Hi,
I am a newbie and am getting nowhere trying to set up a defined area to edit, saving and then editing the content. The content does not become edit-able. I cannot seem to find a help guide for the very basics. I think I used to know where to put the comment links in the code, but I do not know where to put the class edit in the cod - I need more examples of classes - I am not a programmer and am trying to identify where exactly to put the class edit.
You should find this post helpful on adding class names into the code

We're investigating why defining edit areas aren't working for your site.
Hi there,
For some reason I am having issues with defining certain areas too - for some reason when selecting images in either PNG or JPG format to be defined for editing, when then going into the editor - the images can be altered however only as a plain text object - not an image for some reason. Sometimes it works with some images and sometimes it does not with others.
Apart from this I must say we are extremely impressed with the CMS and will be reccomending this to everyone! If this could be fixed then it's very much close to perfection.
Thanks.
Hi Cliff
I've taken a look at the page you're referring to and it seems that the images are not actually images but empty spans with background images inside. That's your problem right there :)
If you replace these with actual on-page images it will work fine.
Thanks for your kind words by the way - it means a lot to us!
Okay, I tried to add the class="edit" to multiple areas of the code & see if anything would work.
Here is what I have done so far:
Click Define edit areas, then selected a section of content on my site, then clicked save changes.
Then I go to Edit Content & try to click on the area that I have defined as an edit area, but it is not able to be clicked on (as in the define edit area selection did not work).
Then I tried to click on the Code tab. I am not a programmer, so I'm not totally sure which HTML element to add the class="edit" would affect all of the page's content.
Here's an example. I added the class="edit" in places & saved changes, but I still was unable to go back & edit content that is displayed from my website in the Simple CMS site.
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="borggaard.aspx.cs" Inherits="philanthropy_borggaard" %>
<asp:content id="Content1" contentplaceholderid="MainContent" runat="Server" class="edit">
<div class="box" id="n0" class="edit">
<h1 id="n1">Borggaard Beach - Let's Make A Splash!</h1>
<br />
<p id="n2" class="edit">
Please let me know what I am doing wrong. I really need to figure this out & be able to allow other users to edit the content as well. Thanks.
Hi, when adding/updating your site you set the class name to "edit this". The class name should not contain spaces. Also, trying to use class="edit" won't work if you've chosen a different class name. I've updated your site to use the default "edit" class name. You can now define and edit content.
Thank you for your help - editing now.
I cannot edit my website, liked the old system much more user friendly. the website I am trying to edit is www.kilcoyexchangehotel.com
Simon 9 "liked the old system much more user friendly"
You gotta' be kidding right?
Hi Simon, you had the wrong "root directory" saved. It was set to /public_html/index.html instead of /httpdocs/index.html. I've updated this for you.
You should find everything working perfectly that the next time you log into the system.
Simon9 - I really hope you don't prefer the old system. It would seriously make me worry about what we've been doing for the past year! ;)
Hi,
I am finding I cannot edit content on my site, despite defining it then saving, but when I go back toe dit the tags don't appear over the area I previously specified.
From reading the above posts, it seems the system adds tages to class yet I have already used class for styles etc, so the code seems to end up like this:
class=left edit edit
What am I doing wrong?
Hi Rob, it appears that attributes on your web pages were missing quote marks,
e.g. attributes look like this:
<td rowspan=5 class=left ....but the system expects them to be formatted like this:
<td rowspan="5" class="left" ....If you add quotes around your class attributes everything should work correctly for you.
