Pages and widgets

Screens that are not boards (the main page, company introduction, terms of service, etc.) are built as pages. You add pages in the site menu editor, and there are three types.

Content pages

Pages you write directly in the editor. Use them for screens with fixed content, such as a company introduction, terms, or notices.

  • Choose Content page when adding a menu, and write the content in the editor.
  • It is a standalone screen, not a board with one post, so it has no comments or list.
  • Users with management permission can go straight to the edit screen from the front-end admin bar.

Widget pages

Pages you assemble by placing widgets. Use them when gathering several pieces of content (latest posts, a login box, banners) in one place, as on a main page.

  • Choose Widget page when adding a menu.
  • Add and arrange widgets on the edit screen. For each widget, set its skin and display settings (which board, how many posts, etc.).

External pages

Loads and shows HTML or a page from somewhere else. Use them to reuse static pages you have already made.

Setting the main page

  • In the site menu editor, specify the menu to use as the home (start page).
  • Usually you set a widget page as the main page and combine it with the layout's visual slider (if the layout supports one).

Using the editor

The default editor for both content pages and board posts is zittEditor.

  • Images are attached by dragging and dropping or pasting. You can set the representative image (thumbnail) from the attachment list.
  • Use the toolbar for formatting such as tables, links, and dividers, and use source view if you want to work with HTML directly.
  • On dark mode sites, the editor also follows the dark screen.
