Editing Pages

This site uses a Content Management System that stores pages in a database.  These pages can contain text, headings, images, links, and all the formatting normally associated with word processing.  If you are logged in via the Site Administration page, then you can edit page content simply by going to a page in the normal way and then selecting EDIT.

The other controls alongside allow you to make a Copy of a page, to Delete the page, to Add a new page or to Restore the page from previous versions.

Edit, Copy or Add bring the page back up with a set of word-processor editing controls at the top, as below:

The controls give an indication of their function when you place the mouse pointer over them.  Further details are available on the Help file accessible from the editing page.  It is possible to type in text or to paste it in either directly or through a text or MS Word filter.  The text can be made bold, italic, underlined, coloured, and the font changed in size or style (best to stick with Arial).  Preformatted headings may be added in various sizes.  Blocks of text can be aligned, bulleted or indented.  Images can be inserted and aligned. Links can be made from highlighted text or images.

A series of Flash animated tutorials are available, demonstrating how to use various functions of the Editor:

Standard Formatting Colors New Text Formatting List Formatting Paragraph Formatting

Hyperlink Image Table Insert Search & Replace Tag Selector

At any time the page can be saved and editing restarted.  New pages should first be given a Page Title and an appropriate Menu Section chosen from the existing list or a new one created.

If things go wrong it is possible to restore the page to any of up to 5 saved previous versions by clicking on the options bar of the normal page.  This brings up the Restore panel on which previous versions can be viewed by clicking, and then selected to replace the current version.  The current version is saved in the resore collection in case it is needed later.

Other Editing

A panel in the right-hand column can be edited using a similar editor.  This panel appears on every page, so it appears to be in the Home page when editing.

The Documents and Links pages have separate editing utilities.  Items can be added, deleted or updated.  the editing is done via forms with a comprehensive range of options.  The forms can be selected in Simple or Advanced versions.
