Adding/Editing Pages - Using Custom Fields
The Custom Fields section is located directly under the content editing area. In UMaine’s templates, the Features Page uses custom fields from each of its sub-pages to lay out content. Step-by-step instructions on creating and populating a Features Page:
- Create a new page and set the template to Features Page, then Publish.
- Create a second page–this will become your first “feature.”
- Put in your title and content however you like.
- Set the Page Parent to the Features Page you created in Step 1.
- Set 2 Custom Fields as outlined below (Name -> Value):

- thumb -> The URL to a square thumbnail image. See How to Get the Thumbnail URL.
