Creating New Pages

There are several methods that can be used to create a file using TMS. The basic method for creating a page involves setting up a link to a page and then creating the page at the URL specified in the link. The steps involved in the process to create a file using TMS are:

1. Create the link to the new page
   
   
   1. Link in main content
      Go to the page that is to link to the new page, highlight the text that is to form the link and click on the link icon. Then enter a URL for the new page, e.g. for a file called policy_list.html in the site/policies/ folder the URL would be /site/policies/policy_list.html and click the Insert button to save
      
      Link in navigation menu
      In the nav.html file which displays your menu sections, highlight the text that is to form the link to the new page and click on the link icon. Then enter a URL for the new page, e.g. for a file called policy_list.html in the site/policies/ folder the URL would be /site/policies/policy_list.html and click the Insert button to save
   2. Preview and save changes.
2. Go to the URL for the new page
   
   
   1. Click on the link to the new page
   2. An error page will be displayed stating that the page doesn't exist and the options box will contain a create link
3. Create the new page
   
   
   1. Click the create link and the page will be created allowing content to be edited
   2. Enter the content for the new page
   3. Preview and Save the new page

Copy a Page

In some instances it is possible to create a copy of an existing page. This is only available for pages that aren't index.html pages. For .html pages that aren't index pages, the options box will contain a copy link.

When the copy link is clicked, you will be asked to provide a filename for the new file. This new filename MUST end in .html for the new page to operate correctly. Enter the new name, with the .html extension and click the save button. The page will then be created with the content already pre-filled to that of the copied page.

To create a page with the same format as an index.html page, first follow the process outlined above to create a new page. Then open the page that you want to copy in editing mode and copy the content from that page. Then open your newly created page in editing mode and paste in the copied content. This content can then be edited as needed for the new page.
