 Edit or Delete Articles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An Article will be one of the most used elements in your website.

 

  It can hold text, images, forms, tables, and many other types of Content. 

         

 

There, undoubtedly, will be times that some of your Articles

 

will need to be changed in some way, or even deleted. 

 

 Let's take a look at all our options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1.   Generally, we use a variety of tools when editing.  These tools are always seen at the top of the screen, and are available for use on

         every page of your site with one exception.  The Form Building icons can only be used when working on a Form.

 

      • For a complete description of all the editing tools, see the page A Quick Look at the Editing Icons and What They Can Do, or click here.

 

 

 

 

 

If you have placed an  Article that is seen on every page of your site,

such as an Article that contains your company's logo,

 or a "Help" link. 

 

If you want to edit or delete it, you'll need to go to the page where it was first created. 

 

If you don't remember where you first created the Article,

go to any page and do a right click

 in the Article itself.  

 

The  Article Properties flyout will appear, seen here. 

 

 

Then, click Info.  The Element Info flyout will appear, seen below. 

 

Look at the Origin Page.

 

 We see the  Article was created on the Admin page.

 

 

Now, you can go to the Admin page, and edit or delete the  Article following the instructions below. 

 

 

 

To edit or delete

 an Article,

 go to the page where

 it was originally placed.

 

 

In Edit Mode, right click in the Article.

 

 

The Details window

 will appear, seen here.

                                                

 

 

   2.   The Article properties window offers information and editing choices.  Click on each subject to see what they offer.

 

      • Info:  This offers specific information about the Article, such as the Origin of the site, the Placement, whether it is shown on only one page or all pages, who created it, etc.

 

      • Hide: It allows you to hide the type of Article when it is in Published Mode.  This is especially helpful if it is not ready to be seen by a visitor.   Also, it's handy to use if a Parent site has content being pushed to a Child site, but doesn't want it seen on the Parent site.

 

      • Opt-in:  This is not available for Articles.

 

      • Delete:  If you click on this, a "Warning" pop-up will appear, as seen below.  Click OK  to go ahead and delete the Article.  Click Cancel  to avoid deleting. 

        

 
      • Move to:  The arrow allows you to move the Article to different areas on the page.  The choices offered are:  Up, Down, and Move Last.  These choices can be used in the current panel.  Other choices offer to move the Article to panels outside the current panel, such as to the Main panel, the Header, the Footer, or to the Menu panel.
      • Dynamic Fields...      If you click on the icon, the flyout offers you various options.  These options allow you to insert selected information that will be displayed as part of the external URL address.  This tool is particularly helpful when working with Child sites. 

 

      • Retrieve an Article:  If you click on this, it will take you to the Library where you can select a stored Article to insert onto the page.  To see more about searching for, and selecting a stored Article, see the page Article Storage in the Library, 

                   or click here.

 

      • Store Article:  Click this, and it will allow you to keep this Article in the Library for future use.  When clicked, it will bring up the Add new article screen where you will name the Article, give it Keywords or a Description (optional, but helpful to SEO) and choose the folder where the Article will be stored. 

 

       

  Add new article screen

 

  

      • Download Article:  This is used if you want to download the Article into an HTML document.

 

      • Properties:  Click and it will take you to the Page Elements wizard.  The wizard's tabs are seen below.  You can go through each tab and change certain characteristics of the Article.

 

 

 

               3.   The Placement tab is where you can change how the Article is shown, on only one page, or all pages.  You cannot

                     change which panel it is placed in.  To review Content Placement, click here.

 

               4.   The Publish Dates tab is where you can change or set Start and Stop dates.  To review Publish Dates, click here.

 

               5.   The Visibility tab is where you can change who is allowed to see the Article. To review Visibility, click here.

 

               6.   The Publishing tab is for Parent sites only.  Content can be required or optional for any child sites. 

                      To review Publishing, click here.

 

               7.   Click Finish    to complete the Page Elements wizard.  Webtreepro will take you back to your newly edited

                      Article.  Click on Cancel    to exit without saving your editing changes.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes, you might need to edit in only one of the Page Elements tabs. 

Just go to the top of the screen, and click on the tab you need. 

Do your editing, and then click Finish . 

No matter which tab you are on, the Finish button will save all your changes,

and bring you back to the page you're working on. 

You don't have to go through each tab of Page Elements to leave the wizard.
