Pages

Pages within this software are very similar in nature to HTML files that you would upload (FTP) for a static site in order to then display a particular page in a browser. Just as each HTML file you upload has its own unique URL, so too does each page of the software. The difference is that each page within the software has a pre-defined URL.

The program itself has a set number of pages, each having its own specific purpose and functionality. The program recognizes when a certain page is being displayed to the user, and therefore calls up and presents from the database the appropriate combination of default settings, administrator settings, and any modules (discussed later) that are currently used in the template for that page.

Each page is assigned a specific numbering sequence that can be found in the browser's URL bar for each page when it is navigated to. Thus, each page has its own unique URL assigned to it. This allows you to determine the actual link to any page of your listings site by simply browsing to the desired page, and using the URL in your browser’s address bar as the “link to” for that page. For instance, the URL to the login page is:

www.example.com/index.php?a=10

This link will never change, unless you designate something other than “index.php” to be used for the software's base file name. Therefore, you can place a link in the html of any template, and simply insert the above URL as the destination. When clicked, the link will take the user directly to your software's login page. This same principle applies to every page within this software, including pages that are created by the program on the fly, such as pages generated when you add a new category. Even each listing page has its own unique URL assigned to it.
