Pages
Pages define the structural buildup of your site. The page-hierarchy is reflected in the URL's within the site. Each page has an alias-name, that becomes part of the URL, for example "my-page/my-sub-page".
You can assign multiple contents to a page, so that they will appear beneath each other on that page in the frontend.
Creating a page
In the backend, go to Site -> Pages. You will see some example-pages that were created during installation. To create a page do the following:
- Click on "New Page"
- Select a theme for the new page
- Select the base-URL. This will be the parent-page and becomes part of the URL of the new page.
- Enter a name for the page
- Click on "Create". The page is created and appears in the list.
In the frontend the new page will now be accessible and appear in the menus.
Editing a page
To change the properties of a page click on the name or the edit-icon beside that page in the list.
Properties
You can change the page's name, assign a different theme to it or change the URL-path. If you click on "Startpage" this page will become - oh wonder! - The startpage of your site.
Access Control
You can restrict access to the page. By adding permissions to the page you can easily create password-protected areas. Users must have at least one of these permissions to be allowed to visit the page and all it's descendants. Users that are not authorized to view the page will be redirected to the user-login.
Add Content
This box is just what it's called: a way to add content to the page. Select a contenttype to see all existing content-items of that type. Then select a content and click "Add". The content will appear in the list below and will be shown on the page.
You can also add content to a page directly on the frontend with the "Onsite Editor": Click the "Startpage"-icon on top in the backend to go to the frontend. There you see a little "plus"-sign on top of every page. Click this to create new content for that page. The same applies to blocks: click the "plus" on top of a block (e.g. the right sidebar) to create content, that will then appear in that block.
Save the Page
To save the page you have just edited, klick either the green "X" (to save and go back) or the green checkmark (to just save) on top.
