Overview of the Main Window
The main window of Zeta Producer is similar to that of
Windows Explorer:
- The left part of the main window contains the page structure
view. All pages of your website are listed here. Every element in
the page structure view corresponds to one HTML page of your
website.
- The right part of the main window contains the integrated
preview and the area view. In the area view the areas and articles
are displayed. An area corresponds to a visually separated part of
a web page (e.g. a box with news on the right part of a web page).
Areas group articles. Articles are units (“paragraphs”) containing
the actual information (text and images).
Important Website Settings
The following settings are important for a proper functioning of
your website.
Homepage:
For displaying your website on the webserver, it is important
that the file name of your homepage coincides with what is
designated for it by your webserver. In most cases this is
"index.html".
How to declare the file name of a page:
- Select the favoured page from the page stucture view.
- Go to menu "Edit" and select "Properties".
- Choose the tab "Folders".
- Insert the according name (without extension) in field "File
name" and click "OK".
WWW-Adress:
Set the adress of your website (e.g.
http://www.my-adress.com) in the settings of your web project
(menu "Website").
In the layouts provided the logo is linked by default with this
adress. This adress is also used for processing forms (additional
modul Forms Designer) and has to be inserted correctly (otherwise
the message "Page not found" is displayed when sending off a
form).
