How to create your own content / links in 21.COMMERCE

These instructions describe the process and the possibilities for creating and managing your own pages and links in 21.COMMERCE.

There are two menus used to create and link your content:

1. “Edit content”: Creating and updating content
   
2. “Edit navigation”: Managing links and where the content will be displayed
   
   

Administration Menus

First register in the backend of your 21.COMMERCE system.

Click on “Own content” there you see both menus.

Create New Entry

In the “Edit content” window, under “Create new page” enter the name of the new page and click on the “create” button.

A box is shown where you can enter the data for the new entry. Select the drop-down list Type and select Page with content.

Info: In a newly installed shop there are three main entries:

• main navigation: Elements that are displayed horizontally in the main navigation at the top.
  
• Infolinks: Elements which are displayed on the left side (e.g. in a box).
  
• Footer: Elements that are displayed horizontally in the footer at the bottom of the shop.

Figure 8: Edit your own content in the editor

Info: To enter HTML code directly, simply click on the “Insert link” button at the top of the editor.

Delete contents

Here you can either remove the link to a page in the link box and / or the page with the content itself.

Delete link

If you want to remove the link to one of your own pages, go to chapter 6 again and click as shown there on the red “delete”-button at the right of the page you want to delete.

This procedure is recommended if you no longer want to display the desired page in the shop, but still want to keep the content. Please note that direct links to the page are still possible (e.g. via search engine).

Info: This operation only removes the link in the navigation. The page and its content will not be deleted. The following chapter describes how to delete the whole page.

Delete page

The self-created pages are stored as HTML files. The pages are loaded and displayed for the customer with the PepperShop Static Page Loader.

To delete the content of a page, go to the help archive (‘Shop-Administration Main Page’ > ‘Help & News’ > ‘Help Archive’ > ‘Static Page Loader’ (scroll in the content list or enter search term).

Figure 9: Delete pages

Then search for the “Existing files” section as shown in the figure and delete the desired links. There is one page with the same name per language in the shop.
