Pages Management

The Pages Management Menu allows you to access administration for each individual page that is displayed on the your site. For each page you can edit the template, text, css fonts, and modules. If you have multiple languages on your site, you will also edit their values within these same pages. After clicking on the PAGES Menu, you will see a breakdown of all of the pages on your site.

Basic Page Functionality

This Software generates every page you see through a combination of your html templates and the dynamic content built for that specific page. The html templates have two functions. They display the overall look and genre of the site. They also serve as hosts for the {body_html} tag and any {module} tags that you may be using. These tags display the dynamic content pulled from the admin settings, which are ultimately stored in the database. Wherever the {body_html} and page module tags show up within each html template, that is where the functionality associated with each tag will display on your page.

There are a preset number of pages within this Software, regardless of whether you choose to display them or not. One of the most powerful functions of this program is that every page has its own distinct URL. This functionality allows you (and your sellers) to create links from any page to any page on your site, or to any page from an external website. This includes linking to the individual listings themselves. So, your sellers can place listings on your site and create a link on their own website, or send a link in an email, that will take the recipient directly to that seller’s listing on your site. To determine the URL to any given page, simply navigate to that page, and the URL will be displayed in your Browser’s Address bar. You can copy and paste that link into your html templates, or anywhere that you want to provide a direct link back to that specific page.

Managing Page Text

Page text is likely the most customizable part of this Software. You can place anything within a specific text area and that content will be displayed within the dynamically generated portion of that page’s content. So, instead of simply changing the text to display what you want, you can also add html directly into the textarea boxes for each piece of text. This allows you to insert images and replace text links with buttons if you like. For example:

• Specify an image instead of text.

i.e.: <img src=pretty_image_text.jpg>

• Insert HTML code instead of plain text for added flexibility.

i.e.: use <table>, <tr> and <td> tags. 

<tip c n>NOTE: Ensure that any HTML you enter does not interfere with the HTML generated by the program.</tip>
