Content Page

When you have added a new region there will be a button called new under the type column of the contents main page. If you click the new button it will take you to a page where you can set the contents type. The different types are Text, Text Box, PHP Code and Image.

Text is just a simple one line of text with no html.

Text Box is a textarea with a WYSIWYG editor which includes full html.

PHP Code is a textarea which lets you enter PHP code to be evaluated on your website.

Image lets you choose a file to upload to a folder within smallCMS and lets you define attributes like height and width for it.

Once you select which type of content you want it brings you to the edit page for the regions you are editing so you can add content straight away.

Users Page

This page displays all the users you have set up to log into smallCMS and allows you to edit, edit and add users.

To add a user you just click Add User in the users sub menu. To edit or delete a user there are buttons under the action column when viewing all users.

smallCMS also logs each and every login attempt whether successful or not. To view the session logs you can click Login Sessions in the users sub menu.

Stats Page

Any page that you have included the smallCMS.php page into will generate statistics. When a user views one of your pages smallCMS will collect the users IP, the referrer page if there was one, the time the page was viewed, the users browser and the page.

You can view your websites unique and overall hits as a graph with smallCMS by click the Graphs sub menu link under Stats then choosing a start date and a length of a time and then clicking unique or overall.

Settings Page

The main settings page allows you to set the title, keywords and description of your website through the smallCMS_site() functions. You also have the option to add the current pages friendly name (explained below) to the end of the title, keywords and description for better SEO.

smallCMS can backup the databases required for smallCMS to a text file. You can then restore your database from that textfile by clicking a button on the page.

Every page on your website that smallCMS has found will be added to the database and you will be able to give them friendly name e.g. index.php could be home and news.php could be news.
