Static Pages and Portal Tabs

Static pages (not containing dynamic content) can be create to correspond to "portal tabs" that show in the top menu section in Plumi, to appear on all pages of a Plumi website.

To make changes to the static pages and portal tabs you must firstly log in as a Manager.

  2. Give the page a title and description, following instructions for editing content in this chapter making sure you publish the page. In this example we've created a page "test-tab"
  3. Click site setup.

  4. Choose Zope Management Interface.



  5. Click portal_actions (scroll down the list to find it).

  7. Tick the box next to review_list and click Copy button.
  8. Click the Paste button. 
  9. Click the copy_of_review_list link. 
  10. Edit the details of the portal tab - give it a new Title, change the end of the URL to the short name of the page you added e.g. "test-tab", choose View from Permissions and click Save Changes button. 
  11. Click the portal_tabs link. 
  12. Choose the tick box next to copy_of_review_list and click Rename. 
  13. Give your tab a new name and click the OK button.

  15. If you wish to delete a tab, go back to portal_tabs in the ZMI and select the checkbox for the tab you wish to delete and click delete.
