Content > Pages
When you navigate to Content > Pages you see a list of all the pages on your site. They are listed in the order that they appear in the menu, with sub-items listed under their parent page.
The columns for each page are as follows, from left to right:
• Title: the title of the page, which should not be confused with Menu Text that is the text that will be displayed in the menu.
• Template: name of the template that is used for that particular page.
• Type: content can be one of five types:
o Section Header: you can divide your menu in sections and show a section header for each section.
o Content: normal content.
o Link: a link from the menu to an internal or external page.
o Separator: not really content, but a mechanism for dividing menus into cohesive units.
o News: one of two ways to create a News page, the other is using a module tag inside a Content page. When selecting News as content type for a page the entire {content} tag in your templates is in use by the News module.
• Owner: The user that created the page.
• Active: A page can only be accessed on your site if it is active. If it’s not active it is not shown in the menu and can’t be accessed by a direct link, but it still exists ”in the system”. That is you can edit a page until you think it’s ready to be released, which is when you make it active.
• Default: The default page is the page that is shown when the visitor enters your site.
• Move: Click the arrows to move a page upwards or downwards in the page hieararchy.
• The three icons to the right are View (which opens the particular page in a new window), Edit (same as if you click on the page title) and Delete (deletes the page).
If all your pages can’t be shown on one page you can navigate to the other pages with the pagination on the top right.
