# Sections

Sections are provided as an area of your website for content that does not change very often.

From the Administration menu, click "Sections".

- Editing Active Sections: If the site has any previously-defined Active Sections, they will be listed at the top of the page. Click the Section name to edit the properties of the Section. At the top of the page, the graphic for the Section will be shown. Under that is a drop-down list from which you can select any article within the Section for editing. Click "Go" to edit the article.

  Edit the Section Name (up to 40 characters of non-HTML alphanumeric text) or the Section Image (the graphic file must be in the images/sections/ directory) from this page.

  Click "Save Changes" to save any modifications. Click "Delete" to delete the Section and ALL articles in the Section. From the confirmation screen, click "Yes" to delete the Section and ALL articles in that Section. Click "No" to abort deletion.

- Adding a new article to a Section: To add an article into Sections, follow the steps below.

  - Enter the title of the Article in the "Title" field.

  - Select the Section into which the article should be added. Do not select any Section to save the article for publishing at a later time.

    To publish an article that has been previously saved, "Edit" the article from the listing of articles at the bottom of the Administration -> Sections page.

  - From the drop-down list, select the language for which this article will be displayed, or "All" to have the article shown to all users of the site, regardless of their language setting. In this way, you could create English language articles that are displayed only to your English users.

  - Enter the body of the article in the "Content" field. Free-form alphanumeric text. All HTML tags defined in Administration -> Settings are permitted in this box.

    To cause the article to span multiple pages, add " " where the page break is to be inserted. The article will be displayed with navigation controls if multiple pages are defined.

  Click "Add new Article" to save the new article to Sections. The article is immediately available.

- Editing/viewing/deleting recent articles in Sections: A listing of recent articles in Sections is displayed near the bottom of the page. From left to right, the listing indicates:

  - the name of the article

  - the language setting for the article

  - the Section in which the article is listed

  - Edit/Delete options.

  Click "Edit" to edit the article (click "Save Changes" to save any modifications), or "Delete" to delete the article. Click "Delete" to delete the article. From the confirmation screen, click "Yes" to delete the article. Click "No" to abort deletion.

- Add a new Section: At the bottom of the page, a new Section can be created. Type the Section Name, for example: "Articles I Have Written". Enter the name of the optional graphic file associated with this Section in the Section Image field. The graphic must be located in the images/sections/ directory.

Click "Add Section" and the new Section will be created.
