Publishing content
The process of creating or editing web pages in SilverStripe CMS and then presenting them on your website involves three phases: creating or editing the page in the CMS interface; testing the functionality and checking the design in the draft site and finally; publishing the content to appear on the live site – the one seen and used by your clients. The instructions below assume that the first two phases are completed and that you are ready to publish the content to the live site.
- Click on the Site Content icon
to display the Site Content window - Locate or add the required page (for more information, refer to Finding a Page or Adding a Page)
- Click on the page, in the My Site pane, to display the contents and properties in the Edit Page pane
- Click on
to publish the contents to the live site
The “Publish” tool is located at the top of the “Edit Page” pane. If you can not see the tool, you might need to save the draft copy first (i.e. if you have made changes to the page and not yet saved them to the draft site, the “Publish” tool will not be displayed). Once you have published a page, the “Publish” tool becomes an “Unpublish” tool.
A green box appears at the bottom of the page to indicate that the changes have been successfully published to the live site…
