UCMS - Special Pages

The ucms.php local Content Management System uses special pages within a site to indicate how certain parts of a web page should be built and also to hold the details of ow to build things like the sitemap.txt  that can be used to inform google of all the pages within your website.

To use these pages, just create a page with one of the following names and add the required information to the indicated field. These pages do not have a 'pageType' as they don't directly generate anything, they are just place holders for the information needed.

'sitemap'

Used to indicate the prefix of any pages within the current web site.  If the web sites address is http://www.linesofcode.co.uk'  then the title of the sitemap page should contain 'http://www.linesofcode.co.uk'. As the site is built, each page is added to the sitemap.txt file with this prefix (as required in a google basic text site map file).

In order to use the sitemap.txt file, you need to create an account with google for their webmaster tools and point them to the sitemap.txt file.  If you need to verify the website belongs to you, then you can use the ucms.php to create a page with the name they specify or use the meta page to add a meta tag to your pages.

'meta'

Used to add meta tags to the top of every page in the web site.  These may be author details, 'robots' instructions or any other meta tag.  The meta tags are typed into the content area of the 'meta' page.

'wput'

Used to hold the ftp account details so that the ucms.php system can upload your pages once they have been tested see UploadPages.html.

'styles.css'

Is a regular page with a PageType of 'code'.  In this page and if necessary, a similar page called 'sitename'.css, you can put any .css style sheet instructions.
