Adding Pages
To add new pages to your site, you have 1 of 2 options to create a new page. You can click on the 'New Page' button at the top of the system and this will create a new page on the top level main navigation of your site. New pages added this way will appear on the same menu navigation as your 'Home' page. Option 2 is to click the '+sub page' link at the bottom of any page in your sitemap. This will allow you add a new sub page into a section of pages if you would like.
Once you've began the process to add a new page, you will get a window allowing you to enter the preliminary information for the page. This will include the page name, page title, shortcut, type, and more.
- Give the new page a Name.
- Choose to include the page
in your site's navigation menus or not. If you choose to not have
this page appear in your menu's, it will still exist as a page and
visitors could potentially access it. If you are wanting to create a
restricted access page, you can view our help documentation here.
- Choose the type of page that you would like to create.
- Content Page - this is a standard page on your site that you
would add content and page parts to. This is what you will use 95%
of the time which is why it is selected by default.
- Link
Page - Setting your page to a link page will allow your "link" to have a
page representation in your menus and sitemap. When clicked, it will
link to whatever you create the link to do, internal page, external
page, open a file, and more!
- Grouping Page - Decide
if you would like this page to group other pages. Grouping a set of
pages allows you to have 'sections' of pages that act as a
group. If you choose this option, you will have two choices based on
your page load preferences for this grouping page. An example of a
grouping page would be that of a 'Youth' Grouping page. Youth would be
the parent page, and its children would be subpages including
Preteens, Teens, Highschoolers, and College Students.
- Choose the 'template' you would like this page to load
into when accessed. If you have a particular 'Youth' shell that you
want this page to load into, select that from your templates drop
down.
- Click Add to quickly add this page to your sitemap so
that you can create more pages and build out your sitemap. Click 'Add
and Edit' to add the page and begin editing it instantly.
Editing Pages
To edit any page on your site you need to have access to do so. You either have to be an administrator, or if a standard user, your local administrator would need to give you access to page(s) that you should be able to edit. For more information on editing permissions, see the 'editing permissions' link on the right.
Each page name is displayed as a link. Click on the page's name to access it for editing. Access the help article on the right for working with the different functions of the system or access the article here: Page Parts.
Deleting Pages
Each page name is displayed as a link. Click on the page's name to
access it for deletion. In the upper corner of the page a trashcan icon will be displayed. Click that icon and go through a series of confirmations to delete the entire page.
Reordering Pages
Using Drag and Drop you can easily reorder your pages within your sitemap. Access the main pages area of the system and you will see a listing of your pages. Click on the white page icon of the page you are wanting to move. As your holding your mouse click, scroll where to where you would like the page to be added. As you scroll you'll notice the <here> text display. This means that once you release your mouse click, the page will move to that location. You can also watch the overview video at the beginning of this page to see this process in action.
