Creating a content structure in DynamicWeb 10 CMS

Pages are default building blocks primarily used for two things:

  • To define the content structure of a website
  • To act as containers for content coming from paragraphs

As an editor, you interact with pages via the content area tree. You can use the plus-button as well as the page context menu to add and interact with pages.

Pages

When you click on a page, the workspace will show the page content in either list view or visual editor mode, depending on the design. You can then create and edit content using either of these modes.

Page Settings

Pages are rich objects with lots of settings for tweaking or configuring page behaviour, accessible from the page context menu or via the Settings-button in Visual Editor mode. The page settings are organized into tabs of related settings, you can read more about each tab below.

The SEO-tab contains search engine optimization related settings, chiefly for adding metadata and tweaking URLs: SEOTab The following settings are available:

Section Setting Use Notes
Meta Meta title Set the title tag
Description Set the meta description
Keyword(s) Set meta keywords Not in use by Google since 2009
Google preview Displays a preview of meta information
Noindex Check to set noindex on page Used to exclude a page from being indexed by search engines (if they respect the tag)
Nofollow Check to set nofollow on page Used to ask crawlers not to follow links on this page
404 for detected robots Check to present a 404-page to visitors identified as robots Based on user-agent
Canonical Set the canonical url for this page
Image Set the image for this page Useful when sharing pages on social media, as this image will be attached
URL URL Displays the auto-generated URL for this page See Customized URLs
Use in URL Specify a custom URL for this page Illegal characters are: '+', '?', '#', '%', ':', ';', '|', '<', '>', '*' ,' '(two whitespaces) ,'""' (two doublequotes). This setting depends on the url index being rebuilt, which can take a while, especially on solutions with many products or pages.
Do not include URL in subpage URLs Check to allow URLs to be trimmed by ignoring the parent page part of the URL in the subpage URL. You can use this if you don´t want the parent page name in the URL for the subpage, e.g. 'www.yourdomain.dk/Frontpage/subpage.aspx' is changed to 'www.yourdomain.dk/subpage'.aspx
Exact URL for this page Specify an exact url for this page E.g. without an extension or with a different extension, a different name, a specific path etc. The content in this field overrules the whole URL (after yourdomain.com/) for the current page. It does not have an effect on the subpage URLs.
