NOTE Migrating Your Site to Ektron CMS400.NET If you exceed the licensed number of users, you may get locked out of Ektron CMS400.NET. Every user must belong to a group. When you first add a user, he or she is automatically added to the Everyone group. You can create more user groups and add users to them as desired. For more information, see “Managing Users & User Groups” in the Administrator manual. Configuring Content and Forms Folders Next, create folders to organize content blocks and forms. Create as many folders as you want. Each folder level can go as deep as you want. Best Practices Keep your folder structure simple so it’s easy for your users to navigate. Organize folders in a way that makes sense to the users who will navigate through them. So, you may have 6 or so top level folders, and each folder may go 4 or so deep. This folder structure is replicated under the Library folder. As you create folders, you can assign a default template and style sheet. The default template is used when a new content block is created and Ektron CMS400.NET creates a Quicklink that points to the new content block. If you do not provide a default template, it is inherited from the parent folder. After creating the folders, assign permissions and workflow to them. Permissions can be assigned to a user or a user group. The same is true for the approval process. Best Practices Limit permissions for the “Everyone” group, as this gives every user permissions to that content. Similarly, you should limit the “Everyone” group’s inclusion in the approval chain if you want to restrict which users can publish content. Ektron CMS400.NET Setup Manual, Version 5.0 Revision 9 147
Creating your Templates Migrating/Creating Content NOTE Deployment Migrating Your Site to Ektron CMS400.NET Now you can create your templates. Templates contain the look and feel of the site. Masthead, navigation, and footer graphics are all part of the template. Use server controls to insert Ektron CMS400.NET content into a template. A list of server controls is in the Developer’s Manual. You can add as many server controls per template as you want, but you can only have one dynamic tag per template. Best Practices Since dynamic templates include URL parameters, make each main landing page and other important pages static tags. This makes it easier for you to remember if you need to provide that link to someone. For instance, each main landing page from your home page could use the static tag. Then, as you go deeper into that section, subsequent pages use a dynamic tag. At this point, you can begin to create/migrate your content. If you are migrating content from an existing site, add a new content block, and cut and paste the content into the Ektron CMS400.NET editor. All images and files must be uploaded and inserted into the content separately. Deployment from development to production is as simple as moving the files over. To properly deploy your new Ektron CMS400.NET Web site, following these steps. 1. Copy all assets (templates, images, files, etc.) from your development box to your production machine. 2. Move the database. You have two choices • point your data source on the production machine to the database you were using Ektron CMS400.NET Setup Manual, Version 5.0 Revision 9 148
