Creating New Content

Page Content

Depending on your user level and/or any restrictions an administrator has set, you may not be able to create every type of content described in this section.

Making a New Page

To make a new page:

1. Navigate to the Pages list view by selecting Content > Pages from the Main menu.

2. Click the +New button.

   

3. The New Content box will appear, showing you the list of templates you can choose from to make a new page. Depending on your permissions and where you are in the site, you may see different templates than the ones shown here.

   

4. The New Page box will appear. Fill out fields such as the title of the page, a description, the file name (which should reflect the page title), and other configuration options.

5. Click Create to create your new page.

6. You will be taken directly to edit mode of the page. Once you are finished editing it, publish the page for it to go live on the website.

When adding a new page to a directory, you will also want to edit the navigation file for that directory to make sure it鈥檚 properly linked to on the website. For more instructions on editing navigation files, see the Navigation Files section.

Uploading Files

You can upload files either from Pages list view or while you鈥檙e browsing for a file, such as when inserting a link or an image. Omni CMS supports uploading text files, images, audio and video media, PDFs, and many more types of files.

To upload from Pages list view:

1. Navigate to the directory where the files should be uploaded. You should navigate to your site's folder if not already there. There should be both _images and _files folders for images or a PDF.

   

2. Drag files from your desktop or a file browser into the Pages list view. See location guides where you drop the files.

3. Alternatively, click the Upload button at the top of the screen.

   

4. In the Upload box, select the upload type, the access group for the files, and whether they should overwrite any files with the same name in this location.

5. Click the +Add button to browse for files on your computer or drag files into the box.

   

   • Files you鈥檝e uploaded may not fit the naming convention enforced for your website. To rename a file, click the More Actions menu and select Rename. Once you鈥檝e typed in a name, click away from the filename field to save the changes. You can also remove a file from the upload queue.

   

6. Click Start Upload to upload the files to the directory.

Publish your files to make them visible on the live website and to add them to pages.

To upload files from a file chooser:

1. Open an editable region on a page.

   

2. Click the Insert/Edit image, Insert/Edit Media, or Insert/Edit Link button in the WYSIWYG toolbar.

3. Click the file chooser button by the Source/URL field.

4. Navigate to the directory where you want to upload the file and click the Upload button in the top-right of the box.

   

5. In the Upload box, select the upload type, the access group for the files, and whether they should overwrite any files with the same name in this location.

6. Click the +Add button to browse for files on your computer or drag files into the box.

   

   • Files you鈥檝e uploaded may not fit the naming convention enforced for your website. To rename a file, click the More Actions menu and select Rename. Once you鈥檝e typed in a name, click away from the filename field to save the changes. You can also remove a file from the upload queue.

7. Click Start Upload.

8. The files are now uploaded into the directory and can be inserted on the page.

The newly uploaded files must be published before they can appear on the live website. However, this can be done when publishing the page if you鈥檝e inserted or linked to the newly uploaded files. Just make sure the Include Unpublished Dependencies box is checked when you publish the page.

Here is a video of that process.
