Launch Status
Changing the Launch Status for a particular launch event should be done as follows:
- Edit the home page and manually edit the text block. Options are:
- Green Thumbs up
- Red thumbs down – Add text for reason
- Images come from the media manager, search for images under the “Icons” category
- Edit the Launch Info page repeating the same process.
- If a launch is cancelled also update the event with CANCELLED in the title and an explanation of why it was cancelled in the description.
Currently a manual process, but longer term plan to build widget that will update on both the Launch and Home page simultaneously.
