Creating a new Page

Before creating a new page you should have decided where you want the page to appear in the website tree. You should also have written the text, in notepad or similar text editor, though you can use the system to edit on the fly it is better to have written the text and reviewed it on paper before entering it in the system.

Access the Admin System , where the Page Table is the first screen presented to you.

1. Click the New Record icon .
2. Fill in at least the Name, Display Name and Display Order. For example example , Example and 23 . [Leave the Deleted box unchecked.]

Creating non-standard pages

To create a page which does not fit into the standard framework follow the procedure above to create basic page. Then save that page to your local disk and edit it with your HTML editor of choice.

Use the Admin System to create a new Uploaded File record and upload your editted file.

This trick can be used to overwrite a page from the database, if there is a requirement for a non standard page.
