Trying to change Careers->Job Postings in Elemental
Permalink
I am very new to Concrete5. I have watched the videos and read the docs and am now playing with the Elemental theme that came with Concrete5. I am trying to modify the Team->Careers page and the Job Postings child pages. I changed the name and title of the Careers page to Employee Referral Program. I did not change the url. On the Job Posting page, it still has a link that says "Back to Careers". I want it to use the new name.
If I try to edit the block that says "Back to Careers", I get a message saying "This block is an alias of Page Defaults. Editing it here will "disconnect" it so changes to Page Defaults will no longer affect this block." I've read the information regarding the Page Defaults but I haven't found a way to view or edit the page defaults. It looks like it may have changed in 5.7 because most discussions on the web refence options I don't have (I am logged in as admin so I don't think it is a permission issue).
Can anyone tell me how to edit page defaults? Did I do something wrong when I changed the Careers page? Maybe there was a better way to handle this simple change?
Thanks in advance.

I guess what is unclear to me is whether changing it on a single Job Posting page will change it for all. And if a new Job Posting is created using the Composer, what will it create for the link?

To reuse this page using Composer, you can edit the Job Posting Page Type defaults.
- go to the defaults for that page type
Dashboard > Pages & Themes > Page Types > Job Posting row > Output button > Edit Defaults button
- enter edit mode
- edit the Content block with the "Back to Careers" link, changing it to "Back to Employee Referral Program"
- save the Content block
- exit edit mode
When you create a new Job Posting page, the "Back to Careers" text should now be "Back to Employee Referral Program". The text link will still point to the Careers page - /team/careers

Thank you MrKDilkington, that's exactly what I was looking for! Output may have been the only option I didn't go into :) Thanks again!
The "Back to Careers" link is created using the Content block and links to another page. I don't think you need to worry about page defaults when editing it.
