I have built a website for a user. She will have more pages she will need over time. Is there a facility in Elements for her to add her own pages, and content? She should be able to use from inside her site. I don’t want to be reopening Elements every time she needs changes. Thanks David
I notice this didn’t get answered yet. I’ll give it a try.
If we’re talking complex pages with new elements, she’d need a copy of Elements to do that and some instruction. You could built a template using globals that she’d just copy as a new page, override the global setting, then change the templated information to what she wants.
If we’re talking “articles,” blog, or that sort of thing, the flat file CMS looks like it will handle that (but it’s not available to try yet). You’d need to design the template for these pages, but she would be able to just create Markdown text to “create” a new page. The part I don’t know yet is exactly what the best way for her to do that yet would be. I’m using One Markdown in anticipation of the CMS appearing, so I have a bunch of Markdown files already. The question is how do I quickly move them into the site structure, and for that, we need the CMS system to go beta, which I’m told will happen in a couple of weeks or so.
Thanks Thom. There is still the issue of menu elements, but that can be minimal action on my part. I’ll have some extra pages that are hidden, and all I should need to do is to activate them. The template will be similar.
