Edit Web Pages

Ok first off you see this

To make a test page or any other page then click on WebPage

First you need to give your page a name for example welcome.html do not forget the Page Type must be one of .html, .css, .txt, .xml or .js

Now you must chose how it will look portal forum , default etc again click on the for detailed help.

Visible = if clicked this will leave a link to this page on your links menu or navbar




Make when you paste any code in that area the source button is coloured blue.

When the source button is not blue it is the wysiwyg screen (what you see is what you get)

Once you have pasted your code then click the source button again to see what it will look like.

If you do not have any code then use the wysiwyg screen and you can you the editor to help you.

Once you have done and are happy then save

you will find your page at your forums url plus the name of your WebPage for example we called this one welcome.html so the url would be www.myforum.myfreeforum.org/welcome.html (dont click as it is a made up url)

Upload/Manage Files

To put this as basic as i can this area is the area that you upload any images to but you must upload them to the correct folder.



So if you were to replace the logo image of your template or any image on your template then you need to click the web template now find your template in the drop down bar, now select the correct folder example like in picture is images.

What ever files or images are all ready in that folder will appear in the list like in the image.

You can use the upload picture feature to add these files or images,
