Basic DaliCMS Concepts

• DaliCMS template: a jsp file that contains the layout of (a part of) your website (html, style sheet, images). A dalicms website can contain more templates. (one for each ‘type’ of page) A dalicms template does not contain content. The details of DaliCMS templates can be found in the Admin Pages.

• Page: A page in dalicms admin is a collection of the page content and some properties like the template. Pages belong to a category and can contain subpages. More properties can be found in the Admin Pages.

• Subpage: A subpage is also a page, but it belongs to a parent page.

• Category: Pages and news in DaliCMS are grouped in categories.

• News: News items are like DaliCMS pages. They can be grouped in categories, but they can’t contain subpages.

• TinyMCE editor: a wysiwyg editor that is used to maintain the content on your website. Dalicms contains several custom plugins that allow easy integration of several modules on your page. See the Admin Pages for more information.

• Publication: The process of approving content and making it available on your website

• Page versioning: Every time a page is “published” on your website, a new version is created. Using the version management tool, these versions can be viewed and restored.

• Navigation status: The navigation status indicated whether a page is shown in the site’s menu structure or not. It can also define at which position in the menu the page is shown.

• Export: The process of creating the static html pages for the static website. This is needed when making large changes such as changing the menu structure or changing the layout of a template. More information in the Admin Pages.
