Access and navigation

Access

To get access to the Content Management System you need to log in.

Navigate to<your domainname>/login.php to see the login screen.

Once you are logged in, you will see the Homepage of the website, with a Menu bar at the top.

Menu Items:

Logged in: The user name

Admin: Link to navigate to the Administrator section of the CMS

Edit content: Click to get a Text Edit box for the whole page

Edit meta: Click to set the meta data of this page

Log out: Always log out after using the CMS.

Navigation while logged in

While logged in, the website behaves like it did before, although you will find extra elements on pages. Generally these elements are clickable images or text that enable you to update content (text or images) on the page.

Edit pop-ups

Often the CMS uses pop-up windows, for example to edit content of the page. These windows often consist of three parts.

At the top is a title. This is a title that the CMS has given to the section.

The main window often displays a form that allows you to change the properties of the element you want to update. This can be text, but it can also consist of images or check boxes.

At the bottom of the window there are usually three buttons. Save, Close and Save & Reload.

Save &Reload

When clicking this button, your changes will be saved and the entire page will be reloaded. The edit window is closed and the changes are visible.

Close

When clicking this button, no changes will be saved, the edit window will be closed. The page will not be refreshed, as this is not necessary. The changes you may have made have been lost.

Save

When clicking this button, your changes are saved. The edit window does not close, the page itself is not refreshed, only the form in the edit popup is reloaded. This button is useful if you want to view multiple small changes on another device. That way do not have to open the edit window again and again.

Log out

As a user of the CMS, you have received login credentials so that you can make adjustments to the website. Often websites use contact forms, booking modules and / or newsletters. In that case, as a logged-in user of the CMS, you will often have access to e-mail addresses or other personal data as well.

To keep risks as low as possible, Intakt advises never to leave a computer without logging out. This can be done from any screen, both in the so-called Frontend via the grey bar and in the Admin section in the menu at the top.

If you want to secure CMS access even better, there is an option to install an IP filter. For more information see chapter IP filter
