This is where the content hierarchy of your website is created. The content hierarchy is defined as sections with subsections which are web pages. Here one can also enter the content of web pages.
Navigate to Content > Pages > Sections in admin panel.
Custom pages section is represented as a hierarchy of sections and subsections. This hierarchy is implemented in the form of the table consisting of the following columns:
The title (of sections and their subsections)
The address (the names of sections or subsections written in Latin script. The address is displayed in an address bar.)
A Menu (the menu type this section is assigned to)
A Language (i.e. language version of the section and its subsections)
Actions (what one can do with the section and its subsections)
Each section or subsection is a page. The only difference is that the ones (subsections) are subordinates of others (sections). Thus, for clarity sake, we call these pages “sections” and “subsections”.
Sections and subsections fall into three different menus.
Menu Location | The way it looks like On website |
|---|---|
Top |
|
Sidebar (The menu is visible when a section or subsection created precisely in Content is selected by a user) |
|
Bottom |
|
A section can be configured to not display in a menu at all.
A sidebar menu can be set up in the Configuration section.
One can choose the pages to display in different menus Using Navigation section.
Since sections and subsections are added one after another (a new one is added to the end of the list) you should have a clear understanding of the sequence of sections (and subsections) within different types of menus. One can change the order of sections within a menu in the “Navigation” section. |
To Add section you need to click the “Add” button.
This will open a form for adding a page.
The page:
Can be a section or a subsection;
Can or cannot be added to the menu;
Can be a page in any language available.
Enter the name of a page:
The address and the title H1 will be entered automatically.
If you want to change the address or title H1 you need to clear the text field and type a new address or title.
Since we are creating a section leave the name as it is “Section”.
Choose what type of menu the section will be displayed in.
Click the down arrow to open a drop-down list of menus.
Select the appropriate menu from the list.
If the Multilingualism module is enabled you can select a language which the section will be displayed in.
This is what a section is created for: information essential for a buyer.
Fill in the form.
Add any information and pictures. You can do any required formatting in a content editor like you do using MS Word.
When the text editor field has been completed please click the “Save” button.
Once you’ve done this, the new section will show up in the sections list in admin panel. The section will also appear On website – in the menu that it was assigned to upon creation.

In the dropdown list that appears select Edit.
This will open a page similar to that for adding a section. Fill out the fields in the same manner as you did in the “Add section” part of the present instructions.

If it is necessary to delete a section one should remember:
A section (with all information) will be permanently deleted.
In case there are subsections in a section they will automatically be subsections of the superior section.
To delete a section Click the gear button in the “Actions” column in the string that contains a section to be deleted.
From the subsequent drop-down list select the “Delete” button.
Once you have clicked the “Delete” button you should confirm the deletion. A confirm screen will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the section.
Once you click “Yes” the section will be permanently deleted.
If there were subsections in the “How to choose the right size” section they would be subsections of the ”Questions and Answers” section.
