Interactive Page Feature
Page Type: A Page's interactive features are determined by it's "Page Type".  Page Types turn simple web pages into data-driven pages like an order form page, custom form page, login page, my account page, shopping cart page, member directory, etc.

By linking Pages with different Page Types together, you can create customized website applications without any programming knowledge. Keep in mind that some Page Types are designed to be chained to other, specific Page Types.

Site Search Feature
Include in Site Search: Select this option to include this Page in the Search Results Page when the built-in Site Search feature is used.

Site Search is smart. Only search results from Pages that the searcher has access to view will be displayed in the results, so it is safe to enable this feature for Membership and Private Pages.

TIP: This is a good way to create site keywords that your Visitors can recall from your promotional materials and quickly find a Page on your site.

Home Page Feature
Home Page: Checking this box will make this Page rotate randomly with any other Page marked as a "Home Page" whenever a visitor enters the top level of your domain name (http://www.mydomain.com).

Search Engine Optimization

In addition to creating Search Engine-Friendly URLs to attract and promote Internet Search Engines, these properties create corresponding "meta tags" that help the major Internet search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, Bing, MSN, and others to find your Pages more easily and promote them in their results. This leads to more traffic to your Website.

These optional values add text to the Visitor's browser title bar and search engine meta tags to the Page when it is displayed.

The Title and Description fields are also used by the Site Search feature and displayed on Search Results Page.

The Title is used as the e-mail Subject field when the auto-responder feature is used to send the Page after an action has occurred.
Web Browser Title: Page Title. This is what is displayed at the top of the Visitor's browser window when they access this Page.

NOTE: If you leave this field blank, the website defaults found in Site Settings will be used.
Web Browser Description: This is the short description of the Page. This is what you typically see in the Search Engine results on the major search engines.

NOTE: If you leave this field blank, the website defaults found in Site Settings will be used.
Web Browser Keywords: Enter the keywords that will be found in the content of this Page. The search engines will attempt to match these keywords with their visitor's searches. Separate each keyword with a comma.

If you leave this field blank, the website defaults found in Site Settings will be used.

NOTE: If "Include in Site Search" is enabled, then these keywords will be added to all Tag Clouds, and these keywords will be searched along with the Page Region content of this Page in the Site Search.

Comments Feature

The Comments feature adds online community-building functionality to any Page on your site. Comments allow Visitors and Users to interact with your site. If Comments are enabled for a Page, then anyone who can view a Page can leave a Comment (and therefore become a Contributor), and read any published Comments from other Contributors. Comments can be automatically published, or the Page's Moderator (a User with edit rights to the Page), can be alerted via e-mail to new Comments with a link to instantly edit, delete or publish the Comment.

NOTE: Comments are tied directly to a Page. However, some Pages, depending on their Page Type, display dynamic items, so their Comments are tied to both the Page and the dynamic item. This is transparent to the Visitors, but worth mentioning as you are deciding which Pages you should enable Comments for. Pages with the following Page Types display dynamic items: Catalog, Catalog Detail, Form Item View, and Calendar Event View.

NOTE: If CAPTCHA is enabled in the Site Settings and if a visitor is not logged in and the Page has either a Public or Guest Access Control Type, then a Captcha field will automatically be outputted in the Add Comment area of the Page. The Captcha field is a randomly generated question that must be answered before the Comment can be added. This is to protect the Comments feature from being spammed.

IMPORTANT: To display comments, the <system></system> tag must appear in the Page Style assigned to the Page. The Site Designer can add this tag if necessary.

Enable Comments: Selecting this box will allow Contributors to add Comments to the Page. Comments are disabled by default.
Allow New Comments: Check this box to allow Visitors to add new comments. When the box is unchecked, the add Comment form and Watcher area no longer appear, however the list of Comments is still shown.

An "Allow New Comments" or "Do Not Allow New Comments" button is also displayed near the add Comment form, which allows you to control this same setting. If this is a Page that displays dynamic items (e.g. Form Item View), then the Allow/Do Not Allow new Comments button only applies to the current dynamic item that you are viewing. For example, when using this feature on a Form Item View you are only allowing or not allowing new Comments for that specific Submitted Form. For Pages that show dynamic items, this checkbox will only be used as the default setting for all dynamic items.
Do Not Allow New Comments Message: This is the message that will appear to Visitors if new Comments are no longer allowed. You may leave this field blank if you do not want a message to appear.
Automatically Publish Comments: Check this box to automatically publish Comments instantly as soon as they are added by Contributors. Leave this box unselected if you would like the Comment to be unpublished until the Moderator has approved it.
Allow User to Hide Name: Check this box to allow Users to choose if they want to show their username or not next to their Comment. If this setting is unchecked, then the username will always be displayed next to the comment.

This setting does not apply to Visitors who are not logged in and does not apply to Users who have edit rights to this Page. These types of Visitors and Users are allowed to enter a name or remain anonymous.
Require Login to Comment: Check this box to require that Visitors login or register before they add a Comment.
E-mail moderator when a comment is added: Select this box to send an e-mail notification to the Page's Moderator (below). The Moderator will then be able to edit, delete, or publish the Comment.

NOTE: Moderators must have edit rights to the Page.
To E-mail Address: Enter a valid e-mail address for the Moderator that will manage the Comments for this Page.
Subject: This is the subject line of the e-mail. A default subject will be used if the subject is blank.

TIP: For Custom Form Pages and Form Item View Pages, you may also include the name of any custom field in the associated Custom Form to create a dynamic subject that contains submitted form data. Example: You received a message from ^^name^^. You can also use the following format to include different content depending on whether there is a value for a custom form field or not:

[[His name is ^^name^^||He did not include his name.]]

Also send e-mail to custom form conditional administrators:

This feature only applies to Form Item View Pages. Check this box if you want to use the same conditional e-mail notification of administrators to occur that were notified initially when this Page's Custom Form was submitted. Since some Custom Form fields can notify different administrators (or conditiional administrators), you may want the same adminitrators notified when new Comments are added.

TIP: This feature is useful when you want to set up a single Custom Form to manage requests for several internal groups. Each time a Comment (i.e. response) is added to the Custom Form Item View Page, only the proper group selected in original Submitted Form would be notified.

E-mail custom form submitter when a comment is published:

This feature only applies to Form Item View Pages. Whenever a Comment is published this will send the original Custom Form submitter a notification e-mail informing him/her that a new Comment has been published to his/her Submitted Form. In order for this feature to work, there must be a field on the Custom Form where the Connect to Contact property is set to E-mail Address. That allows this feature to figure out the Custom Form submitter's e-mail address.

TIP: This feature is useful for a support ticket system where the person who originally submitted the ticket (i.e. submitted form) needs to be notified when someone replies to their ticket (i.e. adds a Comment).

NOTE: The "From" address for this e-mail notification will be set to the From E-mail Address page type property for the Custom Form. If that field has no value, then the Support E-mail Address from the Site Settings will be used.

Page: This is the page that will be sent to the Custom Form Submitter.

NOTE: This feature requires that a <system></system> tag appear in the Page Style for the selected Page. The Site Designer can add the tag if necessary.
Subject: This is the subject line of the e-mail.

TIP: You may also include the name of any custom field in the associated Custom Form to create a dynamic subject that contains submitted form data. Example: You received a message from ^^name^^. You can also use the following format to include different content depending on whether there is a value for a custom form field or not:

[[His name is ^^name^^||He did not include his name.]]

E-mail watchers when a comment is published:

When an e-mail Page is selected below, Users will be allowed to add themselves to the Watch List for this Page, so that they will be notified via e-mail when a Comment is published. This feature allows Watchers to easily track conversations for certain pages. A Visitor must be logged in as a User in order to add/remove him/herself to/from the Watch List. The User can add/remove him/herself below the add Comment form, at the bottom of the Page.

NOTE: The "From" address for this e-mail notification will be set to the Support E-mail Address from the Site Settings.

Page: This is the page that will be sent to the Watchers.

NOTE: This feature requires that a <system></system> tag appear in the Page Style for the selected Page. The Site Designer can add the tag if necessary.
Subject: This is the subject line of the e-mail.

TIP: For Form Item View Pages, you may also include the name of any custom field in the associated Custom Form to create a dynamic subject that contains submitted form data. Example: ^^subject^^: A comment has been added. You can also use the following format to include different content depending on whether there is a value for a custom form field or not:

[[Subject is ^^subject^^||There is no subject]]

Deleting a Page

When a Page is deleted, a warning message is displayed, and if "Continue" is selected, the Page, its Page Region content, and all of its Comments will be deleted from the system's database.

TIP: If you might want to archive the Page Region content, we recommend that you place the Page in a Private Folder (so no one can view or edit it) instead of deleting it.

NOTE: When a Page is deleted, only the Page Regions and Comments are deleted. Any Common Regions, Page Style, Page Type, etc., are NOT deleted.  The Page, its Page Regions, and its Comments are gone!

NOTE: The delete button only appears for Users that have access to delete Pages.

WARNING: Be careful because there is no undelete!
