, click VIEW on the right of that topic. This will take you to the list of the items that are currently in the nodequeue.

  2. To re-order the items in the list, grab the cross hairs to the left of the item's title to drag and drop the items into the order you want.

  3. You can also create parent/child menu items by dragging the cross hairs to the right. When dragged to the right, the menu option will become a child menu of the menu item just above it.

    Note

    Parent menu items are top-level menu items. Child menu items are nested submenus.

  4. You must select SAVE to confirm the changes you've made before leaving the page. Otherwise, the changes will not be reflected on the web portal.

Add an Item

To add an item to the nodequeue, follow these steps:

  1. At the bottom of the table, begin typing the title of your content.

  2. Once you begin typing, you will see the names of existing content beginning to appear. Click on the appropriate item, then click the ADD CONTENT button. This will add the promo to the list of promos above.

  3. The item will be added to the nodequeue table and on the portal.

  4. You can then reorder the content to fit your needs.

Remove an Item

To add an item to the nodequeue, follow these steps:

  1. Identify which item you would like to remove from the nodequeue.

  2. Click the remove link under the Operations column.

  3. You must select SAVE to confirm the removal of the item before leaving the page. Otherwise, the changes will not be reflected on the web portal.
