Manage Your Site's Content

The first section available from the Admin homescreen is 'Content', here we will just be looking at the 'Pages' option contained within 'Content'.

Content, Pages

Click on 'Pages' under the 'Content' section.

The first thing you will want to do is to add a new page to your site. To do this click 'Add New Content'

Pages structure and options

'Add New Content' appears just above the list of pages.

On the 'Add New Content' page you can choose the 'Content Type', the 'Title' of the page, the 'Menu Text' for the page, it's 'Parent' and it's 'Template'.

Options for adding content

'Add New Content' options

The page 'Title' will appear on the page itself and should be a brief description of what the page contains.

The 'Menu Text' will appear as the menu option for the page and should be kept short and to the point.

Using 'Parent' allows you to break your site up into sections for easier navigation. For example, if you have a Services page and a number of services, create a separate page for each service and choose the main Services page as their Parent. These services pages will then appear as a sub menu of your main Services page.

Normally your site will use just one template which will be set as the default, if you have a number of different templates use the drop down list to choose the template that will suit the page you are creating.

Below these options you then have the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) area where you can enter and format the content for your new page. Descriptions for the buttons in the WYSIWYG can be found here.

You can insert links into your content that go to other pages in your website, pages on other websites or to documents that you have uploaded (explained in the Upload Images and Documents section). To add an internal link, highlight the text you wish to use and click the 'Insert/Edit CMSMS Link' button Insert/Edit CMSMS Link, choose the page you wish to link to from the list in the popup window and click Ok. To add a link to another website, highlight the text you wish to use and click the 'Insert/Edit Link button Insert/Edit Link, insert the web address into the box marked URL in the popup window and click Ok. You can use the same button to add a link to a file that you have uploaded. Instead of entering a web address, click the 'Browse Server' button and in the new popup window find and click on the document you would like to link to. This will close the new popup, click Ok and your link will be created. This could be used to link to a PDF for example.

We will explain how to upload images and documents and how to insert images into your content in the next two sections.

When you have finished entering the content click the 'Submit' button, or if you wish to save what you have entered so far and continue entering/editing, use 'Apply'.

When you have entered all of your content (for now) you can then use the 'Pages' screen to change the structure of your website. Here you can activate/deactivate, delete and reorder your pages to your liking.
