SimpleCMS allows you to add an XML sitemap to your account that will be used when you view the Sitemap, Add pages or Restrict pages for your users. This means you get complete control over which pages appear in the system.

By default the system will crawl your sites and generate a list of pages that are linked to, so adding an XML sitemap is not strictly necessary; but the XML sitemap can also be used to submit to Google and other search engines to inform them of pages existing within your site.

Visit the following Google tutorial to find out how to create your sitemap:

Just to reiterate, there is no need to create an XML sitemap file but it does help the system pick up your pages (as well as restricting pages the system picks up) in addition to aiding with SEO.

To add an XML sitemap please navigate to:
Sites > Update / remove > Site settings > XML sitemap

SimpleCMS adds a meta tag to your web pages while viewing them in the system. This makes it easy for you to use jQuery to detect if your website is being viewed through the system so you can apply any special CSS or JavaScript rules. You should use the following code in your page to take advantage of this:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
    if ($('meta[name = "in-cms"]').size() > 0)
    {
        // your code here
    }
});
</script>

SimpleCMS lets you edit PHP server side include files. You can use the following PHP functions to include files such as a global header/footer for a website.

require()
require_once()
include()
include_once()

The system is able to detect includes in the current folder, sub folders and parent folders. For example:

<?php
require('header.php');
require('../includes/header.php');
require('/includes/header.php');
?>

The code must be formated as in the examples above - including brackets, single or double quotes and ending with a semi-colon.

Each ID on your web page must be unique in order for your site to function properly and this is moreso important when using systems that extensively utilise ID tags, such as SimpleCMS.

As SimpleCMS references those IDs to the content the ID relates to, so when you edit your site the system can make the correct areas editable through knowing the unique ID of each area on the web page.

If you have duplicate IDs on your web page then the system will not know which area is the correct area to make editable.

The system will automatically check if the ID of an area is duplicated on the same web page and prevent you from making this an editable area.

Duplicating IDs on your webpage will also make your site invalid. W3C offer a validation tool which checks your site is valid and provides you with a detailed list of warnings and errors, if any occur. You can find the validation tool here:

The correct use of ID attributes can also be found on the W3 Schools website:
