	~~Go back to~~ [[cchost/~~admin~~\|ccHost ~~Administrators' Documentation~~]]		You can create pages in your system without any HTML/XML file editing whatsoever. Examples of pages created this way are the [http://ccmixter.org/ ccMixter home page] and [http://ccmixter.org/view/media/remix/trackback As Seen on the Web].

	First create new content topics:		First create new content topics:

	~~Repeat these~~ steps ~~for addition topics except replace step (4):~~		When you want to add more topics repeat the steps above but select "my_page_content" from the ''Content type'' drop down instead of entering it manually.

	4. ~~At 'Content Type' select 'my_page_content' from the drop down, leave 'New Content Type' blank~~		==Optionally add images==
			You can optionally add images when submitting content.

	Images are uploaded to '''local_files/images''' ~~(replace local_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:		Images are uploaded to '''<local_files>/images''' To refer to those images use the '''[img]''' block in your topics. Example:

	[img=/local_files/images/my_image.gif][/img]		[img=<local_files>/images/my_image.gif][/img]

	You can also use the ~~new~~ 'left' or 'right' blocks to float images ~~or blocks of text~~:		You can also use the '''[left]''' or '''[right]''' blocks to float images:

	~~# While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Global Settings' in the menu~~		==Optionally perform queries==
	~~# Click on 'Manage Page Content'~~		One powerful feature of adding content this way is the ability to easily embed queries into your content topics. This is how the [http://ccmixter.org/featured-playlists Featured Playlists] feature at ccMixter is implemented:
	~~# Click on 'Create a New Page'~~
	~~# At 'Content Type' select "my_page_content"~~
	~~# Enter a page title like "My Page" (without the quotes)~~
	~~# Click on 'Submit' -~~ this ~~should take you back to~~ the ~~'Manage Page Content' screen~~
	~~# Click on 'view' next~~ to your ~~new page to preview~~ the ~~page (Note the URL in your browser)~~

	~~===Mapping a Page to a Navigation Tab===~~

	~~To map your new page to a tab:~~		<nowiki>[left][query=t=avatar&u=mcjackinthebox][/query][/left]</nowiki>

	~~# While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Manage Site' in~~ the ~~menu~~		=Create the page=
	~~# Click on 'Navigator Tab Sets'~~		Your topic type is now ready to be merged with a page. Here is how you set up that page:

	~~# Click on 'Add tab'~~
	~~# Under 'Function' select 'Execute URL'~~
	~~# Under 'Data' enter the URL from Step (7) in the section above~~

	~~The command for viewing documents is 'viewfile' (or alias 'docs'). The~~

			=Creating New Content Pages=
			You can create pages in your system without any HTML/XML file editing whatsoever. Examples of pages created this way are the [http://ccmixter.org/ ccMixter home page] and "[http://ccmixter.org/view/media/remix/trackback As Seen on the Web]"

			First create new content topics:

			# While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Global Settings' in the menu
			# Click on 'Manage Page Content'
			# Click on 'Create New Content'
			# At 'New Content Type' type in "my_page_content" (without the quotes)
			# Enter a title and topic contents
			# Click on 'Submit Content'

			Repeat these steps for addition topics except replace step (4):

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

			Images are uploaded to '''local_files/images''' (replace local_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=/local_files/images/my_image.gif][/img]

			You can also use the new 'left' or 'right' blocks to float images or blocks of text:

			[left][img=/local_files/images/my_image.gif][/img][/left]

			Next create a new content page:

			# While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Global Settings' in the menu
			# Click on 'Manage Page Content'
			# Click on 'Create a New Page'
			# At 'Content Type' select "my_page_content"
			# Enter a page title like "My Page" (without the quotes)
			# Click on 'Submit' - this should take you back to the 'Manage Page Content' screen
			# Click on 'view' next to your new page to preview the page (Note the URL in your browser)

			===Mapping a Page to a Navigation Tab===

			To map your new page to a tab:

			# While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Manage Site' in the menu
			# Click on 'Navigator Tab Sets'
			# Click on '[edit tabs]'
			# Click on 'Add tab'
			# Under 'Function' select 'Execute URL'
			# Under 'Data' enter the URL from Step (7) in the section above
			# 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/my-page" without the quotes and
			substituting my-page with the name of your page.

			=Adding Static Content Pages=
			The command for viewing documents is 'viewfile' (or alias 'docs'). The
			parameter is the name of a PHP file in the 'docs Path' found in Global
			Settings->Paths. So if you have directory structure like:

			www-root
			\|
			--- local_files
			\|
			---- pages

			* Create a file '''local_files/pages/credits.php'''
			* Make sure '''local_files/pages''' directory is in your 'docs Path' settings
			* You can display that file via:

			http://ccmixter.org/viewfile/credits OR
			http://ccmixter.org/docs/credits

			(Leave off the PHP from the URL command)

			Since the viewfile (aka docs) command is the default command you don't even have to specify the command in the browser.
