Dean Peckenpaugh is a very, very smart man…….
So, it turns out the “Darkhaven Guilds” page is actually a DYNAMIC page which constantly scans the guild category and dynamically updates the page as guilds are added or subtracted from the category. It’s effing BRILLIANT!!!!
I went through and cleaned up the guilds simply by removing them from the “Guild” category. Their posts and pages still exist so it’s as simple as checkmarking “Guilds” in the Categories to re-activate their page.
The absolutely genius part of Dean’s design is folks with Guild Editor perms can edit, create, share, publish guild info so the Darkhaven Guilds page is as updated as the community WILLS it to be!! It’s not controlled by any one person or entity or admin. It’s controlled by the entire COMMUNITY!!
The pages are listed under “Private” visibility so it keeps the blog posts clutter down however they can be navigated to through the links on the Guild Page. Just so much awesome in how it’s all thought out.
Dude….seriously, I bow down to these kinds of forward thinking, brilliant design decisions!!!
Anyway, I’m going to write up a tutorial for how YOU can add and take ownership of YOUR guild page! In the mean time, if you want and changes to the guild pages or want to add your guilds let me know!
