Editing Page Content
The Contensive content editing interface is a versatile system that is powerful and easy to use. You can edit from the admin site, or directly on your pages using the edit menu. The menu includes several tools: Edit, Advanced Edit, and Quick Edit. When you are logged on as an Administrator, you will select the edit option you need.
Quick Editing
The easiest way to edit a page is to login, navigate to the page on your site and click "Quick Edit" in the menu. This opens an edit window in your site where your content is displayed. On this screen you can Edit the Page Name, Headline, the text on the webpage, and you can add child pages and sibling pages (child pages of the parent page) to this page. Just click in the text boxes and type the new text. When you are done, click the SAVE or OK button to save your changes.
Normal Editing
From the menu on the public page you can also choose the Edit option. With edit, the site is redrawn with dotted borders around the major content areas for which you have access. A "paper/pencil" edit icon in the upper left corner of each region takes you to the edit record for the current webpage.
On this screen you can Edit the Page Name, Headline, and the text on the web page. Just click in the text boxes and type the new text. When you are done, click the SAVE or OK button to save your changes. You can also perform a number of other functions by clicking on the blue tabs at the top of the screen, such as blocking pages, adding Meta Content for Search Engine Optimization, adding Link Aliases, and more.
Advanced Editing
From the menu you can also select Advanced Edit. This displays edit icons for the content you can edit, but it also includes other more detailed features of the page such as the Add-on toolbar that lets you configure each Add-on's styles and options. The Advanced Edit feature should only be utilized by experienced users of the system.
Link Forward
Link Forward lets you redirect URLs to other URLs.
To create or edit a Link Forward, go to the admin site >> admin navigator >> Settings >> click on Link Forwards.
- Name
- The name of the record. This is just to recognize the entry and has no function role
- Active
- Use to temporarily disable the entry
- Source Link
- Should match exactly what you want to redirect FROM. It must include everything from http: to the end. If you want it to work for both the domain.com and the www.domain.com versions, you must make two entries.
- Destination Link
- where you want the user to be redirected.
- Viewings
- This is how many users have been redirected by this link forward entry
- Add User To Group
- if a group is selected, each time a user is redirected they will be added to this group.
link Alias
Link Alias entries let you create alternative URLs. These are sometimes called User Friendly URLs or Perma-Links.
You can create a link alias for a page by editing the page and clicking on the Link Alias tab. You can add new link aliases, and the newest alias is always used on the site for all menuing. Older link aliases will still work if someone enters them.
When a page can display different content based on the querystring, each version of the page can be assigned a unique Link Alias. For instance, when the Blog addon is added to a page, every blog post appears on the same physical page, but each post can be assigned a unique Link Alias using the QueryStringSuffix field.
To add or edit Link Alias records directly, go to the admin site >> admin navigator >> Settings >> Advanced >> click on Link Aliases
- Name
- The Link Alias as it should appear in the Address Line.
- Active
- if inactivated, a hit to this url may result in a 404 error.
- Page
- the page to display when this URL is detected.
- Query String Suffix
- (optional) When a Link Alias URL is detected, anything entered in the Query String Suffix will be appended to the Querystring of the URL used to display the page.
Content Blocking
Content Blocking allows a Site Administrator or Content Editor to block content within the site to specific Groups or exclude certain traffic (i.e. Content Spiders, Web Crawlers). Content Blocking can be enabled for an entire Site Section or individually on a specific Content Page.
To access Content Blocking, Login to the website and go to ADMIN.
Click on Manage Content and Pages from the left side of the screen to block content on a certain page. If you want to block an entire section of your site, you would click on Sections instead of pages.
Blocking Pages
On the right side of the screen you will see a list of all pages on your website. Click on the paper/pencil icon in the Edit field to edit the blocking options. When the page opens (for blocking specific pages), click on the Blocking Tab.
- Block Search Engine Robots
- When checked, the HTML meta tag "no follow" will be added to the page and its child pages, requesting that search engines not index this page's content.
- Block Content
- When checked, this page and all child pages will be blocked from all Users except Users from the desired Groups.
- Allow Groups Through Blocking
- When Block Content is checked, check any groups in this list that are allowed to view the content.
- Custom Blocking Method
- To enable custom blocking, you will enter information on the bottom part of the Blocking Tab screen. Select the Custom Blocking Method to determine how the page responds when it is blocked. The methods are:
- Custom Blocking Message allows for specific copy to be entered into the Custom Blocking Message field. When a page is blocked, and the User does not have permission to view the page, the message will display.
- Login Form allows for users with a login to access the page.
- Registration Form allows for an addition of a registration form. The registration form may immediately add the User to a Group able to access the content. The "Register to Group" field determine which Group Users are placed in when the form is successfully completed.
Click OK when done to save your changes.
NOTE about which template is used for the blocking message page: *If a page has a template set, it is used.
- If the page has no template, it uses the template in its parent's page.
- If the parent has no template, it uses the section template.
- If it has no section template, it uses the default template set in the domain name.
- If it has no domain template, it uses the template named "default".
Blocking Sections
Click on Manage Content and Sections from the ADMIN screen to block content for an entire section of your site.
On the right side of the screen you will see a list of all sections on your website. Click on the paper/pencil icon in the Edit field to edit the blocking options.
- When the record opens for the specified section, click on the Features Tab.
- On this screen click the box in the "Blocked From Users" field.
- To specify groups of users who are able to access this section, click on the Section Blocking Tab at the top of the record and check all groups listed on the page that you want to have access to the blocked section.
- Click on OK when you are done to save your changes.
