Modules and Pages

This section lets admins organize how site content appears and behaves. Modules are rich, searchable records (e.g., Objects, Exhibitions), while Pages are simple, single-content sections (e.g., Help).

Use this interface to enable, group, and customize the visibility of both Modules and Pages. It defines how users navigate and interact with structured data (Modules) and static information (Pages), supporting tailored site layouts and streamlined access to content.

How to Use

1. Navigate to Modules and Pages from the left-hand admin menu.

2. Review the list of available modules and pages, presented in tabular format.

3. For each row:

   • Set the order of appearance using the numeric field.

   • Toggle Enabled to activate or deactivate the module/page.

   • Select one Home Page radio button to define the default landing module or page.

   • Toggle Menu visibility to include/exclude the item from the top-level navigation.

   • Use Edit to configure deeper settings for that module or page.

4. After making adjustments, click Save (top right or bottom left) to apply your changes.

Details and Options

Module/Page

Displays the name of each module or page. Modules typically include multi-page record management (e.g., Objects, Exhibitions), while Pages are static content pages (e.g., Help, About).

Order

Sets the display sequence in both the admin panel and navigation menus. Lower numbers appear first.

Enabled

Checkbox to activate or deactivate the module/page entirely. Disabled items are not accessible to users.

Home Page

Radio button allowing only one module or page to serve as the site’s landing screen.

Menu

Checkbox to show or hide the item in the main site navigation. Helpful in staging content or decluttering the menu.

Edit

Opens configuration options for the selected module or page (field structure, appearance, search settings, etc.).

Tips or Notes

• Menu Visibility: Items unchecked in the "Menu" column can still be accessed directly via URL or internal links, useful for linking supporting content without cluttering navigation.

• Setting a Home Page: Ensure only one item is selected as the home page to prevent conflicts in site routing.

• Data Re-indexing: Some configuration changes (e.g., enabling/disabling modules) may trigger backend processes like re-indexing; allow time for changes to propagate.

• User Experience: Pair with the Display and Appearance settings (e.g., uppercase labels, grid layouts) to create a consistent visual hierarchy across all visible modules and pages.
