Websites

Websites are documents in which you can publish webpages and contextual links. To make it even easier to display your documents, they have a specific presentation, rendered using Nuxeo WebEngine.

×

The creation of a website takes place in workspaces, in the regular Document Management interface. Content creation, edition and commenting will preferably take place in Nuxeo WebEngine interface. Website management will however take place in the Document Management interface, which is considered as the website's back-office.

Websites are accessible by a URL formed like http://server:8080/nuxeo/site/sites/site-name. Click on the icon to open the front office view of the website.

Adding Content to a Website

In a website, you can create pages and contextual links.

Webpages can be created at the root of a website or in another page. You can create pages from the Document Management interface (which would be considered as the back-office of the website) or from the website interface.

3. Click on the button Save. The page is created and displayed.

Adding a Contextual Link

Contextual links are links that are displayed from a webpage, in the right column of the website. Contextual links can only be created from the website's back-office, at the root of the application.

To create a contextual link:

1. On the Content tab of the website from the back-office interface, click on the New button.
2. On the modal window displayed, click on Contextual link.

   • Link: type the URL of the link.
4. Click on the button Create. The link is created and its Summary tab is displayed. In the website interface, the link is displayed in the right column.

Managing the Access to the Website

In a website, access rights can be managed on the website itself and on the webpages. The steps to grant or refuse access rights are the same as on a workspace or a folder (see Managing Access Rights).

However, websites have specific access rights:

• Comment
• Moderate

In a website, users with "Read" write cannot comment on pages unless they are explicitly give the right to comment. If beforehand moderation is applied to the website, then users with "moderate" rights will have to approve comments so that they can be viewed by other users.
