00:06 hey everybody Joe workman here and this
00:08 is gonna be video 2 of the getting
00:11 started series for total CMS now video
10:14 went over some of the core CMS features
00:16 that are a part of easy CMS and total
00:19 CMS now in this video we're going over
00:22 just the features that basically build
00:25 on top of that inside total CMS so the
00:29 features of this video are just going to
00:31 comprise of features that are part of
00:32 total CMS now really a lot of the core
00:36 concepts are still the same it's just
00:39 different features you still need to tie
00:41 your CMS ID on the admin side to the CMS
00:45 ID on the content side really that is
00:48 the core concept of the CMS very basic
00:52 again
00:53 it all works within rapidweaver ok so
00:56 this isn't gonna be too long of a video
00:57 I'm not gonna do some deep dives into
00:59 all the settings for the stacks that we
01:01 see please check out the more in-depth
01:04 tutorials for each individual component
01:06 for text and images and galleries and
01:09 files and so make sure you look out for
01:12 in-depth tutorials on those and those
01:14 will actually dive more in depth into
01:17 each setting ok in this video we're
01:19 gonna go over just a quick general
01:21 overview of how everything works okay so
01:25 without further ado let's jump on in so
01:28 here we have the total CMS demo project
01:30 that ships with total CMS and is
01:32 available for download from our
01:33 documentation portal now as you notice
01:36 this looks very similar to the easy CMS
01:38 file that we used in the getting started
01:41 video 1 so but there's a few additional
01:46 things below the tab container you'll
01:48 notice that we have a gallery ok we have
01:51 the ability manage videos you have a
01:53 slideshow we have the ability to
01:56 actually control a single file download
01:58 as well as entire file depots next we
02:02 have the ability to display news feeds
02:04 as well and the same thing happens on
02:07 the admin side right we have admin
02:10 containers to manage all of these things
02:13 so we have as we saw in the video one
02:15 okay all the stuff above here as well as
02:17 the ability to add new images the
02:20 ability to edit the video manage our
02:24 news feeds as well as upload new files
02:27 so if we look at the edit page for the
02:29 admin area I'm going to scroll all the
02:31 way down to the gallery section because
02:33 all the content above we've kind of
02:35 reviewed in the last video so here we
02:38 have the gallery and as you see I told
02:41 you that was going to be the same exact
02:43 concept right we have a CMS ID and I
02:46 assign this to have it an ID of gallery
02:48 and guess how I display this gallery on
02:51 the content page I have a gallery
02:54 content stack that has the CMS ID of
02:57 gallery right this isn't rocket science
02:59 all this works really really well it's
03:02 simple to setup and if we scroll down we
03:06 have the video stack to edit the video
03:08 right so that we can paste YouTube and
03:11 Vimeo URLs in here and have it easily
03:14 displayed and of course the option here
03:17 is you add a CMS ID and it ties to the
03:20 CMS ID on the content side now the feed
03:25 stack is maybe where it diverges a
03:27 little bit where it's a slightly more
03:29 complicated because there are two stacks
03:32 for feeds we have the feed post stack
03:36 where we can actually create new feed
03:39 items okay and we can either have an
03:41 image and text or text only feed items
03:44 and then we have a feed list stack and
03:48 this feed list stack will actually
03:50 display all of our existing feed items
03:53 and allow us to edit them or delete them
03:56 if we need to but even feeds they're all
04:00 tied with the same CMS ID so here I have
04:04 set the CMS ID in the feed list to be
04:06 total CMS and then the feed post stack I
04:09 also have that set to have this CMS ID
04:11 of total CMS now if we go further down
04:15 the page we'll see that we have files
04:17 and depots and guess what these are set
04:20 up the same exact way as everything else
04:23 we set up a CMS ID for our Depot and a
04:27 separate CMS ID for our file and these
04:30 are managed with this CMS ID so if we
04:35 preview our admin page let's see how
04:37 some of this functions for the admin
04:39 gallery it behaves pretty much how you
04:41 would expect it drag and drop a new
04:43 image here and it will be automatically
04:46 added to your gallery and just as with
04:49 the static images we can control the alt
04:51 tags as well as get warehouse to image
04:54 URLs to every single image further down
05:00 we have our videos and here you can
05:02 paste in any YouTube or Vimeo URL and
05:05 that Vimeo or YouTube video will be
05:08 displayed in your content areas and
05:10 feeds when you add a new post here you
05:14 type in your text and drag and drop a
05:16 new image and when it's done adding it
05:18 will be automatically added to your list
05:20 over here on the right and if you've
05:23 ever messed up on a post you could
05:24 simply click on that post and you can
05:27 edit both the image and the text
05:29 all right within the admin interface now
05:33 managing files with the CMS is just as
05:36 easy as managing images just drag and
05:39 drop the file of any type it could be a
05:42 zip or an image or a PDF and it will
05:45 automatically upload that file to the
05:47 Depot and if you're managing a
05:50 individual file you can upload and
05:53 replace the same exact file to ensure
05:55 that that file URL never changes now if
05:59 we were to look at the content side will
06:01 notice that the gallery and the
06:04 slideshow stacks are tied to the CMS gal
06:07 ID of a gallery so in this instance we'd
06:10 set up the gallery ID to be gallery
06:12 inside the admin page and we set up the
06:15 CMS ID to match that so that will be
06:17 displayed on our content area same thing
06:23 with video and file and file Depot they
06:26 all work just as magically as the other
06:29 ones simply tie it to the same CMS ID
06:32 and the content will be displayed on
06:34 your web page
06:36 so let's quickly review some of all the
06:39 stacks that
06:40 are included inside total CMS again just
06:43 as we saw in the first video we have two
06:46 sets of stacks available we have the
06:49 colored background icons are the stacks
06:51 that are for the admin interface and the
06:55 icons with the white backgrounds are the
06:57 stacks for the content of your webpages
07:00 if you notice all the icons are the same
07:03 they're just simply inversed so the feed
07:07 admin area is the feed icon and we have
07:10 the corresponding exact icon just
07:13 inversed
07:13 for our content pages so it's really
07:16 simple to display and figure out exactly
07:19 which stacks you need now some other
07:23 stacks that were included that we didn't
07:25 really review today
07:26 one is the protect stack and this is
07:29 similar to our page safe stack and this
07:32 stack allows you to actually apply a
07:35 login to lock down your admin pages for
07:39 total CMS this is important because you
07:42 don't want the average user just be able
07:44 to have their admin page open to the
07:46 world you want a password protect it and
07:49 lastly we have a select box what sell
07:51 out which allows us to actually define
07:53 predefined text snippets that our users
07:56 can select from when they add it to the
07:59 page so that does it everybody that is
08:02 the powerful total CMS and all of its
08:04 amazing features right now remember back
08:07 in video 1 we reviewed the base CMS
08:10 features of easy CMS and the core of
08:12 total CMS and in this video we reviewed
08:16 everything that sits on top of that that
08:18 is a part of total CMS as you see it is
08:21 a lot of stuff and I just skimmed the
08:24 surface I didn't really dive into many
08:26 of the settings right but you should
08:29 know the concepts now it's really simple
08:31 you just use them as any other stack to
08:34 build not only your admin area in your
08:36 cup but you're content areas as well and
08:38 they're all tied to a simple CMS ID and
08:43 it just works
08:46 just publish and go everything works
08:49 inside rapidweaver without question
08:52 right it is very very cool
08:55 so I hope you enjoy total CMS if you
08:58 haven't go and download the free 30-day
09:00 trial you can use it for 30 days all you
09:03 want okay so you have no excuse to play
09:07 with it I hope you enjoy it it's really
09:10 gonna revolutionize how you and your
09:12 customers administer your webpages so
09:15 thank you very much everybody
