These pages describe how to use the website in more detail. Please note that some of this content is based on an earlier version of Plone, and it thus out of date (this section will be deprecated soon). A better source for more up to date information is the Plone User Manual.

Technology You Need

The LiveModern website assumes that you have certain kinds of widely available technology for best use. Use this check list to determine your computer's compatibility with our technology.

Registering for Membership

Registered members of LiveModern have access to more content and have a personal folder for their own use. Follow these step-by-step instructions for creating a new account on the LiveModern website.

Setting Member Preferences

There are several ways that registered members of LiveModern can customize how they interact with the website.

Adding and Editing Content

The LiveModern website makes it easy for registered members to add content to share with other members of LiveModern. Here's how to add new web pages, news items, events, and other content to the website.

Assigning Properties to Content

Any document can have properties assigned to it. These properties are also known as "metadata" and provide information such as keywords, copyright and contributor information. The properties form has several fields that are common to all types of documents. Using the propteries menu tab, you can change these properties.

Publishing Your Content

Documents are created in the "visible" state, which means anyone can access them, but they will not show up in the site navigation box. (Visible documents are available through the search feature and by linking directly to their URLs.) Here is how you publish your document to give members full access to find and read its content.

The Workflow System

LiveModern uses a "Content Mangement System" (CMS) called Plone to publish its content. This article, for advanced users, explains how the workflow system of content management works in Plone.

Structured Text Cheat Sheet

Structured Text is an easy to learn but powerful document formatting system that is ideally suited to web applications. With Structured Text, format-independent writing becomes extremely convenient and natural, once a few rules are learned.
