2.2 Edit Pages

In the administration home page you can find the most used link: the edit pages link. It looks like:

 - Edit Pages

Clicking this link you navigate to the edit pages' page:

This page has three main areas:

  1. At the top, under the Easy Web Site Creator Logo, you have some links:

    Preview Site | Administration Home | Logout


    Help


    Preview Site - opens a new window with your site home page.

    Administration Home - navigates you to the previous page.

    Logout - ends your administration session.

    Help - opens a new window with this on-line help.

  2. In the middle you have a table that lists all the pages you have already created in your site.
    It looks like:


    This example shows 5 pages already created.

    The table has a row for each page. Each row have 4 icons:

     Preview - opens a new browser window that shows the page as it will appear to visitors

     Edit - Lets you edit the page contents, including the title, contents, formatting, etc...

     Rename - lets you change the page address (see below for details in page naming).

         Delete - deletes the page from the server (it can't be rolled back).

    The home page is a special page. You can not delete or rename it. It already exists when you install the script.

    Its URL is something like:

    http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php

    and it can be accessed simply by typing http://www.yourdomain.com in your browser address bar, where www.yourdomain.com will be the root URL under what you installed the Easy Web Site Creator.      

  3. At the bottom, you find the new page form:
     


    With this form you can create all the pages you want. There is no limit number of pages.

    All you need to do is to select a new name for your page. The page name must have only the A-Z, 0-9, underline ('_'), minus ('-') or period ('.') characters. You cannot use spaces or other characters.

    Furthermore, the A-Z characters are always converted to lowercase if you write them as uppercase.

    The page name you specify will become part of the page URL. For instance, if you type my_new_page as a page name, that page will be accessible by the URL:

    http://www.yourdomain.com/my_new_page.php

    Where www.yourdomain.com will be the root URL under what you installed the Easy Web Site Creator.

    You cannot use index as a name to a new page since it is reserved to the [ Home Page ].
    You may not use some other reserved names, depending on the server operating system.

    When you create a new page you can specify if you want to create a blank page or create a copy of an already created page.

    Use the Copy From list to select an option:

    [ blank page ] - creates a brand new page
    [ HOME PAGE ] - creates a copy of your home page
    Other option - creates a copy of any other page you may have already created.

    Press the Create new page button and your page will be instantly created.
    The page list will automatically be updated, so you can edit, preview, rename or delete your new page as any other.

    The Cancel button gets you back to the administration home page without performing any action.

Next: Previewing your site
