Building Pages and Directories

Create a new page

You are now ready to create your own pages. Proceed with the following steps to learn how to create pages using the WYSIWYG environment of RADpage:

Call RADpage by requesting the following URL to Create Your First Page.
Two browser windows will open, one for RADpage and one for the page to be created.
In the RADpage window click the File link and then the New Page link.
This starts the New Page wizard.
For the page name enter my.hei, check the radio button for an empty page and click the Next button.
You can always use the Prev button to go back to a previous sheet. RADpage remembers everything you entered for later use, even if you leave the wizard.
On the second page, select outline as the page layout and choose the settings you like for the background color, foreground color and font size. The select the kind of WYSIWYG/HTML or text editor you like to edit the layout with. Then click the Next button.
On the third page, enter the settings you like for the page title, headline and the name of the page in the outline menu and click the Process button.
The wizard will now generate the page for you and displays it in the second browser window.
To get a feeling on how to work with RADpage, click on the blue component handle next to the Please replace this text in the browser window where the new page is being displayed.
The RADpage window refreshes and shows you the paragraph (P Tag) object.
In the RADpage window, click the Content button, edit the text and click the Save button.
The browser window with the new page refreshes and shows the updated text.
You can switch off the edit mode for the page in the browser window by choosing Display instead of Edit in the Page Mode selection box of the RADpage window and then clicking the reload button in the browser window.

To create a new page, you can also use a text editor and create new files with the .hei extension. Put them into the /home/radpage/docroot/heitml2.1/try/ directory and call them with your Browser. Try it out by creating a file called my.hei in that directory. Afterwards, execute your page.

Setting Parameters and creating new directories

This information relates to the Apache Web Server and the UNIX/CGI version.

You can create new heitml Web pages by putting pages on your server just like HTML pages, but with an .hei extension instead of .html. You can also create new directories and place heitml pages in them as well.

To create a new Web site, make a copy of all files including subdirectories of the template/ directory. If you want to create your own heitml library files, place them into the heitml/lib directory on your Web server. Alternatively, you could put them into your own directory and add a heitmlinclude (include) directive into the heitml configuration files. To access another database, simply change the database parameters heitmldbhost (dbhost), heitmldbport (dbport), heitmldbname (dbname), heitmluser (user), and heitmlpasswd (passwd). All of these parameters are documented in the Configuration Reference where you will find information as to how they relate to specific database systems.
