<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="How_do_I_use_this_CMS?"
>How do I use this CMS?</a></h1>
<p>CMS means Content Management System.</p>
<p>If you're starting with an empty database,
the program will default to the [New Site] tab.</p>
<p>If you have designs on file,
the program will default to the [Edit Site] tab,
where you use the search engine to find a site,
design or page to work on.</p>
<p>But first,
a note on deleting things.</p>
<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="Deletion_of_Sites/Designs/Pages"
>Deletion of Sites/Designs/Pages</a></h1>
<p>Each delete button displays a Javascript warning,
so you can cancel the delete before any message is sent to the server.</p>
<p>Deletes cascade,
which means deleting a site <i>automatically</i> deletes all designs and pages (and their content!) which belong to that site.</p>
<p>In the same way,
deleting a design <i>automatically</i> deletes all pages (and their content!) which belong to that design.</p>
<p>So,
proceed with caution.</p>
<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="Duplication_of_Data"
>Duplication of Data</a></h1>
<p>There are various buttons allowing you the duplicate sites,
designs and pages.</p>
<p>Clicking on [Duplicate site] will use the new name you entered to copy all designs and pages,
and their content,
from the current site to the new site.</p>
<p>Clicking on [Duplicate design] will use the new name you entered to copy the current design's pages and their content to a new design within the current site.</p>
<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="1:_Create_a_new_Site_and_a_new_Design"
>1: Create a new Site and a new Design</a></h2>
<p>Start by creating a new site.
Each site's name must be unique.</p>
<p>You can have any number of sites,
and a single site can have any number of designs.</p>
<p>Each design's name must be unique,
for a given site.</p>
<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="2:_Build_the_Site_via_it's_menu"
>2: Build the Site via it's menu</a></h2>
<p>Use the [Edit Site] tab to search for a design you've saved.</p>
<p>Select a site and click the [Edit pages] button.
On the [Edit Pages] tab,
you'll create the menu of how this design's pages link together.</p>
<p>So,
each design must have a menu.</p>
<p>This menu will allow the user of your web site to navigate around the pages.</p>
<p>This program's design is completely based on the assumption that every web site has a menu of some sort,
which link's the site's pages.</p>
<p>Each item on this menu will be a clickable link to a page whose content you design.
You also choose the template to be used for each page,
when the time comes to output the design as a set of web pages.</p>
<p>The program displays the menu you design as a tree,
at the bottom of the [Edit Pages] tab.
The tree displayed is called the Site map,
and you can click on it while designing,
( run in 0.498 second using v1.01-cache-2.11-cpan-99c4e6809bf )
