Resources

What it is for​

Everything in the website's Resources section (and the Getting Started Right videos) is created here. No developer is needed to publish content.

Before you start​

  • Resources access.
  • The content: text, a cover image, and the media file (MP3, MP4, PDF) or an external/YouTube link.

Steps: publish a resource​

  1. Resources → New resource. Choose the category (article, devotional, suggested reading, audio, video, document) and language (English or Spanish).

  2. Enter the title; the web address (slug) is generated from it. Write the body as plain paragraphs separated by blank lines.

  3. Cover image: upload one or pick from the cover library.

  4. Media: upload the file. Large videos upload straight to EMAW's media storage with a progress bar; the duration and size are filled in automatically. Or paste a YouTube or external link instead.

  5. Save, then Publish. It is live on the website within a minute.

Steps: update or replace media​

  1. Open the resource, upload the new file (the old one stays available until you save), Save.
  2. The website shows the new file; the old address keeps working for a while because of caching, which is expected.

Steps: unpublish​

Open the resource → Unpublish. It disappears from the website but is kept here.

Tips and troubleshooting​

  • Featured resources appear first on the website.
  • Upload fails immediately: the media storage is not configured on this environment (the dev site may be mid-setup); tell the developers.
  • Keep file names simple; the stored name is generated anyway.
  • Getting Started Right shows specific resources in a fixed order; to change which videos appear there, ask a developer (it is set in the website code).
