a lot of important settings. This page allows the administrator
to quick review the current jobs_config file being used.
(for security reasons it doesn't allow to modify the file, in order
to do it the administrator should upload the modified file
by FTP)
|
Website -> Management
|
Jobs Portal is powered by a limited in functionality version of WebSiteAdmin.
The website -> management page is one of the websiteadmin structure and content
management related pages providing the possibility to freely edit the website
structure (add/remove pages) and content (using WYSIWYG editor or directly modifying
the page html). In order to edit the settings of a page (such as its title, meta tags etc.)
one should select the page appearing in the site structure tree with a left mouse click.
After that one needs to click with the right mouse of the button and a new context
menu will appear with multiple options.
|
Website -> Navigation menu
|
WebSiteAdmin offers flexible functionality for handling the main front
site navigation menu. There are 2 main types of navigation menus in WebSiteAdmin:
- Customized (it's possible with them to enter a template which will be used for every
link or enter arbitrary html code or image which will be shown for the page's link)
-Standard (these menus are generated automatically according to the website
structure defined by the administrator - they are multilevel and the administrator
can fully customize their colors and appearance from the Settings link on this page)
|
Templates -> Select a template
|
The page offers the possibility to the administrator to select
a template which will be used for the front site between the currently available
templates. Please note that in order to be able to select a template for
a given website, you need to add first the template (if it doesn't still exist)
|
Templates -> Add a new template
|
This page can be used to add new templates to the website. The administrator
have a choice to choose between the option to add the template
using the WYSIWYG templates editor (which produces simple template)
or to directly paste the template html code.
|
Templates -> Modify
|
On this page the administrator can see the available templates and modify
a selected template. In order to select a template for modification, the administrator
should click on the Modify icon and then a new text area having the full template
code will appear.
|
Extensions -> Extension Files
|
The extensions and custom tags, provide an universal way to expand the WebSiteAdmin functionality.
The so called extensions represent regular php files which output html code. So one could create a new extension
just as writing a standard php file. In order to set this file to be executed on a selected
page (and the correspondent content to be rendered) the administrator needs to go to
Website->Management, then select a page with a left mouse click and then right click
and a new context menu will appear having the different options.
|
Extensions -> Custom tags
|
The difference between a custom tag and an extension is that a custom tag
can be plugged in the template's code and then set some extension file to
be executed for it. In such way, every time the system finds such a custom
tag in the template's html, it will execute the extension file and replace the associated
tag with html rendered by the extension file.
|
Tools -> Image Manager
|
The image manager could be useful for quick review of the available
images on the website (including these uploaded by the users).
The administrator is able to delete some of the images if he wishes.
|
Tools -> Create Form
|
The custom server side forms functionality is a standard WebSiteAdmin
feature allowing the administrator to create and publish on the front site
forms (such as contact forms) with custom fields defined by the administrator.
Adding a new custom server side form can be done on 2 steps - the first one is
to enter the form name and a brief description and the second one is to add the form
fields. For every field the administrator should specify its name, type, the text displayed near it,
its size and if it's an obligatory field (available only for some of the fields) and the message which will
show up if the user leaves empty an obligatory field.
|
Tools -> Manage the forms
|
This page provides functionality to manage the existing custom server side forms.
One can assign a form on a page as well as modify the form settings - such as message that
will be displayed to the user when he submits the form as well as the email to which
the data will be sent and a few others.
The "Posted Data" page can be used to view the posted data by the users from the custom
server side forms published on the website. Please note that if the administrator
has defined also an email to which the posted data should be sent, it will be sent
to the email and it will appear on this page.
|
Statistics -> Reports
|
The administrator can see multiple statistics info from the pages from the Statistics
category in the back office. He could also find pages allowing to check the Google
registration status of the pages of the website as well as submit them in Google and
a few other popular search engines.
|
Security -> User groups
|
The office offers the possibility to create different
back office user groups and users in them and assign different permissions
to access the pages in the back office.
These groups and the associated permission sets can be used after that
when creating the store packages.
|
Security -> Permissions
|
The Security->Permissions can be used to modify the permissions for a selected
user group. The main administrator has to check the check boxes of the pages that the members
from this group will be allowed to access.
|
Settings -> Language Versions
|
Jobs Portal is multilanguage and can support
multiple languages. On this page the administrator can add a new language
version or deactivate some of the current ones. Please note that when adding
a new language version, one needs also to translate and add the corresponding
language file for it.
|
Settings -> Languages menu
|
If the website is multilanguage and a languages menu has to
be displayed on the front site, this page can be used to customize this menu.
The standard menu is composed by flags - one needs to click on the corresponding
flag to switch between the different language versions. The customized menu
offers the possibility to enter arbitrary code for every language menu item.
So the administrator has in this way the possibility to enter other images or whatever
html code (it can be for example the name of the language version etc.)
|
Settings -> Styles
|
From this page the administrator can change some general website style settings
such as the default font color, the default links color etc.
If the first field on this page "Disable these styles" is set to YES,
the styles set on this page won't apply for the website.
