Creating Content Quickly and Easily with the eZ Publish Website Interface
Tuesday 22 May 2007 1:00:00 am
The Website Interface integrates into the front-end of an eZ Publish website, and provides reduced content management complexity and increased ease-of-use compared to the Administration Interface.
The presence of the Website Toolbar and the links in the top right corner differentiate it from the public siteaccess.
The Website Toolbar is context sensitive, meaning that the buttons and options shown depend on the content currently displayed and the operations available under the given circumstances.
You are working in edit mode when you are viewing some content in the Content Editing Interface. This usually means that either the Edit or Create here button has been clicked on the Website Toolbar. When editing content, you can use the Online Editor to apply formatting characteristics to text.
The versioning feature makes it possible to have several versions of a content object. A draft contains content that has been saved but not yet published. You can store a draft from edit mode with or without exiting the Content Editing Interface. To view a list of your saved drafts and retrieve one for editing, you need to access the My drafts section of your user profile.
