Creating Bookmarks

If you want to include a link on a web page to content somewhere else on the same web page, such as a definition of a term, highlight the text that you want to link to and click the bookmark icon: Bookmark icon.jpg

For example, if you want to click on LINK TO BOOKMARK (in the screen below) to go to the text BOOKMARK (further down the page in the screen below), you highlight the text BOOKMARK with your cursor and select the bookmark icon from the menu shown above. When you click on that icon, you will see the following screen, where you will type the name of your BOOKMARK. Then click INSERT and then OK to save the bookmark.

Next, you will highlight the text that you want to be able to click on. In this example, you would highlight the text LINK TO BOOKMARK. Then click on the link icon in the menu: Hypelink icon.jpg

This opens the following screen:

Click on the BOOKMARK field and choose the bookmark that you want to link to from the drop down menu. Click OK to save your bookmark. Also, click OK at the top of the page to save all changes on the page when you are done editing the page.

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.

Adding a Child Page

Pages within Contensive are arranged hierarchically with the section landing page as the parent and and all pages below it as child pages. To add a child page simply navigate to the "parent page" where you want your child page to be below and login and click on EDIT. Then click on the paper and "plus" (+) sign, which will be below the content of the parent page.

Once you click on the paper and plus sign the system will open a blank content record. Give it a name, enter your content in the "Copy" field and add any other attributes you want to the page and then click OK.

The system will save your record and return you to the parent page. You should now see the name of the page you added in the child list.

Sorting Child Pages

In order to have child pages appear in a certain order, you must first specify how you want them to be sorted. To do this, login and click on EDIT. Next, click the paper/pencil icon to edit the page you are on. This will open the edit record for the page. Click on the NAVIGATION tab. Here you can select how to sort child pages. If you choose either option that includes "By Alpha Sort Order", you will then put numbers or letters in the ALPHA SORT ORDER field to order each child page. If it is possible that you may add pages between current child pages in the future, you can number the first page 1, the next page 10, etc. Click OK to save changes.

Managing Images and Other Resources

There are three places you can use to store images and other online resources, the Resource Library, the Content File Manager and the Website File Manager.

The Resource Library The Resource Library is the primary storage location where content managers store images and downloads on your site. Items stored in the Resource Library can be placed on any page, updated from one location, and moved from folder to folder within the Resource Library without a concern about changing the URL to the resource and causing a 'file-not-found' error. To add a file to the resource library you need to upload it from your computer.

Upload a file to the Resource Library

To upload a file to the Resource Library, perform these steps:

  1. Login to the website and go to ADMIN.
  2. Click on Manage Content and Resource Library from left side of the screen. On the right side of the screen you will see all of the folders and files already uploaded to the Resource Library.
  3. Click on the folder that you want to put the new file in.
  4. Then at the bottom of the screen put your cursor in the Add Files box and click BROWSE. This takes you to your computer screen to search for the file you want.
  5. When you find your file, highlight it and then click the OPEN button. When the file name appears on the screen below, click the APPLY button.
  6. If you need to add a new folder, click in the Add Folder box and type the name for your new folder and click APPLY.

Place an image from the Resource Library on a Page To add a picture, login to the website and go to the page you wish to edit. Choose EDIT from the menu. Then put your cursor in the text box where you want to add the picture and click on the image icon near the center of the toolbar.

This will open a window where you will be given the option to select the image you want to place on the page. Click on the file folder next to the Source box.

Image2.jpg

This opens another window where you will add the picture file at the bottom of the page. Click the CHOOSE FILE button in the Add Files text box.

This allows you to search your computer for the picture you want to add. When the following screen appears, click on the file and then click OPEN. When the file name appears in the text box (from the screen above), click the APPLY button and then the INSERT button on the preceding screen, where the source file is listed.

You will then see the file in a list and you should click on the icon in the Place column to add the picture to your web page. After you make changes, click OK to save your edits.

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.

Page 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.
