Web Mama E-cart: Adding and Managing Pages
Add Pages: Choose the “Pages” link to the left to select the pages you’d like to appear on your site. The web page area is used to edit content on existing pages, add new pages or delete pages, and add, edit or delete pop up pages for your products. You can add unlimited pages and pop up pages as needed.
Its important to remember any pages you create will be created in a subfolder called “pages”, this must be included in the links you create to them. Ex: http://www.websavvymama.com/pages/services.php Always use FULL web URLS within your website for this reason as well.
Page Options
Activation: From the initial page list, select “Activate” or “Deactivate” under the “Active?” heading to either show or not show that page. If the page is deactivated, all of your content will remain, but the page will simply not be visible to customers. (The page will not be permanently deleted.) When someone tries to access that page, they will get a file not found error.
Link Order: If you wish to change the order in which the links appear in your navigation bar on your site, use the up and down arrow keys to change the order of the pages.
Editing Page Content: Edit any page`s content by selecting the page you want to edit and clicking the “Edit” link. Update the field values and save your changes. The page you update will automatically be changed on your site.
Adding New Pages: You can add unlimited additional pages through the system, by clicking the Add New Page link. These pages will use the same site design as your other pages, so there`s no need to modify the page design for the page. Just enter the title, content, page name (minus the extension) and other fields as desired (see above). Click Add to save the page. New pages are automatically displayed on the site. The following page information can be adjusted as needed.
Page Name: If you are adding a new page or editing a page you`ve created, you can change the page`s name at any time by modifying this field. Do not enter the page extension (ie. php, htm). Note that the page name cannot be changed for pre-existing fields.
Active: All pages, other than the home page and the catalog page, can be set to be inactive. This will remove the page from the navigation links, and will give site visitors a page not found error if they try to view the page. This will not delete any of your content or settings, so you can use this to temporarily take down a page while you update it.
Show Title: Set this field to “Yes” to show the page title on the top of the page in your site. Set to “No” to keep that page`s title from appearing.
Show Link: Set this field to “Yes” if you want to display the page`s link in your navigation links. Set the field to “No” if you don`t want to display a link in the navigation area.
Page Title: This is the description that will appear in the navigation links (if “Show Link” is set to “Yes”) as well as the top of the page (if “Show Title” is set to “Yes”).
Nav Image: If you want to display a button image instead of a text link (if you are using text link navigation types), click the Upload link to load an image. You can also add a second image for a mouseover effect, if desired.
Header Image: If you want to display an image at the top of the page, in place of the page title, click the Upload link to load an image. This image will only display if the “Show Title” field is set to “Yes”.
Content: Enter your page content here. This content can include HTML coding, and will appear at the top of the page, above any features, if they exist.
Meta Title: If you want to specify a meta title for this page, enter it here. If you leave this field blank, the system will use the default meta titles specified in the settings.
Meta Keywords: If you want to specify meta keywords for this page, enter them here, listed with commas or spaces between each word or phrase. If you leave this field blank, the system will use the default meta keywords specified in the settings.
Meta Description: If you want to specify a meta description for this page, enter it here. If you leave this field blank, the system will use the default meta description specified in the settings.
Show Products: On the home page and catalog page, you can show product categories or a few products. These will display just under the page content. You may display new products (items entered most recently, according to the date field), featured products (if you have some selected) or sale products (items with a sale price). You may also display a list of categories in a single column, in three columns or five columns. If you do not wish to display either products or category lists, select “No Display”.
Page Groupings: To display only a specific group of pages in any given navigation area, select a group or groups here. You can then set your template to only show pages within group 1, group 2, group 3, group 4 or group 5. Note that all pages can be set in any of these groups, allowing you to display links in multiple navigation areas.
Optional Theme: If you want to use a different theme for this page, and themes are available, you can select a new theme from the list to override the default theme.
To edit the page later simply click “edit” next to the page you want to edit.
