Page and Site Structure Editing

Moving pages and content elements in the site structure.

Login to the backend of your site editor and click the "List" view in the left column. Then click on a page that has sub-pages in the center column. The sub pages will appear in the right column and look something like the illustration below. There are three handy commands for moving pages around in the structure of the site. Ahe easiest of them moves a page up or down in the given listing of pages with the up and down arrows. Another moves pages in and out in the page structure, the right arrow moving the page inside the one above it, the left pointing arrow moving it out of the page it is currently in and onto the next level up. These both utilize incremental movements. Moving one step at a time, and are good for minor changes. The third option offers a dialgue allowing the page to be moved to anywhere in the site structure in one operation

 


Another useful tool is to sort pages in the site by specific fields. To use this furst click on "Functions" in the left column. Make sure you click on a page that contains multiple sub pages in the center menu. Then choose in the dropdown on the right the "Sort Pages" option. The illustration below shows that you can choose to sort pages by "Page title" etc, you can also choose to invert the current order making it easy to sort large numbers of pages by all these criteria by simply clicking the text links under "Sort these pages by".

 


Yet another powerful tool is still in the "Functions" module, but you will choose the "Create multiple pages" option from the dropdown. This allows the creation of multiple sub-pages to whatever page you select. Note in the illustration below that the current page where the pages will be created is displayed at the top of the dalogue box where it says "Path: /Real Asheville/About Us/. This tells us that we are about to create sub pages to the "About Us" page on the site.

If there are already sub-pages, you can choose to create them before or after existing sub pages, or to hide the new pages using the check boxes at the bottom of the form. When you are have filled in up to 9 fields (just leave any blank that exceed the number of new pages you wish to create) and click "Create pages" to create the new pages.
