Add a page to the CMS

Overview

All pages in the CMS are accessed via the navigation menu, which is located on the left side of the CMS screen. Out-of-the-box, there are standard pages, which are available on all sites. NOTE - What menu items a CMS user can see also depends on the features enabled on the site and their Role permissions.

Sometimes, sites may require access to non-standard pages, e.g., to have a frequently-assessed menu item page from your website available in CMS or to add a feature that is not automatically configured out-of-the-box. This guide will show you how to add a page to the CMS. Be aware the the page you're adding to the CMS menu will need to exist as a menu item on the CSSADMIN menu first. Otherwise it will not appear in the CMS.

Before you begin, decide where you want to add a link to the page...

The standard navigation menu uses three levels for organisation. The highest level contains three group menus: 'E-Commerce', 'Content' and 'Settings'. Each group has several top level menus under it. Top-level menu items are fly out menus. This means when selected, the top level menu expands to display its menu items. These menu items are page links. For example, to access the 'Roles' page, the user needs to navigate to the 'E-Commerce' group, click 'Users ', then 'Roles'.     

You can add a page link to any existing group and top level menu or add it in a separate top level menu called 'Other', which by default, displays under the Settings group. 

Step-by-step guide

To add a page to a CMS group menu: 

1. In the CMS, navigate to Advanced Content → Resources. 
   
   
   
2. In Resource Maintenance, search for the resource rcCssAdminPageAdditions.
   
   
   
3. Click on rcCssAdminPageAdditions.
   
   
4. To edit the resource, click Modify.
   
   
   
5. In Resource Value, add the page name. Each resource value must be comma-separated. This means if there are existing values, add a comma before you enter the new one.
   
   How you add the resource value depends on where you want the page link to appear:
   
   1. Under a standard existing group: Group|Top level menu item| menu item label|page name

   2. Under the Others menu: menu item label|page name 
       NOTE - 'Others' will automatically appear as a top level menu.
      
      

      Examples

      We want to add the User Imports page 'zUserImport.aspx?mode=admin''

      (1) Adding to an existing group:

      We want to add 'User Imports' to the Users menu.

      Add to top level menu 'Users' in the 'Ecommerce' group . Since there is an existing resource value, first, we add add a comma, then 'ECommerce|Users|User Imports|zUserImport.aspx?mode=admin'.

          

      (2) Adding to the 'Others' menu

      Since there is an existing resource value, first, we add add a comma, then 'User Imports|zUserImport.aspx?mode=admin'                    
      

6. To save the changes, click OK.
   
   
7. Refresh the Dictionary for 'System Control'. (For a guide on refreshing the dictionary, see Cache Refreshing.)
   
   
8. The page will now appear in the CMS navigation menu.
