All My Pages
This screen displays all the Pages that you have access to, except archived Pages (see All My Archived Pages). It is the combination of all other Page listings.
The system is a "page-based" system, meaning most of building your
website is done by creating Pages, setting design styling, interactive
properties, adding content, and then linking them to other Pages.
Viewing & Editing Pages
You can view and edit any Page you have access to by selecting the
Page from any of the Pages screens, which are grouped by Page Type.
Some of the Page's properties are also visible.
Searching Pages
You can enter a search term in the box on this screen and search for
any Page by it's properties. (Page content is excluded from the
search).
Modifying Pages
You can modify the Folder, Page Style, search, and sitemap.xml options for one or more Pages by selecting the Pages
you wish to modify and clicking "Modify Selected". Since access control is handled by the Page's Folder, modifying the Page
allows you to easily protect a Page.
WARNING: Since changing a Page's Folder effects it's access control,
you can accidentally make a Private Page accessible or a Public Page
inaccessible to others attempting to view the Page. Keep this in mind
when moving Pages among Folders.
WARNING: Moving a Page can also change the Page's Page Style,
which could accidentally hide Page Region content and include new
common content. If this happens, you can always
change the
Page Style back to the original Page Style and the Page Regions will
reappear. Page Regions are never lost unless you delete the
content or delete the Page itself.
E-mailing Pages
You can easily e-mail any Page in it's native
HTML-format (and text format) to a single recipient or a group of
recipients, we call "Subscribers".
There are two ways to e-mail a Page:
- Campaigns. Pages
can be e-mailed to any number of Subscribers using the built-in
Campaign feature. This allows you to send e-newsletters,
e-announcements, and promotional messages to your customers. members,
and prospects. You must have access to these features in order to use
them.
- Auto-responders.
Pages can be sent by the system in response to an action taken by a
Visitor, like when an Order is placed, a
Custom Form is submitted, or a specific Product is ordered.
Creating Pages
To create a Page, click on "Create Page" or view an existing Page and
click "Duplicate Page".
Commenting on Pages
To comment on a Page, be sure that Comments are enabled in the Page's Properties. This will display the Comment form on the Page. If CAPTCHA is enabled in the Site Settings, then comments are protected from SPAM. Spammers use unprotected web forms in an attempt to use another's website to post and broadcast their own advertising. To combat this malicious technique, all Comment forms have a built-in CAPTCHA feature that is automatically enabled if it Comment form is displayed to any site visitor that has is not logged into the website. The CAPTCHA asks a simple challenge question that the visitor must answer correctly in order to submit the Comment.
Deleting Pages
To delete a Page, select the Page you wish to delete and click "Delete Selected". Only the Page (and it's Properties such as Custom Form or Form List/Item View Layout), Page Regions, Comments, and Comment Attachments are deleted. Menu and Ad Regions, Ads, and all other common regions and their content as well as it's Page Style remain.
Desktop / Mobile Page Styles
Clicking on "show mobile" or "show desktop" will toggle the display of the Page's Page Style that will be used by the mobile detection feature to display the Page to your site visitors. If the Page Style is colored red, it means that the system could not find a Mobile Page Style for the Page, and it will default to use the Desktop Page Style to display the Page to mobile (phone) visitors. You should consider adding a Mobile Page Style for any Page that does not have one defined for it.
NOTE: The Delete Selected button only appears for Users that have access to delete Pages.
WARNING: Take care when deleting Pages, there is no UNDO.
