Here is what the Create Topic page looks like. The annotation numbers point to the notes below.
(1) Title name
(required) Defines the name which the Lyris Web Interface will use to refer to this topic. This name is only seen by administrators.
(2) Description
(required) A few words used to describe this topic. These words will be displayed in the Lyris Web Interface.
(3) Long description
(optional) Reference to a Document which describes this topic.
(4) Logo
(optional) The URL to a web-ready graphic to be displayed in the Lyris Web Interface for this Topic. Since the Lyris Web Interface uses white as a background color for
all the web pages, it is a good idea to make your graphic look good on a white background. This URL can be a local path (off of your Web Server's document root), such as /graphics/logo.gif
or a full URL, as in http://www.company.com/graphics/logo.gif. If you specify a full URL, the graphic does not need to reside on the same Web server as the Lyris Web Interface. This is
convenient, because it means that the user can update the logo graphic without having access to the hard drive on the machine running Lyris.
The Topic Logo is displayed on the Lyris Home Page for your Site. If no Topic Logo is defined (it is optional), the Topic Description text is displayed instead.
(5) Comment
(optional) Reference to a Document with comments about this Topic.
(6) Sponsor
(optional) Reference to a Document describing the organization sponsoring this Topic.
(7) Home page
(optional) The URL to the web site for this Topic.
(8) Sponsor logo

security privileges.
