MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual page 178

Contribute lets you control the types of new pages that users can create, and lets you specify
templates that users can use to create new pages. The new page types include the following:
•
Create a blank page lets users create blank pages.
•
Use built-in sample pages lets users create and modify copies of preexisting sample pages that
are provided with Contribute.
•
Create a new page by copying any page on the website lets users create and modify a copy of
an existing page on the website.
•
Create a new page by copying a page from this list lets users create pages based on a set of
pages that you specify.
•
Use Dreamweaver templates lets users create pages based on templates created in
Dreamweaver, usually by a web page designer or other web professional, that have defined
editable and non-editable regions. Such pages ensure a consistent look and feel throughout a
website, and only allow users to update specific areas of text and images. Dreamweaver
templates are stored as files with a .dwt filename extension, in a folder called Templates in the
root folder of a website. For more information about Dreamweaver templates, see
Dreamweaver Help.
Specifying Dreamweaver templates for contributors to use
Contribute lets you choose what Dreamweaver templates users are able to see and use to create
new web pages. You can choose to let users see all of the available templates, or only templates
that you choose for users of that group.
To specify the Dreamweaver templates users can see and use:
In the New Pages category of the Permission Group dialog box (see "Accessing the Permission
1
Group dialog box" on page 168.), select Use Dreamweaver templates and select one of
the following:
•
Show users all templates allows users to see all of the available templates.
•
Only show users these templates displays only certain templates to users. If you select this
option, you can select templates and use the Hide and Show buttons to move the templates
between the Hidden templates list and the Only show users these templates list.
Repeat until all of the templates you want to display to users of the group are visible in the
2
Only show users these templates list.
