Block Regions are areas on a Web page where blocks can be placed. Using Block Regions to place blocks on a page is different than adding blocks directly to a Horizontal Landing Page, Vertical Landing Page, or Multipurpose page.

Available Block Regions in the GT Theme

The following regions are available in the GT Theme.  If you are using a different theme, it will likely have a different set of regions.

The following instructions show how to make it easier to read Webform data sent in emails (for Webform 7.x-3.x).

Under the Emails tab for a Webform, find the section titled Email template.

Mercury provides a variety of ways to categorize and tag your content, and understanding their meanings will help you to utilize them effectively.

Core Research Areas

Georgia Tech has organized its research into core areas of special interest, and encourages you to tag News items with these areas in Mercury.  These research area tags are used to help find stories:

1. ​Navigate to Structure > Menus, or you can get there by hovering over the gold primary menu bar until a little cog appears in the upper right-hand corner. Click on the cog.
2. You will see a list of links in your primary menu.
3. Select the Add Link button.
4. In the Path field, enter a path for the link.
   • This can be an internal Drupal path such as "node/add." or an external URL such as http://exa

Embedding Georgia Tech MediaSpace Repository Content

A good solution for the Georgia Tech MediaSpace (Kaltura) repository has not been developed yet.  In the meantime, an experimental MediaSpace embed module is available for Drupal 7 and Drupal 10 from the developer who created the embed module for the now retired OIT Digital Media Repository.  Use at your own risk!

Process for Adding a Page

1. After logging in to your website, you will see a black menu bar across the top (if you do not see a black menu bar, contact your site administrator for assistance).

Super Blocks are only available if your site has the Georgia Tech Super Block module installed.

Creating a Super Block

To start making a new Super Block, use the Administrative toolbar (the black bar across the top of your site). Choose Content > Add content > Super Block.

After the new Super Block form opens, you can enter your information into the fields described below.

This section contains guides to creating and managing content pages in Drupal.  Please see the Editing Page Content section for details on how to create and edit page content using CKEditor, the popular What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) text editor, which on some sites is packaged as the GT Editor.  Additional content editing topics can be found in our All About Blocks section and our Photos and Videos section.
