Quick start

What you have to know about CMpro

• CMpro works with two kind of objects: Subjects and Pages.
• Subjects are just containers of Pages and have no content.
• Pages host the documents proper, with their content, author name and many other attributes that you can choose to insert or not.
• Each Subject can have as many Pages as you wish, but no sub-Subjects.
• Each Page can have as many children Pages as you wish and each of these childrend can have children pages of its own. The resulting "tree" can be wide and deep as you wish.

Your first Subject with CMpro

• After having installed CMpro, go to the addreess http://www.your_site/index.php?module=CMpro&type=admin.
• As you can se, there are no Subjects, but a form called "Add a new subject".
• Insert a title in the field Title (for instance: "First subject") and click on the Add subject button.
• You will find yourself in a page identical to the previous one, but now displaying a table with just one row describing the Subject you have just created.

Your first page with CMpro

• In the column called Actions of the Subjects table, click on the rightmost icon that will take you to the Pages section for this Subject.
• You will find yourself in a page telling you that there are no Pages for this Subject, but displaying a form to insert a new Page.
• Insert a title in the field Title (for instance: "First page"); write some text in the Content field, if you wish, and then click on the Add page button.
• You will find yourself in a page identical to the previous one, but displaying a table with the title and some attributes of the Page that you have just created.

Your first CMpro block

• Go in Administration -> Settings -> Blocks and click on the New block link.
