Guia Rapida de Administración

Creando un canal nuevo

Regístrese en ActionApps y haga clic en la liga AA al tope de la patalla para entrar en el panel de control de administación. Archivo:Demo.jpg Llenando el formulario pare crear un canal nuevo

Clic en la liga Crear nuevo para crear un canal. (demo) Selecciones un canal desde el menu de canales, desde el cual le gustaria basar su nuevo canal,y haga clic en Agregar.

Llene el fomulario Agregar Canal y haga clic en Insertar abajo para crear el canal.

Configurando un canal en la base de datos

Inicie en el panel de control de Administracion con las opciones del canal. Aqui es donde puede crear y configurar los campos de este canal de la base de datos. El acceso a los campos se obtiene bajo el encabezado Propiedades Generales en la barra de menu del lado izquierdo. La pantalla campos lista los campos que vienen como parte de la plantilla del canal. Ud puede modificar o eliminar los campos ya existentes, y crear campos nuevos.

Los campos existentes contienen una Identificacion y numero de prioridad. La identificacion se deriva del tipo de dato que será almacenado en el campo. El numero de prioridad determina el orden de lista de los campos.

Creando un campo nuevo

Los pasos para crear un campo nuevo son los siguientes: The steps to creating a new field are as follows: Escriba el numbre del campo en la casilla en blanco, al final de la pantalla. Escoja un tipo de dato apropiado del menu. Asigne un numero de prioridad que refleje el lugar donde el campo nuevo debe posicionarse en la lista. Haga clic en el boton Actualizar.

Editando un campo

Cada campo recien creado debe ser configurado para su uso futuro en el proceso de publicacion en web. Haga clic en la liga 'editar' proxima al campo que desee configurar, para entrar al panel de Configuracion de Campos. Esta pantalla le da la oportunidad de ajustar las opciones que afectarán la manera en que los datos se capturan en ese campo, y el aspecto que esos datos tendran en la pagina web.

(demo) En la primera parte... (demo) Escoja el tipo de celda de captura, para entrar informacion en el Campo

Elija que informacion debe ser considerada por omision en este Campo

Use esta seccion si ud. desea que la informacion sea validada de alguna manera en particular.

Identifique que tipo de informacion se esta capturando y como debe ser almacenada en la base de datos.

Escriba algun texto que puede servir como guia al autor de la informacion.

En la segunda parte... (demo) Usamos aliases cuando trabajamos en la adaptacion del aspecto de los datos en la pagina web. Cada alias tiene asociada una funcion que determina la manera en que los datos seran procesados. Los nombres de los aliases deben:

• iniciar con _#
• en mayusculas
• tener una longitud de 10 caracteres.

Any pre-defined fields, which come as part of the basic slice template, that you wish to keep, are configured with usable settings, including an alias. It is unlikely that you will want to adjust them. However you will need to go through this Configure Fields control panel very carefully for any new fields you create. After making your changes, click on the Update button to save your work.

Having configured each of your fields, you need to return to the full list of fields:

• Adjust the Priority numbers so that the list is ordered appropriately.
• Check the Required tick-box to insist that data is added to that field in every record. This means the database will reject the record unless the field is filled.
• Check the Shown tick-box if you want the input form to show this field. If it is not ticked, the author will not be aware of adding data to this field. The data may get automatically generated - e.g. with today’s date.

To save your changes, click on the Update button at the bottom of the screen.

Creando la pagina web para incluir contenido - La pagina shtml

The page that content is driven to on your website is rather like a picture frame. It is a page with static elements around the edge of a space that the data can be published into. Those static elements may include items such as:

• A menu bar
• A logo
• Contact details
• Border designs

This page is a template and is made ready for use for ActionApps-generated content, by adding in the crucial slice code. This must be pasted into the part of the page where you want the dynamically generated content to appear. This code appears on the Admin – Slice Settings control Panel. Each slice has its own unique slice code. (demo) The template page can now be saved for use with ActionApps by giving it a .shtml file extension. It must then be ftp-ed to an appropriate place on the web server. Your systems administrator will provide these details. With this information you can now enter the full URL of your shtml page in the box on the Admin – Slice Settings control Panel.

Ajustando el aspecto del contenido en el sitio web

When the template .shtml page is in place on the server, you can begin setting the rules for formatting the way that the data is published on the shtml page. Data can be published on the shtml page as

• An Index view: a list of content items (documents)
• A Fulltext View: a single complete item (document)

You will need to set formatting rules for both views. Each item listed in the Index View acts as a link to its fulltext version The Index View Control Panel provides the space for you to compose the html coding which will format the data that appears in the list of content items.

Diseñando la vista de Indice

Access to the Index View is given under the Design heading in the left-hand menu-bar of the Admin Control Panels

The Index View screen is a control panel for you to set the html coding for the section of the template (shtml) page, which you designated for database content to appear in. The coding you enter will be used to publish data in a list format. The control panel requires you to divide your coding into the following sections:

• Top HTML
• Even Rows
• Odd Rows
• Bottom HTML

Each content item published in the list on the shtml page will be wrapped in the coding you provide for the odd rows. In addition the list itself will be wrapped in the coding you provide for the top and bottom html. It is only necessary to give coding for even rows, if you wish even and odd rows to alternate with different formatting such as colour.

In the first section of the Index View Control Panel: The html coding used in this example shows how the data in the headline field should be formatted in each row. The headline itself is represented by the field’s alias: _#HEADLINE. Tick this box if you want to apply different formatting to alternate rows of your list of content items (demo) In the second section of the Index View Control Panel: If you have configured any of your fields as a list of category constants, then you can use them to subdivide your list of content items.

Use the remaining boxes to code the formatting of the headings.

In the final section of the Design Index view control panel, there is a reference list of all the fields with their aliases, contained within the slice you are working on. These can be copied and pasted into the relevant sections of the control panel and you develop your Index View. Save your work by clicking on the Update button at the top or bottom of the control panel.

Designing the Fulltext View

The Fulltext View control panel allows you to code the formatting of content published as a single, complete document. Visitors to the web site will see content in this format when they click on an item's headline in the Index View. Work on this view follows the same pattern as with the Index View. (demo) Use the reference list of aliases at the bottom of the screen to select the fields which you wish to format in the fulltext view. Click on the Update button to save your work.

Usando las vistas para crear formatos diversos de presentacion de contenido

Apart from the Index and Fulltext views, there is often a need for additional ways of organising content on the web page. (demo) Each view is editable – simply click on the edit link. This takes you through to a control panel, very similar to the Index view control panel. Use the control panel to set the rules for how data in this view will be:

• Sorted
• Grouped
• Selected

To save your work, click on the Update button at the bottom of the screen. Once you have created the necessary Views for your content, you need to identify the part of your shtml web page, where you want the view to display data. You may have more than 1 view on the same page.

In the case of the [example] we have two different views displayed on the same page: view [x] on the left of the page generating the site introduction, followed by view [y] generating the latest 10 news headlines. The shtml page framing this data (index.shtml) contains the instruction to include these views by including the View Ids. A view ID always looks like this
