Frequently Asked Questions for vContent

This message means that you have not set a start (home) page for the default localized site in the admin part of vContent. You can do this by right-clicking on the desired page and selecting "Set Start Page".

The reason for this is that the search module needs reindexing in order to start "seeing" the newly added pages. You can access the search module settings in the Modules from top menu in the administration part of vContent: Modules - Search Engine - Global Search Settings. It can be set to reindex at a certain time interval (in days) or reindexed manually (by pressing the Reindex button). Keep in mind that in case you press Reindex, reindexing starts next time you use the search on the site and it takes some time (depending on the number of the pages in the site) to be completed.

In general, in order to duplicate a module on other page you have to create it on that other page, copy the contents from the module on the first page and paste it in the second. Starting from 2.1 release of vContent it is much easier to do this (see screenshot): edit the first page, just select Copy Module from the dropdown menu and then go to the other page, choose a functional area and select Paste Module.

You can create a user group with specific permissions and then you can add one or more usesrs to this group. You can access these settings through User Management menu in the admin part of vContent. Anyways, if you don't add the user to the Site Managers (edited from the Settings for each site), he/she will not be able to approve/activate pages, but just to edit and send for approval.

There may be two reasons for this: check if added news are not assigned to a category that you chose not to display in the NewsList module on the page page, secondly make sure you checked the news enabled after you created them (see screenshot). Please also keep in mind the expiry date that you set for the news (because after that date news are archived and may not be shown anymore).

The reason for this may be that your email was not added to the Contact Us form recipietns or the status should be checked to Enabled (see screenshot). This can be set in the admin part of vContent through Modules - Contact Us - Email Management.

The newly added menu item should have the same classes set in the CSS Options in order to look like the other items.

Some of the modules, featured on a page are not set in the page content, but rather in the style used by this page. In the case where you cannot edit item/area on a page you can go and edit it in the style used by this page. You can view the name of the style at the top when editing the page. Then you can reach this style through Templates (from the top menu in vContent) - Site Templates - Styles.

Make sure that the Enable is checked for this group.

You can rearrange the page sequence from the Menu settings (right-click on the menu - Settings) using the arrows for each page (see screenshot).

Position the cursor over the separation line and drag it right until you see a hidden scroll-bar that will help you scroll the whole menu.

The reason for this is the correspondence between the browser language settings and the available localized sites. The browser will look for the start page of the corrresponding localized site and in case it does not have a start page set, it will be unable to display the site.

After you uploaded the image in the Editor, switch to the HTML mode, and add a DIV tag, setting the font size to 0px:

When editing the NewsList module on the home or inner page you can choose different module presentations.

You can set the allignment for the items in Module Style Editor for the respective menu.

After uploading the css file you have to set the appropriate classes in CSS Options for the menu.

Again the new style has to be set in the appropiate field in CSS Options in order to apply to the menu item.
