To modify the content of an existing template for a static page
When editing content, it is recommended that you have 2 browsers open.
- One to use this to modify the content
- Second to view the changed content
This way you do not need to login and out to review the content.
Step-by-step guide
Identify the Template you want to change
- Browse the page as an end user
- At the start of the page content that requires change, "right click" in the Web Browser
- Choose "Inspect Element"
- The brower's console will appear, and just above the area you have highlighted, you will see a HTML Comment with a title "Template Name:" (This usually appears in Green to denote it is a comment)
- Note this template name
To Edit Page Content using the Content Editor
- Login as an Administrator
- Go to "Content"
- Go to "Content Editor"
- In the Search For box, enter the name of the template
- Click on Content Editor - the editor will appear in a window with the "Content Editor" tab selected - when prompted about the Content Editor will alter your code, press OK (refer Info below).
- Make your changes
- Click Save
You may see a message that the content editor will modify your template. This can happen as the content editor will attempt to make corrections to HTML code that it considers malformed. You can view the changes the content editor has made by clicking on the "History" tab, and clicking the "Compare" button
If you do not want to save the changes made by the content editor, you can "Cancel" the editing operation and choose to use the "Code Editor", which does not modify your template.
