Creating a new Artist page [ top ]
Prerequisites:

• Obtain artist information from artist

Creating the page:

• Navigate: Create content > Artist
• Fill out all fields, following directions printed near each field
• You do not need to expand any of the sub-sections

Creating a new Album page [ top ]
Prerequisites:

• Create the Artist page for the album artist
• Obtain album information from artist
• Obtain downloadable .zip file, containing all artist tracks

Uploading the downloadable content:

• Use an FTP client to login to your ftp site
• Navigate to the "fev_downloadables" folder, which, for security reasons, is above the "public_html" folder
• Create a folder for the artist if it does not exist yet
• Upload the .zip file into this artist folder

Creating the page:

• Navigate: Create content > Album
• Fill out all fields, following directions printed near each field
• You do not need to select a Catalog
• Product information: You need SKU, Sell price, and weight. You can leave shipping information blank or as it appears by default
• You do not need to expand any of the sub-sections

Connecting the downloadable content to the product:

• On the product page, click Edit and then Features
• Choose to add a File download feature
• Type the name of the .zip file. It will auto-complete the filename
• Make sure Shippable product is checked
• Choose Save feature

Creating a new album Track [ top ]
Prerequisites:

• Create the Album page to which the tracks belong
• Obtain track listing from artist
• Obtain individual, "sample sized" (30, 60, 90 seconds recommended) mp3 files for each track

Uploading the downloadable content:

• Use an FTP client to login to your ftp site
• Navigate to the "fev_downloadables" folder and enter the artist folder
• Make sure there is a folder for the album
• Upload the audio files to this album folder. Any format is acceptable, but make sure your customer knows what format it is. Be sure to choose the full version and not the demo when uploading.

Creating the page:

• Navigate: Create content > Track
• Fill out all fields, following directions printed near each field
• You do not need to select a Catalog
• Be sure to choose the demo version of the song when uploading. Note that all demo versions will be easy for anyone to download, as they are not kept in a secure place. Only the downloadable versions are kept in a safe place.
• Product information: You need an SKU and Sell price. You can leave shipping information blank or as it appears by default
• You do not need to expand any of the sub-sections

Connecting the downloadable content to the product:

• On the product page, click Edit and then Features
• Choose to add a File download feature
• Type the name of the audio file. It will auto-complete the filename. Note that the demos and full files are kept in separate places, so you cannot accidentally choose the demo file here; only on upload.
• Make sure Shippable product is unchecked
• Choose Save feature

Creating a new News post [ top ]
Prerequisites:

• Article Headline and Content

Creating the post:

• Navigate: Create content > News
• Fill out all fields
• You do not need to expand any of the sub-sections
• News will be automatically posted to the top (underneath sticky articles) of the front page

Understanding advanced (collapsed) settings found on every type of content [ top ]
Note: Under normal circumstances, you should not need to change any of these settings on any page. Also, depending on your permissions, you may or may not be able to see some or all of these options.

• Input format: Note: this is for advanced use only. You can choose how a text area will be handled. The default is Filtered HTML, meaning that a limited vocabulary of HTML is accepted. Any disallowed tags will be ignored. The rules are listed in the options. PHP code is reserved for advanced users requiring specific and non-normal tasks. You can type in the text area as if it were a .php file. You have access to associated databases and variables. You should include <?php ?> tags. Full HTML allows you to post unfiltered HTML, allowing all tags. The rules are listed in the options.
• Comment settings: This changes how users can comment on a particular page. Typically you would choose Disabled or Read/Write. Read only is only used if you want to preserve the already created comments, but not allow any new comments to be created.
• URL path settings: This allows you to create a custom url for this particular page, such as http://example.com/custom/path. You would make this path by typing "custom/path" into the box.
• Menu settings: This will create a menu item (in the Navigation menu on the left) that links directly to this page. The Title is exactly what will appear in the menu. Choose a Parent item other than Navigation if you want it to appear somewhere other than on the top leve.
• Authoring information: Use this to change the listed creator or date/time of creation for this page.
• Publishing options: This changes the way/where your page appears on the site. Published means that your page is publicly available. If not selected, only yourself and administrators will be able to see the page. Promoted to front page means exactly that. News posts, for example, have this selected by default. Sticky at the top of lists means that your post will always appear at the top of a list containing it. For example, the welcome mat has this selected, and always appears at the top of the front page. Create new revision means that you will not overwrite the current version, but keep both versions and be able to choose from all of them. A Revisions menu appears to authors/admins at the top of your page only if you have more than one version. Only choose this to create a new version, not edit a new version.
