Jango User guide - Manage Pages/Pages

The manage pages menu item allows the administrator to create, edit and delete custom pages within Jango. These pages are organised to form the main structure of your site. The pages can be uploaded from existing HTML or text documents, or they can be created within Jango itself.

In Jango, a 'Page' is a content object and as such can be organised, published, unpublished, archived or un-archived. It can contain text, HTML, XML, JavaScript, URL links, images or other media. A page cannot contain server-parsed scripts such as PHP as the code has already been executed by the server prior to drawing it in the user's web browser.

When you first open the 'Pages' section, you will see there are two modes to work in: Site structure mode and search mode.

Site structure mode allows you to see the pages as they relate to the menu structure. The menu structure is a plan of your website. Search mode allows you to search for specific pages, regardless of their position in the site or category.

Editing Pages

To alter what the home page looks like it will be necessary to change what Inpage Elements are being shown. To change the colour scheme or structure of the page the template will need to be edited.

Any page that has been created since the installation of Jango may be edited. To edit a page:
