Update settings (Current / Recent)

News “Current / Recent” windows

Items newer than the Current window show as Current. Older items up to the Recent window show as Recent; anything older moves to Archive.

Quote rotation

How often the homepage quote and its background change — at a fixed interval (e.g. every 1 hour, every 1 day) or a new random one each visit.

Gallery photo retention

How long photos stay in the main gallery view, and how long older photos remain viewable.

Current classification

Recent Days is always greater than Current Days. English is the default homepage.

Admin Account Maintenance

Change password

Session

Default username: admin. Default password: ChangeMe123! — you must change it on first login.

Homepage background and welcome text box

Change homepage background

This image is used for the Hero section and will appear on both Vietnamese and English pages. A wide landscape image is recommended.

Current background

Homepage background preview

Welcome text box size / position

Move and resize the “Tịnh Xá Ngọc Hưng” welcome box with x/y coordinates. Defaults show the current v22 values.

x=20%, y=50%, width=700px, padding=44px, bg=current

Tips

If the box covers the statue, increase X to move it right. If text is hard to read, choose Dark glass. Mobile automatically uses a safe layout.

News & Events Maintenance

Add / edit news & events

When checked, enter an expiration date. This item stays at the top until it expires.

Use this when the cover image is a complete invitation card. Visitors can still click it to open details.

Upload a group of images so the site can show a randomized 4–5 photo preview and open the full album.

Manage news and events

Temple hours, weekly practice & notices

Temple hours

One item per line. Shown in the top info strip and the Contact section, on both languages.

Weekly practice

Short-term notice / exception

Optional. Use for temporary changes (e.g. “No Sunday service on July 5” or adjusted hours). Leave blank to hide the banner.

How this shows

Temple hours and weekly practice appear in the top info strip and in the Contact section. A notice creates a highlighted banner above the info strip on both language pages — ideal for short-term changes or exceptions. Permanent edits simply replace the default text. Changes appear on both languages and sync to the website when you Publish.

Gallery Maintenance

The Gallery shows each album as one thumbnail: every Event photo album (photos taken at an event), one General activities album, and the permanent Temple album. Albums are sorted by creation date, newest first. Edit an album to flip through photos, remove some, remove all, or upload more. Delete removes the whole album (type the name to confirm; the Temple album can’t be deleted). An album with no photos is removed from the page automatically.

Add photos / create an album

Add to the Gallery

The three album types

General activities — loose activity photos collected into one album. Event photo album — pictures taken at an event, each its own titled thumbnail that never expires. Temple — permanent temple/shrine/statue photos, never auto-deleted. Poster images on a News/Event post are separate and do not appear here.
