Creating a Folder
Everything in the site is stored in folders. You can nest folders to create any structure you want to organize content.
- Add the folder
Here we'll add a folder inside the my folder. You can add a folder to any folder you have priviledge to add new items.
Select Folder from the Add new item menu to add it.
- Name the folder
Once you have added the folder you should give it a short name and a title. Short names should be one word and lower case. They are used in the URL path to the document/folder/item on the site. The title will be displayed prominently in the site so capitolize it appropriately. You can always change it.
- Add content
Now you can add items to your folder, including other folders. Select an item to add from the Add new item menu. See add a document for an example.
- Folder display
By default when you browse to a folder, a folder shows a view that lists the titles of each item it contains plus the description of each item.
If you want to show a document with structured text or HTML that contains links and other text you do the following (I'll make this into a separate help doc later):
- Create a new document
- Make the short name of the new document equal to index_html -- This is the magic short name that tells the system to show the document instead of the default folder display when "viewing" a folder. Any folder can have an index_html document for this purpose.
- Enter a title and content for your index_html document.
