Howto: Content Manager

In ccHost 5 you can create pages in your system without any HTML/XML file editing whatsoever. Examples of pages created this way are the ccMixter home page and "As Seen on the Web"

The second example is mapped to a navigation tab. The creation of a page like this and mapping to a tab are explained here:

Example: Creating an 'About' page

First create new content topic:

  1. While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Global Settings' in the menu
  2. Click on 'Manage Page Content'
  3. Click on 'Create New Content'
  4. At 'New Content Type' type in "about" (without the quotes)
  5. Enter a title and topic contents
  6. Click on 'Submit Content'

If you were to create multiple topic of the same kind (not really applicable to an 'About' page), then you would repeat these steps for addition topics except replace step (4):

4. At 'Content Type' select 'about' from the drop down, and leave 'New Content Type' blank

Images are uploaded to cchost_files/images (replace cchost_files with the name of the files directory you supplied during install). To refer to those images use the new 'img' block in your topics. Example:

[img=/cchost_files/images/my_image.gif][/img]

Next create a new content page:

  1. While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Global Settings' in the menu
  2. Click on 'Manage Page Content'
  3. Click on 'Create a New Page'
  4. At 'Content Type' select "about"
  5. Enter a page title like "About" (without the quotes)
  6. Click on 'Submit' - this should take you back to the 'Manage Page Content' screen
  7. Click on 'view' next to your new page to preview the page (Note the URL in your browser)

To map your new page to a tab:

  1. While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Manage Site' in the menu
  2. Click on 'Navigator Tab Sets'
  3. Click on '[edit tabs]'
  4. Click on 'Add tab'
  5. Under 'Function' select 'Execute URL'
  6. Under 'Data' enter the URL from Step (7) in the section above
  7. Click on 'Submit'

HINT: entering a full URL in a tab causes a re-direct (extra round trip to your server). To prevent this in Step (6) enter "/viewfile/about" without the quotes.

Topic Format Commands

When entering a topic you have the option to use ccHost formatting short cuts based on a variation of BBCode tags.

Code Effect
[b]bolded text[/b] bolded text
[i]italicized text[/i] italicized text
[u]underlined text[/u] underlined text
