Content creation provides the user with the framework to publish blogs, strories, pages etc. Each screen is specific to the function selected, so the screen presented for blog creation will vary slightly from that for creating workgroups, stories or pages. Whatever function is selected, the page is presented in three sections, header, body and footer. This topic describes how dbFM can be used with an example of creating 'Page' content:
The body section of the Create Content page is reproduced below, it uses simple word processor options similar to those found in e-mail clients to provide an authoring environment. We're showing the 'Tiny' editor with which dbFM can be integrated. You might also decide to disable the Rich-Text Editor by pressing the 'disable rich-text' link - you can still use dbFM by pressing the filemanager icon under the textbox.
dbFM adds the cabinet icon, to the editor tool-bar and below the authoring area. Its
primary function is to enable the user to select files from the file manager
(illustrated below) to link, embed or attach to a publication.
The image above shows the context menu generated by
right clicking on an image file.
Right-clicking on any file, revision or
directory displays a Context Menu (the options on that menu will vary according to what has been selected).
Linking and embedding files obviously creates a link or embeds a picture, as shown.
When you attach a file or files (or revisions) to a node the files chosen appear in the node footer:
The files can be re-ordered simply by clicking on them and holding down your mouse button while you drag the file to its appropriate position. The finished 'content', when viewed, might look something like this:
