[2] CMS > CONTENT MANAGEMENT SODTWARE

When you finish editing a page, click on the Update Contents button to save the changes to the database. The page on the web site will be updated immediately.

This website has had a content management system installed that will allow you to edit or rewrite the text of several pages.

You can also >

- add pictures to any of these pages,
- links that will open a user’s Email program to send an Email,
- links to other websites and links that upload PDF and other documents.

Go to > http://www.wellingtonwm.non-league.org/cms/index.php using User Name & Password emailed to you. Contact us if not in receipt of same.

When you log in you will get a page that lists the different editable sections of the website. Clicking on the word Edit that follows each of the listed sections will take you to a page where you can manage the content for that section.

Make sure that as the edit-page loads, you don’t click on the update button at the bottom or the save button in the button rows until the contents are fully loaded. Doing this prematurely and out of sequence could result in loss of data.

The Edit Page Contents page consists of a Section Name box and the editor. At this stage, do not modify the Section Name - it has been included to provide for any other sections of the page that you may want to make editable in the future.
The editor runs in your web browser ( Internet Explorer, Netscape etc. and enables you to update the website from any computer that is connected to the internet. You will need to have your web browser “JavaScript enabled”.

Most browsers will have it enabled by default, but if it’s not, then consult your web browser documentation to enable JavaScript.

The editor is similar to a word processor, with 3 rows of buttons along the top that allow you to format the text, as you would with a word processor and also includes web-specific functions that allow you to insert form-fields, radio buttons and links.
The function of every button will appear if you place your mouse over the top of it and hold it there for a short period of time. Drop boxes have their titles written next to them. Below is a brief overview of the buttons and drop-list boxes that most likely require some explanation.

Source When pressed, this displays the content of the page as it is actually formatted to be read by a web browser. This is very useful if you are familiar with the layout code (called HTML). If you are experimenting with the different web-options you can look at the resulting source code you are producing. Save This will save the changes to the web page and return you to the initial admin page. New Page Will delete the entire page so that you have a blank one to work with.

Pasting text from a word processor Word processors, such as Microsoft Word insert a lot of “special characters” in the text, usually hidden unless you specify that they be shown. These allow them to format their documents, but when content is copied from a word processor and pasted into the editor the characters may not be recognised, which could result in the data not being saved. If you use Paste from Word when pasting from this word processor, the special characters will be appropriately formatted for the web. In the rare event that the text is still not saved, then copy the contents to Notepad or Wordpad so that you have a basic text file. Then copy and paste the contents into the editor.

Insert/Edit Image This button allows you to upload images to the website. A content management system differs from a normal word-processor in this instance: - a website needs the image files available to it on it’s own server and so they need to be uploaded before you can arrange them on the web page.

After you click on the image button you can select browse server to see which images are already stored on the web server. You can then from this window, upload images from your own computer by selecting browse, at the bottom of the window.

You will presented with a window that enables you to choose a file from your file system and upload it to the server. Once its uploaded you can then select it from the directory structure that you will see in the window. (The preview box is filled with Latin text that is purely for viewing how any text will wrap around the image )
One thing to be aware of when uploading images, is the image size. An image will only need to be from ( roughly ) 80 to a few hundred pixels wide or high for a website page.

If the graphic is very large, as it could be from a digital camera, it will take ages to upload and then the web-page containing it will also take a long time to display on a web browser.

A computer, having no aesthetic ability whatever, cannot decide what dimensions the picture should be to look and function best, so you may need to reduce picture sizes before you upload them.

Insert/Edit Link This button enables you to make a hypertext link. It can be used to upload other media types such as PDF files, in the same manner as the Insert/Edit Image button uploads images, and then create the clickable link that allows the file to download.

To create the link that can download the file do these things

1) Type the text that you want to make clickable that names the file you are about to upload.
2) Highlight the text using the mouse.
3) Then click on the Insert/Edit Link button. Link type will be “URL” and then the same procedure is followed as with Insert/Edit Image.

To make a link that will Email to an address, follow the same procedure but select “E-Mail” as the Link Type and then type in the Email address you want the link to select. You can also fill in the other fields with default message subject and message body if you like. To make a link that sends the browser to another web page, select “URL” as the Link Type and then type in the web address that you want to link to.
The “style” drop-list box This box contains the font style of the site. To preserve the look and feel of the website when updating and adding content, highlight the content and select the standardFont option from the drop down box. You can still manipulate the text as required and make it bold, underlined etc.

When you finish editing a page, click on the Update Contents button to save the changes to the database. The page on the web site will be updated immediately.
