Each page within WebManager 4 can be fully customized using a variety of different methods. Utilizing areas such as HTML header content, the sky is the limit in adding in 3rd party jQuery plugins, external CSS files, custom JS and HTML, etc. You can also set SEO, page titles, assign pages to RSS feeds and more. Below is a comprehensive guide to the options available within a page editor. This page will be updated as new features are released.

Title, URL Alias & Menu Text

These three required components of a page are all closely related.

The title is what will display in the top of the browser window, as well as the top of the page itself. To hide the title from displaying on the top of the page (this will also hide the breadcrumbs on the USC skin), select the Hide the Title box.

The URL alias is the portion of the URL that comes after the domain and site_name. For example, this page has the URL Alias of page_editing. Therefore, the full site URL will be http://yourdomain.org/site_name/url_alias. You can use dashes or underscores in this input box, but no spaces. Best practice states that keeping the URL alias all lower case is best. Also, sites that have been converted from WebManager 3 will need to replace the string of numbers & letters that appears in this box with the search engine friendly & human readable alias.

• Short URL - this button will take your current page URL and generate a short URL (such as http://sar.my/123) that can be easily shared via social media. Please note that in order for this function to work, your site must be assigned a live domain - either a subdomain of salvationarmy.org or a custom domain name.

The menu text is what appears when the page is added to the menu itself. Therefore, it is possible to have diferen menu text (such as "About"), which can be helpful if your title is longer (such as "About The Salvation Army in Oklahoma") and you don't want to risk taking up menu space.

Description

Also a required field, this description is important because it shows as the page summary in search results within WM4 sites, as well as the meta information that gets passed on to search engines. In order to comply with search engine result limitations, it must be 155 characters or less. Use a tool such as to http://www.wordcounter.net/ help craft appropriately sized descriptions.

URL Redirect

An optional field, this is helpful if you would like visitors to be redirected to another page or site when clicking on the page link in the menus.

Password Protected

If enabled, the page will be hidden behind a login:

This login has the same functionality as the main site editing login box, in that only lotus notes users with their internet-based credentials can login.

After checking Yes next to Password protected, save the page. Once the page has been saved and refreshed, each individual that can be allowed to see the page after logging in must be added to the right hand side of the page in the Add User section, as a Reader.

Hide in Menus

This option can be selected as a way to hide the page from showing in any navigation menus in the site. Useful for specific landing pages, or internal pages. Note that any page that is published is still able to be found in site searches. If a page truly needs to be hidden, add password protection to it or unpublish it.

Show Last Update

This adds a timestamp at the top of the page, which is useful for highly active pages - perhaps in times of disaster. Otherwise, this option should not apply to pages very often as it can be easy to forget to jump back in and edit a page. Better not to advertise if something falls out of date!

Template Mode

Assigning a page as a Template Page enables you to start with the exact content and layout of that page as a framework for future pages. Select the option and hit save on any page that will have its layout reused. Then, when you click on New Web Page from the main page content tab, you can select the page template option and the new page is created with the same layout and content as the template page.

RSS Feed

This section appears if you have an RSS feed available within your site. If so, you can add the page to the RSS feed and it will appear as syndicated content.

Show Navigation Bar

This section has different uses depending on the skin, but for both the USC and USN skin, it applies to the left hand sidebar. Choosing "Do not show navigation bar" actually removes the sidebar and makes the page full width.

HTML Header Content

Custom HTML and CSS can be added in this spot and the code will be added to the

section of the page.

Content Publish/Expiry Dates

This section is optional but it allows you to define a start and end date for the content to be published.

Publish Options

Be sure to select "Published" on a page when you are ready to make it viewable through site searches or in the navigation structure.

Page Content

Somewhat self-explanatory, this section holds the content for the entire page. The notable functions are the tabs at the top of the section - Basic, Source HTML and the Edit in New Window button.

Basic
This tab allows for what-you-see-is-what-you-get style editing, including formatting buttons, icons for embedding images, tables, etc. It also contains three icons to the right of the others for adding a News Section, an Attachments Section and an Events List.

Source HTML
This tab converts and Basic-tab content into HTML, and vice versa. Useful for those with knowledge of HTML that wish to edit the code directly. WebManager 4 includes code and error highlighting for better management. It can also be used to copy all of the code for an existing page and paste it into a plain text file in the event that something goes wrong with the editing and you wish to quickly paste the code back - or if you wish to utilize a different code editor such as Sublime Text.

Edit in New Window
Clicking on this button enables you to open a new window automatically with the page contents laid out in a selectable/editable fashion. This is useful if you are working with a pre-defined layout and only want to replace images, certain words within the text, change links, etc.
