I have managed to add an enquiry form.( by reading the notes properly). I think if the advice notes were laid out in a nicer bigger type and formatted style, it would be less like trying to read legal smallprint and be more effective (my excuse)

I am now tring to add a mothly events calender but it will not confirm my setup choices but gives no error messages. The screen just flashes and stays on the confirm button. I could only set the user permisions properly by saying do not inherit home page permissions.

Another frustration is getting back to a position where any changes can be previewed.

I would be interested to know how other admins are getting on with the back office or if I am alone with such problems.

Regards

Bryn

Hi,

In my experience it does take a little while to understand all the bells and whistles of this very powerful website builder. I have found the "Test" site to be great way to try all the options before making any adjustments to the live site.You can always use the "preview" button at the top of a page once you have saved it to see if achieves what you wanted, before publishing.

The test site is effectively a copy of the live site at the time Joe copies them, which he says he is going to do tomorrow. This means the current test site will be over written. Anything you do to the test site will not affect the live site. So once you are happy with the outcome on the test site, you can then make the same update to the live site knowing it's going to work.

Good luck, and keep persevering, hope that helps.

Mike

I'm embarking on a project to revamp and update the documentation, which will include clearer text (by using the Clarity theme) and bigger clearer pictures.

It'll also include how-to guides for getting started and other common tasks, as well as some video guides.

Thanks

Joe
