By reading this article you will realize how easy it is to have the Mobile Application (App) and Website constantly updated with all its news.

This feature is available for any Kyrios ChMS subscription, from a Diocese to a catechist who simply wants to share information and content with everyone who may be interested. Using Kyrios, this is so easy that you will never need help again.

First, you must have a valid subscription and with the Website module active, for that and if you are not a subscriber, you must subscribe one of the following options:

What do you need to know to understand the working logic?

First of all, it is useful to understand some concepts of how the various elements that allow the functioning of a website on Kyrios come together.

Thus, in the website module we have:

Sections
settings
Menus
Contents
Events

Before we even move on to the configurations of a website, we must keep in mind the structure that we intend. In this sense, we must prepare the necessary sections.

First you must access Kyrios (https://portal.kyrioscloud.com) and use your access data to enter:

Sections #

The content organization logic is based on sections.

Sections are a file style, which serves to classify content. These sections can then be associated with contents and menus, in this way we can create content listings in a very simple and practical way.

By default, a subscription does not have any section created, so we must create as many sections as we need.

To start with, we should create at least the news and events sections. These will be the sections that will serve to associate all the news to be published on the website and in the app, as well as the events. But you can create many more, for example, at the time of a parish's festivities it might make sense to create a section that aggregates all the content associated with that festivities and at that time that section may be highlighted on the page and in the app.

To create a section you must follow these steps (in this case we will create the news section):

Open the sections by clicking on Homepage -> Sections
Then click on
The creation window will open, where you must fill in the fields:
1. description – name of the section;
2. reference – section name with no spaces and no special characters;
3. At the end click on save.

You should create all the sections you need.

But don't worry, you can create it whenever you need it.

Now that you have the sections created (you must have at least the news section created), you must carry out the main settings of your Website / App.

To do this, you must:

Access the website settings found under Internet Page -> Settings:
Here you must fill in the following information:
1. Compete the Url: you must put the address without spaces and without special characters that you want for your website. We advise it to be the name of the parish. This name will be associated with the kyrios domain, for example if you put demoonline in this field the final address will be https://demoonline.kyrioschms.com;
2. E-mail: the e-mail address will be used to receive the data that can be filled in in the contact form on the website;
3. Share content (news/events) on the Kyrios mobile app: You must activate this option so that the Kyrios App can display your website. Having this option enabled you can tell your community to install the Kyrios App, so they can set your subscription as default, thus making the App as if it were your App;
4. Facebook Url: if you have it, you should put your Facebook page address here;
5. Twitter url: if you have it, you should put your Twitter page address here;
6. Youtube url: if you have it, you must put the address of your Youtube page here;
7. Soundcloud Url: if you have, you should put your Soundcloud page address here;
8. Main section – news section: you must select the section you configured to associate the news (if you haven't created the sections yet, see how to create it below);
9. Right Section – Parish Registry Content: Select the content that will present the service's opening hours and information;
10. Right Section – Eucharist Content: Select the content that will display the Eucharist schedule (if applicable);
11. Right Section – Confessions Content: Select the content that will display the confession schedule (if applicable);
12. Right Section – Patient Visit Content: Select the content that will display the patient visit schedule (if applicable);
13. At the end click on save to save the changes.

Menus #

At this point, if you have activated the “Share content” option, you can now open the Kyrios application and you will find your subscription so that you can mark it as “Next” to keep up with all the news.

At this moment we are going to create the main menu of the Page and the App. Let's access the Internet Page -> Menus:

Now we click on or in if we prefer to edit an existing menu.

In this example we are going to create a new menu, called The institution and inside this menu I want to find some sub-menu items, like this example:

The institution:

Who we are
Valences
News
Schedule
Contacts

To create a new main menu item, we click on and then fill in the form as follows:

Title - will have the menu name: the institution
Section - in this case, as I don't want to open any content, I should only show the sub-menu, I leave it blank
Content - in this case, as I don't want to open any content, I will only have to display the sub-menu, I leave it blank
Layout - in this case as I don't want it to open any content, it should only display the sub-menu, I leave it blank
Sub-menus – this is where we will create the menu items, which will be associated with contents or sections (if the contents or sections do not exist, they must be created and later associated).
- Who we are – let's create the submenu, for that we click on the button which is located beside the order column and our sub-menu line will appear, which we will fill in as follows:
  - Order - here as our first element (this field serves to order the order of the elements) let's put the number 1
  - Title - Who we are
  - Section – is blank, because we want to display content
  - Content - we select content that has already been created with the presentation of who we are
  - Layout – in this case, as it is a page to present a content, we must select “News Details”;
- Valences – let's create the submenu, for that we click on the button which is located beside the order column and our sub-menu line will appear, which we will fill in as follows:
  - Order - 2
  - Title - Valuations
  - Section - it is blank, because we want to present a content, however if we wanted to present a list with the different valences and in which each valence would have its presentation, here we should select the section
  - Content - we select the content that has already been created with the presentation of the valences
  - Layout – in this case, as it is a page to present a content, we must select “News Details”;
- News – let's create the submenu, for that we click on the button which is located beside the order column and our sub-menu line will appear, which we will fill in as follows:
  - Order - 3
  - Title – News
  - Section – You should select the News section (or the one you created to present the news)
  - Content – is blank, because we want to display a section's content listing
  - Layout – in this case as it is a page to present a list of contents, we must select “Listing of news”;
- Schedule – let's create the submenu, for that we click on the button which is located beside the order column and our sub-menu line will appear, which we will fill in as follows:
  - Order - 4
  - Title - Agenda
  - Section – You must select the Agenda section (or the one you have created to display the Agenda)
  - Content – is blank, because we want to display a section's content listing
  - Layout – in this case, as it is a page to present a list of contents of the agenda type, we must select “Agenda Listing”;
- Contacts – let's create the submenu, for that we click on the button which is located beside the order column and our sub-menu line will appear, which we will fill in as follows:
  - Order – 5
  - Title – Contacts
  - Section – is blank, because we want to submit a contact form
  - Content – is blank because we want to submit a contact form
  - Layout – in this case as it is a page to present a contact form we must select “Contact form”. On this page the subscription contacts will appear and if you prefer you can choose to associate a normal content with all the contacts instead of using a typified form;

The final look is this:

We must create the various menu items that are required for the Website.

After this step the Website and App are fully configured and from this moment on, we only need to add content and events. So this is the simple and routine task that any user can do. By the way, did you know that you can create and manage your own users, defining what each one has access to? see how on here.
