Page Type Selector


The Page type selector allows you to choose what type of the page you want to add to your website. There are three types of page type that you can choose from
Content: a standard RTE content page
Collection: a content collection page
Markdown: a standard page with a markdown editor instead of RTE

When you select the page type the admin will present form fields to set and configure that are relevant to that type of page. 

For a Collection, you can select what collection, specify filtering specific to that page etc.

Duplicate existing content page

Sometimes you may find it easier to duplicate a content page, and then edit the copied version of the page. You may find it faster and easier to do this, as opposed to creating a new content page from the beginning and starting again.
To duplicate an existing page (this can even be done on the home page)
 
  1. In Website Manager mode, click on the Content tab to view the Content Tree.
  2. Find and click on the content page you wish to duplicate
  3. Click on Duplicate Page from the list of options
    duplicatecontent
     
  4. Type in the New Page name (so you don't get confused with the original) and select the parent for the new duplicate page OR select Make this a top-level page
  5. Click Save and the duplicated page will be created
     
Things to be careful of if duplicating the home page: Please note - if you duplicate the home page - be careful to only change what is in the main content - if you change the footer or menu (or anything that shows on ALL pages of the website) it will change for all pages. It's only the content in the centre of the template which you can change.

Also, if you have duplicated the Home Page and hidden it to work on some changes - when you have finished making changes and are happy with the look of the hidden home page - there is no magic "switch" button to make it the live home page. The home page works differently to all the other pages and you must manually make each change to the live page by copying the new information over to the live page.
 

Changing the order of content pages

 
  1. In the administration end of the website, click on the Content tab 
  2. You will see the Content Tree. Click on the name of the page that you wish to move, e.g. "About Us". This row will expand to show you more options
  3. Click the page and drag it to move a sub-page within a parent page.
  4. To view the changes in the front end, go to the front end of your website and refresh the page - either by clicking on the Refresh button at the top of your browser window  (Internet Explorer)  (Firefox) or pressing the F5 button on your keyboard  and navigating to the page
Please note: Pages can only be moved within the same level. ie. If a top level content page is moved, then any sub-pages underneath it will be moved with it
 

Trash

 
  • When you delete a page it is not permanently lost - although it will disappear from your website, you can find it under the Trash and restore it.
