About
Concrete5 is free/open source software for managing content on a web site. It can be compared to Weebly, although pages are generated dynamically rather than statically. {[seed}}
Notes
How to:
- center an image: two methods
- publish latest changes:
- click on pencil (top left)
- click on "Publish Page" button
- make a horizontal navigation (menu) bar:
- hover over the sitewide navigation area
- click on the drop-down description
- select "add block"
- in the palette that appears on the left, look under "navigation" and drag an "auto-nav" tool over to where you want it (I think... something like that)
- ...and then there was a semi-obvious tweak to get it to be horizontal rather than vertical, but I found it by poking around in the tool's settings
- add a blog to a site: this explains how, with some caveats:
- I had to create a sidebar-right template (I used the template icon which looks like it could have content on the left and a sidebar on the right)
- Under "Sets", there are now four types of Sets to which you can add; I chose "Collection" because that seemed closest to "Category".
- When adding the Topic, I checked off only "Field available in advanced search." because that seemed closest to "Field available in Dashboard Page Search".
- I also checked "[ ] Categories" because it wouldn't let me save without selecting a "Topic Default Parent Node", and that was the only one listed.
- Modifying the default output settings didn't go as advertised. I had to create a new page to get the block palette to appear... but that doesn't seem to feed back into the output settings. Stuck here for now; further research needed.
