This article is aimed to explain how to create a TMG group member page

In order to create your own page, there are some easy steps follow.

Contents

Create

Create a page from scratch, please see How to create a page

Copy

Copy the source of Sample Group Member page (You can do it by clicking "Edit" on the page)

Paste

Paste it to your page's content

Modify

Modify it according to your needs. There are some points that you need be careful about. As you will see, template code seems a bit messy. It might scare you in the beginning but it is actually very simple.

About section

The line starts with {{About about|.....}} is the about section of the page. It is actually using a custom template About and passing a parameter "about" and the value after "=". Whatever you write after equal sign, it will placed at the top of your page. This can be considered as a very brief information about the page, lets say its metadata.

Infobox.member

Infobox is the box that stays on the right-hand side of the page. It also uses the template-parameter model. You only change the parameters, and it is shown accordingly. If you don't pass value to parameter, it wont be shown.

Putting your image

First you need to upload your image by sending the "Upload File" in the side menu. When you browsed and selected the file, it should generate the file name automatically, please keep the filename in mind. Simply upload the file and come back to your page. Only thing you have to do is to write the file name with its extension i.e. gif,jpg etc. (image = picture.jpg)
