Using webmake.cgi
WebMake now provides some simple "edit in browser" functionality, using
webmake.cgi .
Note: this is beta functionality, and may have security implications. Use
with caution!
Some features of note:
-
The default view is an overview of your site, allowing you to quickly find
what you want to change.
-
webmake.cgi includes a rudimentary file manager, allowing you to travel
through the directories that make up your site, and create, delete, edit
and upload files therein.
-
Text and XML can be edited quickly, in a textbox, with built-in input
areas for entering common metadata items (such as titles).
-
You can also use it to edit the items of content embedded in the WebMake
file itself, or simply edit the WebMake XML file in a text box.
-
With a single click of a link, the WebMake site can be built there and
then.
Also, webmake.cgi supports CVS, which provides these benefits:
-
multiple copies of the same site can be replicated, and changes made on
any of the sites will be automatically updated on all the others.
-
changes made to the site will be kept under version control, so older
versions of the site can be "rolled back" if necessary.
-
a history of changes to the site is kept, allowing you to see exactly who
did what to which.
