Web configuration help

This is Web Man's web configuration page. You'll be working with a configuration file here.

The top form will show the currently open web's name, and the location of its configuration file. Use the "configuration file" input to specify another one if necessary.

On loading this page, or on pressing the "Get Configuration" form button, the configuration file will be read and its information shown. Using the lower form fields, you can edit these options. Use the buttons to save and retreive them.

Saving and loading will always use the file in the "configuration file" form input. You can save multiple configuration files, but only the one with the default name will be used. The default name is the same name as the current web, with the extension ".conf". To change the whole configuration, specify one of your alternate files in the "configuration file" field, press the "Get Configuration" button, change the "configuration file" field to the default name, then press the "Save Configuration" button.

Meaning of the configuration fields

• Its configuration file ("ConfFile" in the source of this page) is the location of the current web's configuration file, relative to the web's root directory.
• Report detail ("v" in the configuration file, and in the source of this page) controls the verbosity of messages and reports.
• Site map file ("MapFile") stores the location of the site map relative to the web's root directory. You can have as many site maps as you want, but only the one specified here will be used to structure your web site.
• Theme ("Theme") stores the location, relative to your web root, of things used to set the look and feel of your web.
• Includes ("Includes") stores the location, relative to your web root, of shared borders. Other Web Man scripts can apply these shared borders to every page on your web. You can also keep your own re-usable pieces here.
• Styles ("Styles") stores the location, relative to your web root, of cascading style sheets (CSS) for your web.
• Template ("Template") stores the location, relative to your web root, of a template used to make new pages for your web. You can have as many templates as you want, but this is the one used if you don't specify which one you want.
