Creating files and directories
First enter the Files tab and focus the directory where the
new file or directory should be created. The press the Edit new
file, Upload new file or Create directory
button to start the wizard that gives guidance through the creation
process.
Before creating a new file or directory it is necessary to reflect
on the fact that it is not possible to have the same name on files and
directories, ever. If a name has been given to a file there can never
be a directory with the same name, eventhough the file has been
removed, and vice versa. Thus if the directory index.html/ is
created no files named index.html can be created.
Create directory
A directory is created by first focusing on the directory in which the
new directory should be created, then pressing the Create
directory button. It will activate a wizard which will give
guidance during the creation process.
In the first part of the wizard the name of the new directory is
choosen.
Choose directory name
On the second page of the wizard the choice is confirmed. When the
Ok button is pressed the new directory will be created.
Confirm directory path
Create new files
To create a new file select either Edit new file to create
a new file or Upload to upload an existing file from the
local file system. More information about how to upload files can be
found in the Uploading/downloading files page.
When creating a new file it is necessary to focus on the directory
where the new file is to be stored. By pressing the Edit new
file button a wizard activates to give guidance through the
creation process.
The first page in the wizard is used to give the new file a
name.
Choose file name
The second page of the wizard is used for editing meta data. It is
especially important to enter the correct type for the file, as the
file type determines how SiteBuilder will handle the file. For HTML
files the template is also important, as it determines what layout
will be added to the content.
Enter meta data
The third page of the wizard is only available for certain file types.
Here it is possible to choose which template file to base the new file
on.
Choose template file
The fourth page of the wizard varies depending on file type as
well. Either it will ask to launch an external editor or a web-based
editor will be shown.
