Removed the Help file for "Add Pages" from Public view in Settings. This file needs editing and extending by CS. It can be reinstated by scrolling to botttom of Public attributes and clicking on Help while holding Ctrl key down. Then clicking on Save at bottom.

Then put Help tab back again. The problem is that there is a hard wired link to this file from the subsidiary CS aid panel that opens up on the right side of the create article page.

Added an anonymous link to the end of the navigation panel for the hidden RDCA-GROUP area of the site (last red seax).

Created a new navigation panel. The content is heavily HTML based. Edit with care. To restore site to its original state merely remove all the HTML (there is a lot of it) and then type in whatever plain text you want, or just leave the box blank. The first link in the new navigation panel is "Home" which ties the panel better into what happens when you navigate off the home page.

Edited the scrolling banner .xml file to make banner images clickable. Extended to number of images to 9. Set up a page with an information image 01, and 9 other pages 01 to 09 each containing a 568x200 pixel image. The intention is that these pages can be edited easily. If this is done a copy of the image MUST be uploaded to the site - because the banner works from there and not from the image copies mentioned which are are only needed to fulfil the clickability criterion. To do site upload you must use FTP to put a replacement into the photo category on the site (where the xml file is located). If the numbering system is respected in both places all should be OK. Community Sites have provided FTP info and passwords for the banner images and for the photo folders on the site. The latter facility allows us to get at the header panel on the site and the default image for thumbnails. We are not allowed any deeper access to the site.

Removed "Home" from the left panel as it is unnecessary -"Home" always appears in the navigation panel when off the home page. There is a switch in Settings to turn "Home" on/off. A wait of some hours may be required before the change takes effect on the site.
