First screen shows Content Tab selected. This tab has documents which are not often changing: Website sections, Resources and Restaurant information. While editing Restaurants, editor can choose one or more cuisines and dining features like reservation or food delivery for each restaurant. Website sections reflect the structure of Maui Magazine, it is represented by a tree like Windows Explorer represents PC's file system. Site administrator can drag and drop tree nodes and right click to use context menu, allowing instant jumping for example on editing website section.
When one of the sections is selected, you may see the section's properties like Title, link to Parent Section, search engines Meta Information etc. Table with related Stories is placed below, using this table, administrator can easily hide stories from homepage or completely disable them - just with one mouse click on checkboxes (highlighted on the screenshot below). Right click to stories also shows context menu with more options for every story.
Clicking on a Story title administrator jumps to Story Browser. The screen is similar to Section Browser we have seen previously. All Story properties are shown. To edit properties, admin should switch to Editor Mode, clicking a tab at the bottom of the screen. Story HTML editor appears after click on “Edit Text” button. All documents related to a selected story are available below: Story comments, Pictures, Ratings.
Next screenshot shows Story properties editor. Note that all fields are shown with appropriate editor controls: Sections and Issue to where this story belongs with drop-down menus, Story date with popup calendar control, publishing flags with checkboxes. Every change can be undone using toolbar UNDO button. There are also more buttons available on toolbar: Duplicate document, Delete it, Compose new or Preview current on the website.
If administrator needs to attach a new picture to a story, he or she simply clicks Attach Picture button on a Story Browser screen. There is an image library available that we call Resource Manager. Here you can do all actions necessary like uploading new files, creating and renaming folders, renaming or deleting files.
After new picture is selected for a Story, administrator can manage it, modifying Picture description, priority or even select photo to participate in Photo of the Day contest (this photo may be selected to be shown on website homepage during the whole day, randomly or by readers vote).
But not every magazine editor should have the same permissions to edit each story or section on the website, right? This is solved by Security Manager, allowing restricting permissions for every CMS user or group of users to Browse, Edit or Delete every document on the website. Once created, security rules could be applied from one document to many others.
Among other features: banners and polls management, magazine subscribers management that shows all current subscribers, allows to make report on subscribers whose subscription is about to expire and helps administrator to notify them by email about it. Administrator can customize CMS interface and settings as he or she prefers.
For high level CMS users (we call them developers) there are Database Management Tab available, allowing to define database tables, fields, arrange database documents between CMS tabs and much more.
