*** post-facto update: I looked at the "Elemental" theme, clicked the "Templates" button on the same row, and got to a page which listed some stuff the theme needed to do, with a button at the bottom right which would do it. After clicking that button, new templates appeared including "Left Sidebar" and "Right Sidebar".

** 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.

*** [https://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/cant-edit-page-type-defaults The solution here] worked, indirectly -- I gave "task permissions" to the admins group, and then the edit icon appeared, but only for Admin... and it keeps going away... but just re-saving the task permissions page seems to fix it long enough to get into edit mode. ([https://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/only-superuser-can-edit-page-template-output/ This post from March, 2017] is closer to what I'm experiencing; no solutions offered as of 2017-05-10.)

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.

This page is a seed article. You can help HTYP water it: make a request to expand a given page and/or donate to help give us more writing-hours!

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, but I had difficulties.
