To create a website folder in the current folder, you proceed as follows:
•Select in the top menu.
•The ‘Add Website Folder’ form has the sections ‘General’, ‘Contents’, ‘Design’ and ‘Automatic Versioning’.
•General: Enter the name of the website folder, optional tags and a
description. Further, you may decide about the default view of the website
folder (web view or standard folder view) and whether to create a template
folder. The template folder when created will contain a template page “Empty”
that serves as template for pages created using
.
•Contents: Select the initial contents of the website folder. The default option “Basic” provides an empty home page only. The rest of the options give an impression of the capabilities of website folders and have of course to be adapted to your specific needs. The “Demo” option is intended to give an impression of most of the features of website folders. Regardless of what you choose, you may edit the home page and other pages later on.
•Design: You are offered three layout options with two styles each. The “Tree” style is suitable for hierarchically structured websites; the “Query” style is suitable for a flat set of pages through which you navigate making use of author names, tags and categories. The PC-oriented layouts may include the possibility to comment on pages or not. All in all, you have got ten design options to choose from. Your choice here results in two documents of your website folder, the layout page and the style definition. Both may be edited later on.
•Automatic Versioning: Select the strategy of automatic versioning for your website folder. The default is to store at most 10 versions of documents in the website folder in order to be able to undo changes of website pages. In web view, the latest version of a page is shown. In order to revert to an older version, you have to delete the more recent versions.
•Hit [OK] to create the website folder according to the specifications made so far. All properties of the website folder may be changed at a later point in time.
After having created a website folder, you may now start to create or upload the content pages of your website folder (see next section). Your new website folder will contain at least a Home Page (may be named differently) and a resource folder Resources with four resource documents: Layout (the layout page), Print (the printing template), Search (the search results page) and Style (the style definition). Depending on the automatic versioning option chosen, these documents will be documents under version control.
You may change name, tags, description and automatic
versioning options of a website folder using
in the action menu of the website folder like you would with ordinary folders.
How you change the appearance of a website folder using this action is explained
further below.
When you would like to structure your website folder like a tree, create subsidiary website folders as subfolders.
•Select
in the action menu of the website folder to which you want to add a website
subfolder.
•Enter name and optionally tags and description. Click [OK].
The new subsidiary website folder contains an empty home page carrying the name of the folder as title. The other options (design, automatic versioning) are inherited from the containing website folder. By default, subsidiary website folders are shown in web view as part of the website folder’s contents, ordinary subfolders are not.
