Managing Content

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.
