Using fCMS

In order to use the fCMS you must first have set up the backend and then the frontend.

Logging in

1. Ensure that you are viewing the page containing the editable text and/or images. You will see the loading animation centered in the textfield for a moment. This appears while the fCMS connects with the server. Type blindly admin. A login dialog should appear (you may change the hidden access word by setting the KeySequence property inside the CMSMaster properties).

2. Enter your username and password. The default username and password is admin. You may have changed this when setting up the backend.

3. After logging in you should see a toolbar with 4 buttons to the right of the toolbar. There are tooltips explaining each of these buttons. All of the editable textfields and images are indicated by a blue border (the color of this border is editable in the CMSMaster properties).

Editing a textfield

1. Click on an editable textfield to load the editing module for that textfield. Simply edit the content of your textfield using the tools provided. You may also press the save button in the top right of the toolbar to save the content at any time. You may add content for multiple pages, in the event that you would like to add mutliple page navigation options to your textfield. Click on the toggle visible button in the fCMS toolbar to see the page navigation controls. This is an example as to how this should look:

2. Click on the X button in the top right corner of the toolbar to exit the administration mode at any time. You will be prompted to save the changes if there were any made.

Editing an image or external SWF

1. To edit an image (or external SWF), click on the editable image. The image editing dialog box should now open. Press the Browse button to browse for the image. This will open the file browser panel:

2. If you do not have file upload permissions, please continue to step 3. If you have file upload permissions, you will see Browse and Upload buttons in the lower left of the file browser panel. Press Browse to locate the image file that you wish to upload from your local hard drive. After selecting the file, select upload to upload the file to the webserver. The file should now appear in the file list:

3. Select the file that you wish to insert, from the list of files, and press OK. You will now be returned to the image editing dialog box. Press AutoSize to display the image at it's original full size or press AutoFit to scale the image to fit into the ImageSatellite component. You may also set the width, height and x and y properties manually.

4. Click on the "Caption" radio button to add a caption. After typing the caption, press "enter".

5. Click on the X button in the top right corner of the toolbar to exit the administration mode at any time. You will be prompted to save the changes if there were any made.
