Site structure and categories
The site structure controls all the categories, sub-categories and lists on your site.
To access the site structure go to Administration > Pages > Structure of the pages (categories).
Pages are organized inside "categories", one page belongs to one category.
There's no limit for the number of categories, only limitation is that the category "code" must be unique.
Note that the administration panel won't correct you if you create 2 categories with the same code, but you'll get random results, so be careful about this. The category system is the backbone of the structure for your website, so design it with caution !
Creating new pages
To create a new page you can either add page.php?m=add to your browsers url or by clicking on the Submit A New Entry link while viewing lists. You can additionally set the category automatically by adding page.php?m=add&c=yourcategory to your browsers url.
Once on the new page submission form you will need to fill in the basic page information such as Title, Description, etc.
There are some additional options you can set within your page :
Once the page is submitted, it's placed in a validation queue, and administrators can edit and validate so it becomes viewable for all.
You can also directly display a page with the URL : page?php?id=*
Where * is the page number, that's an integer starting from 1, and increasing by 1 for each new page.
Validation queues
The validation queue act as a "live" editing area, all newly created pages are placed in the queue until a user with sufficient rights has validated them. You can access the validation queues by clicking the Administration link. On the Admin homepage you will see Waiting for validation : with the count of pages in the queue.
Pages can be placed in the validation queue at any time by clicking the link Put In Validation Queue wich appears on all pages.
System pages
System Pages are pages which will not appear within the normal site navigation, they act as "Stand-Alone" pages exempt from any category. To create a new system page, first create a new category and set 'system' as code.

- Code
That's an unique alphanumerical code for the category.
Make it short, simple and clear, it will appear in a lot of links. And avoid spaces and special chars. - Path
This setting controls the order of the categories.
This path is a simple and efficient way to manage your categories, it's a hierachical system.
A path code is made of alphanumerical values separated by "." (dots).
As sample the master category is Files and have a path set to "3".
Seditio will "guess" that a category with a path starting by "3" do belong to the category Files. And so on with the nested level, we could have a level path-ed : 3.1.3.4.7
Note that the paths are sorted by alphanumerical order, so if you have more than 10 categories in a level, it's better to number with a leading 0 (zero), else the order will be wrong : 3.01.11.04 The path field will also accept letters, or a mix of letters and number : year2003.month01.day14 - Group

There are some additional options you can set within your page :
- Alias
The alias function is useful if you don't want to access your page using an ID, give it a more memorable name.
Users can then browse to the page using the alias instead of the ID, eg: page.php?al=youralias
Begin/Expire
[...]- Parsing
This option is available when you edit the page, it's not displayed in addition mode for security reasons. You can change the way that the input is handled by changing the parsing mode, Seditio supports 3 types of parsing : - Standard
The default mode, works in a similar way to Notepad, BBcodes and smilies can be optionally parsed. You can enable/disable parsing by changing the settings in: Administration panel > Configuration > Pages > ... - HTML
This mode will handle HTML code, including tables, HTML tags, BRs, etc but does not parse the smilies or BBcodes. - PHP
This mode will execute the PHP code in the body of the page.
You must remove the PHP tags >?PHP and ?< at the beginning and the end of the PHP code. This special parsing mode is not recommended for beginners, for some obvious security reasons. For the same reasons this mode isn't available when the contributor submits the page.
An administrator will have to enable it afterward, once the PHP code is checked and safe.
Once the page is submitted, it's placed in a validation queue, and administrators can edit and validate so it becomes viewable for all.
You can also directly display a page with the URL : page?php?id=*
Where * is the page number, that's an integer starting from 1, and increasing by 1 for each new page.
Validation queues
The validation queue act as a "live" editing area, all newly created pages are placed in the queue until a user with sufficient rights has validated them. You can access the validation queues by clicking the Administration link. On the Admin homepage you will see Waiting for validation : with the count of pages in the queue.
Pages can be placed in the validation queue at any time by clicking the link Put In Validation Queue wich appears on all pages.
