Managing CMS content

The Content CMS bundles page tree, page settings, editor, media and publication. Administrators maintain pages and languages without directly editing product files or database tables.

Open Content CMS

Classification: CMS pages, folders, texts and media are contents of the respective installation. You do not belong to a dbxapp product update. System-wide PHP, template, JavaScript or CSS functions remain product sources.

The CMS surface

The work surface consists of three connected areas:

AreaTask
Page treeSelect language, folders and pages and manage the structure.
Page and EditorEdit page data and the actual content.
Media and attitudesAssign hero, gallery, inline media, representation and other properties.

Page tree, folders and languages

  • Select the desired language and then the destination folder.
  • Create new folders or pages in the technically appropriate position.
  • Folders set common guidelines for rights, content template, hero and gallery; parent Then set the folder.
  • Move pages only if navigation, inheritance and linguistic assignment continue afterwards.
  • Before deleting, check whether navigation, media, links or language siblings are still using the page.

Editing content in the editor

The editor supports headings, paragraphs, lists, links, tables, media, approved Bootstrap components, module inclusions and dbx range markers. Use semantic formats and the intended components instead of replicating layout with blank lines or copied Office formatting.

  • Existing [modul=...]...[/modul]-Modify integrations only if the associated function is to be explicitly adapted.
  • Do not accidentally delete Hero, Header, Column and Footer markers.
  • In HTML source text mode, do not insert scripts, free event handlers or page-exclusive CSS applications.
  • After major changes, check desktop and mobile view.

Hero, gallery and inline media

Media are managed centrally and then assigned to a page and a role:

  • Hero: large side image with its own height, variant and presentation.
  • Gallery: multiple sortable images with defined size and click behavior.
  • Inline: images, videos or downloads actually embedded in the editor content.
  • SEO/Social image: Preview image for search engines and social networks.

Do not guess free file paths. Always select media via the CMS media management, maintain alt texts and use image variants suitable for the visible size.

Multilingualism

Language variants belong together via their common language identity. Before synchronization, check whether a destination page is allowed to follow automatically or is deliberately maintained manually. Control title, permalink, content, SEO data and media assignments after each translation.

Store, review and publish

  1. Control page settings, content, media, language and rights.
  2. Save and wait for a successful feedback.
  3. Open front-end preview and test links, modules, forms, hero, gallery and mobile view.
  4. Check SEO title, description, robots and social image.
  5. Only then actively publish the page.
Do not change directly in the database: The CMS storage path updates media usages, language revisions, permalinks and side cache. Direct SQL changes bypass these reworks.

For AI-based page creation and revision, the administrator manual also applies Use dbxKi in a controlled manner.
