This page lists and describes the fields contained on the form displayed when adding and editing pages.

The Content tab

Page name

  1. Used to populate navigation menus and other areas of the website where the page name is presented.
    E.g. 'About us'.

URL

  1. Text entered here is used to construct links in the website to this page.
    E.g. 'about-us' would form the link http://www.mydomain.com/about-us/.
  2. URLs must be alphanumeric strings containing no special characters and using hyphens for spaces.
    E.g. 'about-us'.
  3. The URL field is automatically populated, if empty, on completing the Page name field.

The Settings tab

Navigation group

  1. Select the navigation menu on which the page is to be displayed.

Class names

  1. Class names allow CSS styling to target individual pages of your site.
  2. Class names assigned to a page are applied to the page's body tag.
    E.g. <body class="style1">

Hide page

  1. Select this checkbox to prevent a page from appearing in navigation menus.
  2. By default all published pages will appear on navigation menus.

Parent

  1. Create page hierarchies by assigning page's with parents.
  2. A page can only be assigned a single parent.
  3. A page assigned with a parent becomes a ‘child’ of its parent.
  4. If the parent page is listed within a navigation menu, and your website's template has dropdown menus, then the page will be displayed within the dropdown menus.

Duplicate page

  1. This option is only displayed when inserting a new page.
  2. When creating a new page, this option allows you to select an existing page whose content, and child pages, you wish to duplicate.
  3. Tip - This is a handy feature to use when setting up a site containing multiple pages with the same content structure. Create a page from which to duplicate your other pages and avoid having to create each one from scratch.

Link forwarding

  1. Link forwarding allows you to set up redirects so that all links to the page will be redirected to an alternative URL.
  2. You can set the link to load an alternative page within your website, an external URL in a 3rd party website, and set the link to either load in the same window (default) or to open a new window.
