Miscellaneous functions
There are a range of other important page functions which
do not fit under a particular heading. These are
explained below:
View HTML source
|
Source - Switch the editor between Design and source code modes
Shows the source code or HTML of the page for direct
editing, thus:
etc.
This is for advanced users only. It applies to
both templates and pages. If you are really unsure, take a copy
of the page first and try it there!
NB if you don't know what you re doing with
HTML, please do not touch this!
Important: Editing
the HTML directly must be your own responsibility. However, you
always have the option of re starting if you mess up a page but
you will lose the current work on that page!
To add html, such as an affiliate banner code or
JavaScript into the page, we suggest the following method.
1) Click on the advance checkbox at the top of the
admin panel and then click on the miscellaneous tab in the page
editor.
2) Place your cursor where you wish to add the code
and write xxxxx
3) Click on the source button to get the html source.
4) Click on the 
Find and replace button.
5) In the find window, write xxxxx and then click
on go. This will find and highlight the xxxxx in the code. You
now know that you will not break the html in the page, provided
you don't highlight more than the xxxxx (and the code you are
about to paste is not broken already!).
6) Click cancel on the find and replace. Now copy
the html and then paste it into the page at the point of the xxxxx,
making sure you have just this highlighted. It will be replaced.
7) Click on the source button again and the page
SHOULD turn back to a normal page. If it does not, we suggest
you click on the page list, cancel the error telling you that
you have not saved and come back to the page to try again without
having saved it. If you placed a banner or something else which
is obvious onto the page, it should show up at this stage. JavaScript
which has no effect on the page view will not show up until you
preview or publish the page.
8) If you are happy with what you have done, save
the page and then preview it.
NB
Simple JavaScript operations (counters / banners
etc.), usually get added straight into the page where you wish
them to show.
If you have some advanced JavaScript which needs
to be in the head of the page, this must be added within the template,
not in the page editor. The function, if it is to show on the
page and this is not part of the template, may need to be added
separately onto the page editor using points 1) - 8) above.
