Page Management

Page Management

Create, configure, and manage all pages within the platform. This admin-only tool controls which pages exist, where they appear in the navigation, and what resources they use.

Key Features

  • Page List: View all system pages with their title, path, menu location, display order, and active/inactive status at a glance.
  • Create New Pages: A two-step wizard guides you through setting up a new page and automatically generates all required files.
  • Template Types: Choose between a Basic Page (standard content display) or a CRUD Page with Database (for managing database records with a built-in list).
  • Navigation Control: Assign pages to the sidebar, top bar, or no menu at all.
  • Edit Pages: Update a page's name, navigation settings, icon, and associated files — organized into Basic Information, Navigation Settings, and Page Assets sections.
  • Deactivate Pages: Removing a page hides it from all menus while preserving its files for recovery.
  • Sortable List: Click any column header to sort pages by title, path, menu location, order, or status.

How to Use

Creating a New Page

  1. Click Create New Page in the top right corner.
  2. Step 1 — Name and type: Enter a page name and select the template type.
    • Choose Basic Page for a standard content page.
    • Choose CRUD Page with Database to build a page that manages records from a database table.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Step 2 — Settings: Configure the page's navigation and appearance.
    • Select a Menu Location: Sidebar, Top Bar, or No Menu.
    • Enter an Icon class (e.g. fas fa-star) to display alongside the menu item.
    • For CRUD pages, select the Database Table the page will work with. Optionally check Generate List Configuration File to auto-scaffold the list setup.
    • Review the auto-generated asset file paths (view, handler, JS, CSS). Add or remove files as needed.
  5. Click Create Page. The page and all its supporting files are created automatically.

Editing a Page

  1. Find the page in the list and click Edit.
  2. The edit form is divided into three sections:
    • Basic Information: Edit the page name. The path and template type are shown for reference and cannot be changed.
    • Navigation Settings: Update the Menu Location or Icon.
    • Page Assets: Add or remove view, handler, JavaScript, CSS, or support files associated with this page.
  3. Click Save Changes.

Deactivating a Page

  1. Find the page in the list and click Delete.
  2. Confirm the action when prompted.
  3. The page is removed from all menus and marked as inactive. Its files are preserved on the server.

Searching and Sorting

  • Use the search bar to filter pages by title, path, or description.
  • Click any column header to sort the list. Click again to reverse the sort order.

Tips

  • Active vs. Inactive: The Status column shows a green badge for active pages and a red badge for inactive ones. Inactive pages still appear in this list so you can reactivate them if needed.
  • Auto-generated paths: When you type a page name in Step 1, the URL path and all asset file names are generated automatically — you rarely need to change them in Step 2.
  • CRUD pages and database tables: The database table dropdown is populated from the live database, so only existing tables appear.
  • Support files: Support Files track reference or backup files associated with a page but are not loaded when the page runs.
