Add related content to profiles
On Stanford Sites, we have made it easy to list related news items and publications on individual person profile pages.
About related content
One of the benefits of using a content management system like Stanford Sites is the ability to create relationships between different types of content. This provides site visitors different ways to explore the content on your site and makes it easier for you to keep your site content up-to-date.
When adding a new news item or a new publication, you can indicate one or more related people right from the edit form for the content. There is no need to edit the individual profile.
Related news
To add related news to one or more profiles on your site:
- Edit a news item
