Introduction

This guide is short tutorial on adding and editing content on the RHESSI Website. In order to edit the site you must have a username and password. If you have these, you can login here:

The images used were taken from the Typo3 Wiki. A longer guide to editing content in Typo3 can be found here. An even more extensive guide in PDF form can be found here.

The Backend Tree

Once you have logged in to the site, click on View on the upper left of the page. The page should now appear similar to the screen shot below.

The backend tree for typo3. You should see this once you have logged in.

The part labeled (1) is task menu. For this list you can select from the tasks you are authorized to perform, depending on your user privileges. The next part, labeled (2), shows the page tree. This is the hierarchical listing of all pages on the current site. The top page is the home page, all pages branch for here and are shown in their position below the page they are spawned from in the tree. The section labeled (3) is the work area. The area labeled (4) shows the details for the user logged in. You should see your username along with details on the workspace you are using, any shortcuts you've added to pages you are working on, and the search function. Keep in mind that you should create all your pages in the Draft Workspace. If you are in the Draft Workspace, a banner will appear above section (2) saying Draft Workspace.

The basic tree for the new site has been created. Right Clicking on any page will cause the menu in the image below to appear.

The Menu, accessible by right clicking on a page in the tree, allows the user to perform a variety of functions on the page selected or add new pages.

Briefly, starting at the top and working our way down, each option in the menu does the following:

Creating a New Page

Selecting the option to create a new page will give the user options on the location of the page and the metadata for the page (title, direct URL, etc.) Once these have been selected content elements for the page can be created. The menu of different possible content elements is hown below along with the selection for the location of the element on the page.

A list of possible content elements to add to a page along with a selection for the position of the elements on the page.

The content elements are described in the text below the radio buttons which allow the user to select an element to add.
