Smooth Step CMS | Video tutorial
Text from page editing video demonstration
In this chapter I am going to comment basic page functions:
Let's add a new page. "Add page" button brings a dynamic form with page fields. Here we have to enter:
- Menu title
- Sets short text how page is going to be seen in the menu.
- Page title
- Sets html page title for search engines. Choose parent page to set menu section where page is going to be located. Each page can become a container if some other page has it as parent. Using such technology you can create sub menus of any depth.
- Menu position
- Sets page order in menu container. Let's set this page to be second.
- Web URL
- Here we have to write web name of the document. Our content management system is using rewrite technology so you have the ability to choose any page name you like. For example you can choose “example dot html” or simply “example” without an extension.
Finally we tick "published" field and save.
This creates a page named “example”. Let's have a look at the web site loaded in the second tab. After refreshing the site we see our page rendered third in our selected section.
If you are not going to tick published field, page will not be visible on your website. This can be very useful to prevent half made pages to be seen by visitors.
Let's go back to CMS and add another page. We will call it example 2 and add it as number 4 in the section.
To edit the page we have to select it from the menu (in this case we have example 2 selected), click on the tab called “edit page”, you can also choose “page configuration” below selected item in the menu.
In page configuration panel, I am going to change parent page to example, and web path to “example slash sub page”, then click save.
After this change “example2” became sub item of our first “example” page.
