posting-an-agenda-newPost a Council agenda to the City website.
1. Log in to Kristi’s computer as kbucher.
Step 1. Save the new PDF
1. Save the newest hyperlinked agenda from Amy in this folder:
C:\Users\kbucher\Documents\+Sites+\City of Hopkins\council\meetings\pdf
Name the file agenda.pdf so it overwrites the old file.
Step 2. Upload the new PDF to website
1. Open the Dreamweaver application.
2. Once Dreamweaver opens, make sure (in the Files Panel) the drop down that selects the site
you’re editing is open to “City of Hopkins”.
3. Make sure the drop-down to the right of City of Hopkins is set to Local View.
4. Navigate through the file structure by clicking the + to expand the folder. Open up the folder
Council, then Meetings, then pdf. Click once on agenda.pdf to select it and then click the up
arrow (just under the City of Hopkins drop down) to upload it to the website. (The arrow will
turn blue when hovered over and say “Put file to Remote Server”)
5. Open up www.hopkinsmn.com/council/meetings/pdf/agenda.pdf and click refresh in the
browser to make sure the new PDF uploaded. If not, make sure you saved the files to the correct
folder under the step “Saving the new PDFs”. (If that still doesn’t seem to work, try looking on
another computer as your browser might just be being stubborn and showing you an old file!)
Step 3. Link to agenda
1. From the files panel, open up the file index.php in the
Council > Meetings folder by double-clicking. **There are
many files named index.php – make sure you’re in the right
folder** The page will have a gavel as the image.
2. In the Events box in the sidebar, after the time for the
meeting, hit “shift – enter” to make a new line and then type
“Agenda”.
3. Select the word Agenda and from the Properties panel
below, in the link box, type: “pdf/agenda.pdf” or use the
“pick whip” to click and drag to that file in the folder.
4. File > Save.
Step 6. Upload your change to the website.
1. In the Files Panel, select the index.php file and click the Up arrow (as in Step 2) to upload the file
to the website. Go to www.hopkinsmn.com/council/meetings/ to check your link to the agenda,
and make sure the agenda looks correct.
You’re done!
