Elements

SMART ELEMENTS

Intelligent element (smart element) - used to automate the creation of content (filling) the page. The main functions of an intelligent element are the creation of lists of pages in the form of links with accompanying various information pages, which simplifies the structuring of complex elements.

The following smart elements are presented in our CMS:

• Normal link - allows you to display a list of links to pages with a simplified visual design. For standard templates, this element displays the page names.

The following settings are available for this item:

"Publication date" - if you check this box, the hyperlink will be displayed with the publication date if the page has a time of appearance.

"Add content to the newsletter" - if you enable this setting, then this link will be a link only on the site, and when generating a newsletter for this page - the link will go not to the link, but to the full content of the page on which it is installed;

"Only the first part of the header" - specifies the inclusion of only the main page header in the link.

• Major link - displays a list of links to pages, usually with rich visual design. By default, for all templates, this element displays a page icon, its name and a short description.

The following settings are available for this item: "Publication date", "Add content to the newsletter", see "Normal link" settings.

Page text - allows you to add not a link, but a whole page, with all the content on it.

The following settings are available for this item:

"Date of publication" is similar to the option in the "Normal link";

"Lower header level" - lowers the level of the headers of the imported page by one level;

"Add page title (in italics)" - this option allows you to enable or disable displaying the title of the page - the content source;

"Only the first part of the header" is the same as the option in the "Normal link".

• Site map - the element is designed to create a list consisting of links to pages. The map in this case includes the selected page and the pages embedded in it.

The following settings are available here:

"With descriptions" - adding descriptions to the sections of the site map;

"List" - display the site map in the form of a bulleted list. If you turn off this setting, the map sections are displayed in a column, but without naming the pages;

"Number" - the numbering of sections of the card;

"Date of publication" - adding to the page names the date of publication;

"Description on a new line" - serves to display a description of the pages under their name;

"Do not show the root page" - hides that page from the list that was selected as the source;

"Only the first part of the header" is the same as the option in the "Normal link";

"Include pages that are not in the local list" - allows you to include in the list of pages for which the "Do not show in sequence" check box is selected.

"Do not include the last level" - to limit the nesting of the site map;

"Abbreviated name only" - the abbreviated name will be used.

• Active logic - an element allows you to connect an executable script to the page, i.e. is intended for selection and insertion of the required php-file.

To add php-files to the pages of the site, it is enough to upload them to the local folder of the site "active".

• Catalog of goods, Order panel, Basket.
• Form Catalog - allows you to create a search and display a table that is associated with a generic form.
• Form output - displays the previously configured form display.

CATEGORIES

The "Categories" item is designed to distribute the content of the site by category, one or more categories may be selected for each page. Here you can add or remove categories required for page allocation when generating intelligent items. This will allow the user to more quickly find the necessary information on the site, viewing the entire category will help to read not only one page, but also all thematically related pages.

You can apply to the category page by selecting the "Categories" item in the properties panel. In this window, you can also create a category or delete it by selecting the appropriate items in the right pane of the Categories window.

The position of the property is whether the field is expanded or minimized in the tree form by default.

Visibility conditions - specifies a condition that determines whether to display this particular field in the editor on a particular page. The conditions are selected in the drop-down list by ticking - the user himself marks the templates for which you want to display the property.

In addition to the templates, the drop-down list also contains items "Is a product" and "Not a commodity", if the jack is for this item, then the field is displayed only for the page that is a commodity or not. Similarly, there are items "Home Page" and "Not the Home Page". If the jackdaw is not worth for any item, the visibility condition "Always" and the field is visible for all pages.
