The administrator can manage site pages: add new pages, edit and delete existing ones. This section will provide you with necessary instructions for that.
Site Page is a page that is used for displaying all the functions available in the system.
The administrator can set the following User Page parameters:
• URI - the relative address to find this page (e.g. /homes/). You can also set any of the file extensions here (e.g. .html, .php, .txt, .htm, etc.).
• Pass parameters via URI - this flag means that parameters will be passed via URI . These parameters allow you to use SEO friendly URIs with the 'display_listing' and 'browse' functions. Listing ID will be passed in URI for the 'display_listing' function and browse criteria will be passed in URI for the 'browse' function.
• Title – you can enter a title for your user page that will appear in the ‘title’ meta tag.
• Template – here you can set a template for a user page.
• Module – you can choose a module which function you want to use for this page.
• Function - each module contains one or more functions that can be used by the webmaster. Here you can specify a function to be used for this page. This function will appear instead of {$MAIN_CONTENT} tag in the chosen template.
• Parameters – specify parameters of the above function if required.
• Keywords - keywords are certain words or phrases used for search engine optimization. Keywords will be input in the ‘keywords’ meta tag in the source of this page.
• Description - this information will be input in the ‘description’ meta tag in the source of this page.
The administrator can add or delete additional user pages by using a ‘User Pages’ section in the admin panel.
E.g., if you want to add an additional static page to your site, you should fill in all the necessary fields in the User Page Form. Then in the Module field choose static_content, in the Function field choose static_page and set Page ID Parameter in the pageID field. To finish adding a new page click on the Add button.
Note: Values of 'Title', 'Keywords' and 'Description' can also be specified in page and module templates using the following syntax: {title}My Title{/title} , {keywords}My Keywords{/keywords} , {description}My Description{/description}. The 'My Title', 'My Keywords', 'My Description' values will be assigned to the global values: $TITLE, $KEYWORDS, $DESCRIPTION. It allows to pass information from local variables of a template to the global values $TITLE, $KEYWORDS, $DESCRIPTION , e.g., the information about listing details. |
