Addresses on your site
Many settings ask for a link or Goes to address: a button, a promo box, a menu. This page lists the addresses you can give them, and what must be switched on for each to work. Write them as shown, starting with / for a page on your own site and # for a section of the home page.
Each address on the site is shown as the part after your site's name. If your site is https://choir.example.org, then /tickets is https://choir.example.org/tickets.
Public pages
| Address | What it is | What switches it on |
|---|---|---|
/ | The home page | Always |
#home | The top of the home page (the hero) | Always |
#about | The About section | Always |
#concerts | The Concerts section | Concerts section and ticket links |
#contact | The Contact section | Always |
/tickets | The Tickets page | Tickets page and Concerts section and ticket links |
/tickets#subscriptions | The season subscription box on the Tickets page | The Tickets page, and Show the season subscription box in Site Settings, Tickets page |
/tickets/order/ followed by a private code | A buyer's own tickets. Sent to them by email; never guess or publish one. | Works as long as the order exists, even if tickets are later switched off |
/donate | The Donate page | Donate page |
/donate/thanks/ followed by a private code | A giver's thank-you page and the state of their gift. Sent to them; never guess or publish one. | Works as long as the gift exists, even if the Donate page is later switched off |
/gallery | The Gallery page | Photo and video gallery |
/auditions | The Auditions page | Auditions page |
/past-events | The Past Events page | Past events page |
/past-directors | The Past Directors page | Past directors page |
/resources | The Resources page | Resources page (off until you switch it on) |
/p/ followed by a page's address | One of your own pages. For a page whose address is our-story, it is /p/our-story. | The page exists and is visible (not a draft) |
/unsubscribe | The page where someone stops, or restarts, a kind of email. The links in emails lead here. Do not write it yourself: each link carries a signature that belongs to its reader. | Always |
For a link to a web address outside your site, write the whole address starting with https://. For an email address, write mailto:someone@example.org. A phone number can be a tel: address.
Member portal
All of these need Member portal to be on (on a site we host, the Starter or Premium plan), and the ones below it need their own switch too.
| Address | What it is | Also needs |
|---|---|---|
/member/login | Where a member asks for a login link | |
/member | The member portal's home: announcements and upcoming events | |
/member/schedule | The schedule | Member portal: schedule |
/member/tracks | Rehearsal tracks | Member portal: rehearsal tracks |
/member/files | Member files | Member portal: files |
/member/links | Useful links | Member portal: useful links |
/member/directory | The list of members | Members can see the list of members in Site Settings, Member portal |
Admin panel
| Address | What it is |
|---|---|
/admin | Goes to the dashboard (or to the login page if you are not logged in) |
/admin/login | The admin login |
/admin/dashboard and the pages below it | The admin panel itself. Which pages appear depends on your role and on which features are on; see Roles and permissions and A tour of the admin panel. |
The footer shows a link to the admin login only if Show the admin login link is on in Site Settings, Footer. Turning it off hides the link; the address still works.
What search engines and link previews are told
Each page is sent with a few lines that say what it is, for search engines and for the preview shown when a link is shared. See How your site looks when a link is shared.
| Addresses | What is sent |
|---|---|
The public pages: /, /tickets, /donate, /auditions, /gallery, /past-events, /past-directors, /resources and /p/ followed by a page's address | Your choir's name, description, icon and preview picture, and the page's own proper address. |
/tickets/order/…, /donate/thanks/… and /unsubscribe | Your name and icon, and a request to search engines not to list the page. |
Everything under /member and /admin | The same: name, icon, and a request not to be listed. |
| Any other address | Your name and icon only. The visitor is taken to the home page. |
Capital letters, a slash at the end or a doubled slash make no difference: /Tickets/ is the Tickets page, and its proper address is given as /tickets.
Addresses your own pages may not use
When you add a page, you choose its address, the part after /p/. A page may not use a word the site uses itself. Choosing one of these is refused with "... is used by the site itself; choose another address":
admin, member, api, files, tickets, donate, auditions, gallery, past-events, past-directors, resources, login, unsubscribe
An address is made of lower-case letters, digits and hyphens, up to 80 characters. Other characters are turned into hyphens.
What happens at an address that is off or does not exist
- A page whose feature is switched off (for example
/gallerywith the gallery off) sends the visitor to the home page. See Feature switches. - An address that does not exist also goes to the home page: the site does not show a "page not found" message.
- One of your own pages that is a draft, or has been deleted, goes to the home page.
- A member page when the member portal is off goes to the home page. A member who is not logged in is asked to log in.
- Files such as pictures are served at
/files/followed by the file's name. You do not choose these; the site makes them when you upload.
See Drafts, menus and the order of your pages for your own pages.
