Make it easy on yourself
Some useful tips when using SwissCMS
- Right-clicking the top menu will often give extra quick options.
- Back-up your database whenever you embark on a new edit
- The MP3 player will stream any MP3 from the internet - not just local ones.
- Likewise, the video player will play any video (flv) on the internet
- Editing the CSS (in the style.php file) can drastically change the look and feel of your whole website.
- Hit the 'Source' button to add more complex html and javascript
- Try and keep page title less than 35 characters - more than this and they'll be cut off in the page title Flash object.
- Use the Online Image Editor to create custom header images
- The order of the front page ticker is based on when a page was last updated (saved). The most recently saved pages will appear first.
- News sub-pages are always displayed in reverse chronological order - and are also based on when they were last added, saved or updated.
- To allow for infinite flexibility, newly created pages do not have a page order attached to them. As a result, you always need to manually set the page order after creating a page - this way you can place it anywhere within a sub-page (child page) list.
