Extensions

netAdventist 3.0 contains basic functional components to help you get your site up and running right from the start. However, you will want to add additional functional components not included in the core system. These additional components can be activated by turning on extensions.


Here's how to use extensions:

  • Sign in to your netAdventist site.
  • Select the Dashboard link at the bottom of the home page.
  • Select the Settings tab at the top of the page.
  • Click on Extensions in the left menu. Extensions are added features to netAdventist 3.0. The Content extension should be familiar. This is the extension where news, announcements, events, and shared calendar content is entered.
  • Next, activate the extension by selecting the Activate link on the right side of the page. Turn on all the extensions first to see all of the extensions that are available. They can be deactivated by selecting Deactivate if not used.
  • Once the extensions are turned on, explore the different features that these new extensions provide. When turning on an extension, that extension may manifest itself as a menu tab (like Email lists or the Store), it may show up in the left menu, or it may display as a widget in the widget list.
