Managing Content
Can I change the format of the Home Page?
Yes, and it is very easy to do. The formatting of the Home Page -- the number of columns, the number of articles, etc. -- is controlled by the Parameters tab found on the Main Menu Item "Home". Go To: MENU>MAINMENU and select HOME. In the right column you will see the Parameters...What's the difference between a Section and a Category?
A Category is a subset of a Section. Content Items belong to Categories; Categories belong to Sections. The only exception to this hierarchy is Static Content, which exists outside of the Sections > Categories structure.Why can't I delete a Section / Category?
A Category must be empty of all Content Items before it can be deleted. A Section must be empty of all Categories before it can be deleted. Remember, in MiaCMS, when you delete an item, it moves to the Trash Manager. To delete it permanently, you must go to the Trash Manager and delete the items a second time; only then can you delete the related Category / Section.Do I have to keep the sample content?
No. The sample content appears because it was selected as an option during the installation process. The information contained in the site is intended to assist new users in learning the system and to help them get started using MiaCMS immediately. We have inserted the content using a variety of formats and options to help users get some idea of the choices available to them. You may delete any of this content without causing any problems to the site installation.What is Static Content?
Static Content is simply a content item which is not part of a Section or a Category. Static Content cannot be added to a Blog, a Section or a Category. Static Content is, in other words, an independent, stand alone page. Static Content pages can be created, edited and deleted in the Static Content Manager. In the sample content you have installed with MiaCMS, the Main Menu choice "The MiaCMS License" shows an example of a Static Content page.FrequentlyAskedQuestions
