Pages
We are ready to start the page creation process.
You have to open the Content Management->Site section->Pages menu in Syntax Desktop.
In the center of the page we see the already defined pages, while on the left you can see the same pages in a tree structure. These pages can be modified, deleted or can be created new ones.
Every page is characterized by a title, ( you can retrieve this field in every template through the smarty variable {$synPageTitle}), by a text, ( you can retrieve this field in every template through the smarty plugin {page}) and by a template (see previous sections). It is also possible define a group of users that can manage the page. The “visible” checkbox specify either to show or to hide the page inside the navigation menu.
For every page it will virtually created a folder with the name of the page and it will put inside an index.php file. This will done in a recursive way in order to recreate the page structure defined in the page tree visualization. As example, to display a page named “lastpage” in “section2 ” that resides inside ”section1” you have to go at www.mysite.com/section1/section2/lastpage/. This technique avoid too much long URL and fill with infinites GET parameters. In this way the search engines can easily index your pages, the main characteristic for the success web site. Like other CMS, Syntax Desktop uses URL rewriting to obtain such as results.
