Webyep

Sure but I don’t mind placing the little bits of code in by hand - anywayall sorted Thomas thanks -

I have another question relating to Webyeb though - can you create another whole page through the CMS? Ie the use would like to produce another page?

Hi Justin,

Yeahhh - sure it’s possible but I’m afraid that it not just a few lines of code to do.

I have another question relating to Webyeb though - can you create another whole page through the CMS? Ie the use would like to produce another page?

The key is either to use a WY Menu, which is “linked” to a ready prepared empty freeway-page (instance). Each new menu entry will create a new page-instance collected within the menu

or

the “read more” element, that’s placed within a loop and with each new loop a new page-instance of the ready prepared fw-page will be created too (but uncollected like in the menu).

I support any thoughts of “dealing with code instead using an action” but it should be clarified if it really makes sense or not.

I built a couple of WY pages in the past and I never ever had the feeling that I should have once preferred the code-way, honestly one of my best investment I’ve ever done (including Max as a brillant supporter coming alongside with the action). I furthermore want to prevent WY being judged as an “outermost complicated peace of work” which in fact it isn’t.

My five cents.

Cheers

Thomas

Thanks - is there a walkthrough anywhere?

Using Max’s WY actions is a real time saver, then you can then also refer to the Actions manual to get you started.

You could only use only the WY code then you need to refer to the online manual: http://www.obdev.at/products/webyep/docu.html

If you are using only code I would use Walt’s Crowbar action to stop Freeway adding tags around your code inserts.

Yep great thanks David this is what I am doing - just wondered if there was a way to create a new page only through the CMS?

Hi Justin

You create your basic pages set in Freeway.

WY can create a new pages form these (instance as Obdev call it) by using the Menu element or the Read More element

Using these create a new pages (instances) based on the same page (template) or to direct to a different page (template).

Best way is to play with WY to experience it.

I’m looking to do something similar, in terms of enabling the user to add new pages on his or her own. Does anyone have any examples of websites they’ve designed than use WebYep or any other CMS to do this?

I don’t know that looking at a completed site will give you any useful insight as to how the adding-a-new-page process works within a given CMS. You really need to test drive one and see how it works or at the very least read the documentation. Perch has a decent explanation (and video, I believe) of how their “Pages” app works.

Good point. I’ll check out the tutorial.

Okay, I checked out the tutorial and everything seems pretty straightforward, albeit a little confusing for a new coder. I do have one question though.

In the demo page, the instructor is modifying code in php pages. As Freeway Pro users, how do we know exactly where to insert the Pages code since we don’t have direct access to the code Freeway generates?

In 2 ways:

Menu > Page > HTML Markup

or

Menu > Insert > Markup Item

Yes, but where would insert the code with those options?

Yes, but where would insert the code with those options?

If you’re prepping the page to use Perch then you would insert that particular snippet in the “Before HTML” slot using Page > HTML Markup

If you’re adding editable content to an element (div) then you would use Insert > Markup Item.
