Page Basics:

Page name:

The page name is used to determine the page's URL address, navigate to the page and create links to the page. Make a page name unique (not duplicating a name given to any other page on your site) as this will ensure faster search results. When naming a page consider what the main function of that page will be to your site; for example a 'Contacts', 'About', 'Blog' or 'Store' page. Use alphanumeric text only (icons such as !@#$% may corrupt the page URL making navigation to it impossible) The page name will be displayed in the 'pages list' section of your site allowing it to be edited once published. 

Display Name:

This is the text that visitors to your site will see displayed. The Display Name text remains live on your website, perhaps in a table of contents or the top of your Home Page and is used as a link to a page. The Display Name is usually a shortened form of the Page Name found in your website's Pages List and should describe the page being linked to. (E.g a page created for a current event could have the Page Name set as; "2017 wellington student art auction" but have the Display Name simply set as; "Art Auction" on the Home Page)  

 This name does not need to be unique and does not form part of the page's URL for the purposes of searching (so can contain symbols etc if you wish) Common Display Names on a site include 'Contact', 'About us', 'Events', 'Donate' or 'News'.

Activate Page:

Clicking the tick box will activate the page once you have finished creating it (making the page visible to visitors on your website). Pages can be voluntarily turned off using this function to hide a page that is no longer current; or allow you to edit the page before making it live on the site.

Page Searchable:

Ticking this box will allow the page to be searchable from within your website. Pages that are used as menus, adverts or members areas might not be desirable as searchable. The default setting is 'on'.

Page Created:

The default setting will date the page from the moment you have completed creating it. (E.g after clicking 'save' on the 'create/edit' page)

The date/time can be altered here if the date the page was created is important - E.g a media release or event.

Page Start:

Leave as is unless the date of the page being created is important E.g an event or enrolment form. The default setting will start the page (make the page visible on the site) immediately after it has been activated (see 'Activate Page' above)

Page Stop:

If the page is required to end at a specific time or date you can enter it here. An example would be an event closing, a finishing time/date for a show or a cut-off period for enrolements. The default setting will not specify any stop date/time for the page. 

Metadata:

Page Description:

The Page Description summarizes the content of the page E.g Metadata for a blog page could contain a description regarding the blog's contents or theme, the Metadata for a Gala day might display general information about the day's activities or location.

This description, once entered, is not visible on the webpage itself but is displayed within the search results. Usually 160 characters will be enough.

Page Keywords:

Used to increase search engine results. Enter words or phrases connected to the page subject matter. Separate with commas E.g working,people,bookmark etc. If this field is left blank copy will be entered from the page text.

Extra Features:

User Ratings:

Shown in the top right of the page, User ratings allow a page visitor to rate between 1 and 5 with the average number being displayed after subsequent  ratings have been made. An example of User Ratings being used on a page might be; ratings for products in a Store Front or a voting system.

User Comments:

Useful on blog sites, product review pages or perhaps a news hub. Four tick boxes are supplied which allow you to set how comments may be left on the page. Please note that by using these boxes any combination of preferences is allowable.

E.g, You could set the comments to be made: by members only, but displayed after they are moderated. By any visitor to the page and displayed immediately. Or made by any visitor, but displayed only after moderation.     

Additionally, the forth tick box allows the comments to include an image uploaded by the user if you desire. 

Anonymous: 

Ticking this box will allow ANY visitor to the page to leave a comment. The visitor does not have to be logged in or a member to do this. 

Moderated:

Ticking this box will allow a moderator to view any comments left BEFORE deciding to publish them on the page. Only the page moderator can see these comments. The comments can then be displayed or hidden as the moderator chooses.

Unmoderated:

Ticking this box will allow any comments made by visitors to be displayed IMMEDIATELY on the page.

Image uploads with comments:

Ticking this option allows comments to include a single image file uploaded by the visitor. The image will be posted with their comment.

Restrict Access:

A security measure that allows you to set an access level for viewing the page. By ticking this box, visitors that are non-members will not have sufficient privileges to view the page. 

Page Password:

If you wish you may set a password to restrict viewing access to a page. Please note, setting a password to a page will restrict access to that page only and if multiple pages are set with the same password, ALL pages will be unlocked by entering that one password.

Crawler Frequency:

Used as part of search engine optimization for the purposes of browser rankings, the Crawler Frequency Rate will set a the regularity this page will ask to be crawled for information by a search engine. For best results the frequency rate should be set to match how often the page will be updated E.g, a page which is receiving ratings or comments hourly should have a more frequent crawl rate assigned to it than a page with static information that is unlikely to need updating.

The drop down box allows for the options of; Always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or never. A value of 'Always' would be set if a page changed every time it was accessed E.g, a rating page or voting page. A value of 'Daily' should be set if the page is updated only after that amount of time would have elapsed E.g, a blog page or news resource.

Crawler Priority:

Set this value to give priority to the page/s you wish targeted by search engine crawlers. This could be used to ensure that a page you update regularly, or one that has useful information is targeted before other pages and is updated and ranked more constantly. Pages with a higher priority will be more likely to appear in search engine browser results than those with a lower priority.

This value only affects the pages of your own website and does not affect the ranking of those pages compared to pages on other sites. It is also worth noting that assigning a high priority to all of the pages on your site will simply negate any of the pages appearing more constantly than others.

Page Head Tags:

The <head> element is a container for all the head elements. The <head> element can include a title for the document, scripts, styles, meta information, and more.

If you wish to add additional head tags to this document you may enter them here. Flightdec allows you to enter tags to further define your document head.

Page Body Tags:

The <body> tag defines the document's body. The <body> element contains all the contents of an HTML document, such as text, hyperlinks, images, tables, lists, etc.If you wish to add additional tags to the page's body, Flightdec allows them to be added here.

Page Styles:

If you wish to alter the stylesheet/CSS of this page, you may enter it here. No other page of your site will be affected by the alterations made here.

Page Template:

If the page is required to have a different look to the rest of your site then you may select a predefined template here. Alternatively you can also create templates in your sites template directory and these will be scanned and made available here.

Module Template:

If the page is required to have a different look when printing out the modules then you may select a predefined template here. Alternatively you can also create templates in your sites template directory and these will be scanned and made available here.

Page Scripts:

Page Relationships:

Parent Page:

The parent page system is used to group pages with similar or linked content together, usually in a menu or drop down list. For example, a 'Parent' page might be set as 'Products' and 'Child' pages such as product categories can be attributed to it. 

If you wish to make the page you are creating a 'child' page to a drop down menu or list; select the (already existing) Parent page from the form box. The page you are creating will now be the child to this parent page. If you want your page to be accessible only from a drop down menu on the parent page tick the 'Hide Page' box.

Secondary Parent Page:

Flightdec has the option to use two menus on your website simultaneously if you wish. This 'Secondary Parent Page' option simply allows you to set the page you are creating as a child page to the selected Secondary parent page/menu.

Hide page: Using the 'Hide Page' tick box will make your page accessible as a 'child' from the Primary or Secondary Parent Page menu drop down; depending on which menu the page is set to be a child page of.  

URL Redirect:

This function can be used for redirecting to either external or internal URL's. Examples of this might be; a sports club redirecting to a leader board on another site, or a store redirecting to product sales information on another page.

For redirecting to an external URL; cut and paste the URL of the page being redirected to and add it to the form box. To redirect to an internal URL (one from your own site) simply cut and paste the extension of the page i.e, to redirect internally to 'www.flightdec.com/contact+us' you would only need to cut and paste '/contact+us' 

Page Menus:

Empty Site Cache:

If many changes are being made to the web page/site you are creating/editing; emptying your sites cache will ensure you see these changes immediately without the danger of older or obsolete content being loaded for display.
