GUI CMS MENU WEB PAGES SECTION

This menu system allows the administrative user to enter into all aspects of the website core and make changes or edit web pages and settings.

Web pages section.

Edit/View Existing Pages in Database:

There are various types of data in this section, all the core data from the database is viewed in this section and can be edited by selecting the data to be edited and the editor in which to use. The data can also be deleted here as well by selecting the data to be deleted and then clicking on delete.

There are three editor types to choose from: CSS, HTML, CODE. The CSS option works only with user web pages and finds the CSS to edit for those pages. The HTML editor is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) type editor and it allows the web page HTML code to easily be edited while seeing how the page will look as its edited and adds the code into the page for the user. The CODE editor allows any code or text to be edited to the selected data manually, in some cases as in CSS this is the only editor that can be used because the HTML editor will remove any code that the editor sees as invalid.

To link web pages together as a navigational website, menu items and links will need to be added in HTML on the pages individually. These pages and how they are linked can be viewed by clicking on the 'view website map' upper right of the edit list. Links on the website map will open the web page for viewing. Links to view user web pages within the yellow areas of the edit list are in blue. Blue text within the pink areas are page descriptions and are not links.

Website map:

The types of data in this section are:

The user web pages in the yellow sections , these can be edited without changing how the core functions. Pink section is all the core data ranging from settings to web pages within the core and should be edited carefully as to not stop the core from functioning properly or crashing.

Data types:

The data types are designated by index extensions at the beginning of each data name. These types are: 'pg' web page data, 'pgd' web pages description data, 'data' core data, 'sys' system data, 'css' CSS data for web pages and menus. Some data may not have an extension, that is unclassified data for the core.

Other special types are classified within the data name, 'docs' are documents and 'secure' are secure items such as menus. This section will have the types described with all the data listed and is color coded.

The editors:

There are two types of editors in this section, HTML and CODE. The HTML editor adds HTML code for the user and shows how the page will look as it is edited. The CODE editor is a text editor that any code can be added to without any changes made to it, unlike the HTML editor which will remove any invalid code the user may add. Changes do not take effect until the data is saved.

Creating a new database entry:

Database core items are called 'pages' in WPC and can be thought of as pages in a book within the database for the core to use, each has a name so it can be found like a page name and content as the data of that page. Some pages have attached data such as a page description.

This section will create the database page for the user with the proper index extension added to it, or the page can be entered manually by adding the index extension to the page name. Adding the index extension will over ride automatic functions and only add a page 'title' or attached data only if its present.

If the secure page box is checked a secured page will be created and an attached data page will also be created for that page if there is an entry in 'page title' at that time. A secured page requires that the user be logged in to view the page or execute the data. Template data will no be added to this type page.

If the system page box is checked the page will be created as system data for the core to use. No attached data or template data will be added to this type.

If no boxes are checked a user web page will be created and a page title is mandatory along with template selection or the page will not be created. A list of all available template options will be listed in the template selection drop down menu. Or it can be left to the default 'current settings' and the template data currently being used will be added to the page.

Edit an existing PHP store file:

Store files are files the administrative user can create and execute on the server and use within the website without uploading them in both PHP and HTML. These files are located at /store/php/ and /store/html/ respectively. They can be opened but this section by the link in blue and by the directory file list by going to /store/ directly.

To view the code and edit this PHP file select it from the list and click 'edit/view'. Or select file to be deleted and click delete.

Creating a new PHP store file:

Regardless of whether a PHP extension is added or any other extension the new file will always have the extension 'php'.

Below is what the user will see when first the file is created by using the below to create a new PHP store file.

This is an explanation of this self inserted code:

<?php

$doc_root=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

include_once ($doc_root.'/core/system/config/config.php');

// SECURE PAGE BEGIN

//require ($doc_root.'/core/system/includes/secure.php');

//if($status !== "secure") {echo "<a href='http://".$domain_name."/core/system/admin/login.php'>Click here to login.</a>"; exit;}

// SECURE PAGE END

$page=$_GET['page'];

if($page == NULL) {$page_name="pg.index";}else{$page_name=$page;}

$page_name=str_replace('pg.', 'pg.', $page_name, $true_pg);

if($true_pg == 0) {$page_name="pg.".$page_name;}

if($options[2]=="template") {$data_name = $page_name."_".$template;

}else{$data_name = $page_name."_".$options[3];}

$templ_data=$data_name;

// NON-SECURE PAGE BEGIN

str_replace('secure', '', $data_name, $true);

if($true > 0) {echo "This is a secure item and can not be displayed here please <a class='link_b' href='/login'>login</a> to see this secure page."; exit;}

// NON-SECURE PAGE END

include ($doc_root.'/core/system/includes/db_wpc_core.php');

$page_html=$db_wpc_core_out_decoded;

$data_name="data.x-css";

include ($doc_root.'/core/system/includes/db_wpc_core.php');

$page_html=$db_wpc_core_out_decoded.$page_html;

// page HTML data

include ($doc_root.'/core/system/includes/templates/'.$template.'/index_html_inc/inc_index_header.php');

echo $page_html;

include ($doc_root.'/core/system/includes/templates/'.$template.'/index_html_inc/inc_index_footer.php');

If the page is not going to use database HTML then delete code not needed for the page.

For a secured page un-comment the highlighted code:
