On the Content tab of the Web Site Editor, you can add, edit, and delete Web site sections and their associated Web pages using the Web Site Content directory tree. After your site has been set-up for the first time using the Web Site Wizard, you may also add or edit a baseline section using the Add Baseline Section button. Also, you may also reorder and hide the content displayed on a Web site page using the Page Content tab.
Note: In order for the content sections and Web pages to show on your Web site, you will need to create the links for the navigation bar using the Navigation tab.
Some important items to observe about the Content tab:
-
When you add a custom section or page to the directory tree, you do not have to click the Save button on the content page. (However, if you add or edit the content area of the page, you must click the Save button.)
-
The sections in the directory tree are in alphabetical order. They are not in the order that they will appear on your Web site. That order is determined on the Navigation tab.
-
The Web Site Header and Web Site Footer that appear at the top of the directory tree are technically not sections. However, the content for both the header and footer can be modified from the Content tab.
-
Clicking the
next to a section name expands the directory tree list so that you
can see the Web pages in that section. -
Clicking the
button collapses the directory tree list so that you don't see the
Web pages in the section. -
Use the HTML Content tab to modify the simple text instructions on your page. Use the Page Content tab to reorder and even hide page sections. How to reorder and hide page sections is explained in detail on the Reordering and Hiding Web Site Page Sections help topic.
-
There are some standard Web pages (i.e., system pages) that cannot be deleted. Examples of system pages include the Change Password, Forgot Password, Login, Login Required, New Visitor Registration, and Verify Registration Status pages. You will recognize the system pages by the grayed out delete icons. You will not be able to change the name of the system page in the directory tree, however, you will be able to change the Page Title and edit the Page Content.
-
The Add Baseline Section button provides access to edit the baseline sections, such as My Events or My Committees, that are packaged with netFORUM Pro.

only customers with valid memberships will be able to view the content.
Custom pages can be deleted and will have a red delete icon next to the Web page name. If you accidentally delete a page, you will not be able to recover the data either through the Web Site Wizard or through Abila Support. You will have to recreate the page, as well as all of the content and links, that once existed within the deleted page.

Most all of the pages on your Web Site can be modified to fit your Association and customer needs; specifically in the areas of E-Commerce and My Transactions. Notice, for example, that in the image below several pages have been added to the Checkout page in the E-Commerce section and that they can now be edited. Checkout, Group Registration Pages, Shopping pages, and the ability to customize the Event Registration Wizard text have been added to E-Commerce for editing as well.
Additional customization pages have been added to the My Transactions section as well. The benefit of providing these additional options is that you can now customize all messages and instructions to your Customers on eWeb.
