Pages
From CMSMS
When you navigate to Content > Pages you see a list of all the pages on your site. They are listed in the order that they appear in the menu, with sub-items listed under their parent page.
The columns for each page are as follows, from left to right:
- Title – the title of the page, which should not be confused with Menu Text that is the text that will be displayed in the menu.
- Template – name of the template that is used for that particular page.
- Type – content can be one of five types:
- Section Header – you can divide your menu in sections and show a section header for each section.
- Content – normal content, i.e. a regular page.
- Link – a link from the menu to an internal or external page.
- Separator – not really content, but a mechanism for dividing menus into cohesive units.
- News – a bit of a different creature, because it is actually a module. To insert news into a page that contains other content you would want to put this code into the page: {cms_module module=”News”}. When selecting News as content type for a page the entire {content} tag in your templates is in use by the News module.
- Owner – The user that created the page.
- Active – A page can only be accessed on your site if it is active (
). If it’s not active (
) it is not shown in the menu and can’t be accessed by a direct link, but it still exists ”in the system”. That is you can edit a page until you think it’s ready to be released, which is when you make it active.
- Default – The default page () is the page that is shown when the visitor enters your site.
- Move – Click the arrows to move a page upwards or downwards in the page hieararchy.
- The three icons to the right are:
View – opens the particular page in a new window
Edit – same as if you click on the page title
Delete – deletes the page If all your pages can’t be shown on one page you can navigate to the other pages with the pagination on the top right.[
