CHAPTER 1

This chapter describes your first steps with Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard.

In this chapter:

Overview of Main Steps to Create Site.. 10 Logging In to Plesk Sitebuilder... 10 Learning Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard Interface.. 11 Starting to Work with Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard.. 16 Getting Help.... 17
Overview of Main Steps to Create Site
As a rule, the process of creating a web site includes three main stages: planning, implementation, and web site updating or maintenance. Planning: The first and most essential stage in any project is planning. Before starting with Plesk Sitebuilder, think about the purpose of your web site and its target audience. After this, decide where your web site will be stored, or, in Internet terminology, hosted. This stage is beyond the scope of this document. Since Plesk Sitebuilder is often provided in a bundle with a web hosting package, we assume that you already have a web space for publishing your site. Then, you create a detailed structure of your future web site and prepare its contents, including text information and graphics. The planning stage is extremely important because it eventually determines the usefulness of your web site. Implementation: The next stage is the implementation of your web site. The five-step Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard takes you through the entire process of creating your site, from initial design to publishing and maintenance. The following is an overview of the main steps required to create a web site using Plesk Sitebuilder: To create a web site, open Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard. You can start working with the Wizard anonymously, without supplying login and password. Complete the first four Wizard steps (choose the site type, select the design, create the site structure, add web site content including text, graphics and site modules and provide extra information for search engines). Go to the Publish step and start the publishing process. If you do not have a Plesk Sitebuilder account and work with the program in demo mode, the site you create is temporary and cannot be published on the Internet until you register and buy hosting for your site. Once you are done with this, you can log in to Plesk Sitebuilder and assign your trial site to your account, thus making it possible to permanently publish your site on the Internet.

Figure 2: Searching for Objects To sort list items by a certain parameter in ascending or descending order, click the parameter's title in the column heading. The order of sorting will be indicated by a small triangle displayed next to the parameter's title.
Figure 3: Sorting Objects In some lists, you can filter items by a certain attribute by selecting one of them from the drop-down list (for example, on the Orders tab of your eShop page, you can filter out orders of certain status: New, Paid, Processed, Backorder, Completed, Cancelled, Failed, or Any).
Figure 4: Filtering Objects
Note: All the above described principles also apply to the list of design template categories on the Design step of the Wizard. For information on using these options on the Design step, read section Creating Site Design (on page 19). To choose a list object for further operation, select the check box to the left of the object's name.
Figure 5: Selecting Particular Objects in a List To choose all objects in the list, select the check box at the head of the column.
Figure 6: Selecting All List Objects at Once To perform operations with certain objects in a list, select the required objects and click an operation shortcut above the list (for example, Activate, Deactivate, Remove Selected, etc.). In the list of guestbook messages, the status of a message is indicated by icon in the Status (S) column (not archived or archived ). In most lists, individual operation shortcuts are displayed for each item. For example, for each product category on the Categories tab on the eShop page, there are arrows ( and ) used to change the order in which the categories are displayed on the site page; and the Edit icon used to open the categories in editing mode. In most lists, you can configure or edit a list object by: Clicking the object name, if it is clickable (for example, the post names on the Content tab of the Blog page) Clicking the Edit icon for this object in the list (for example, for a product on the Products tab of the eShop page)
In some lists, you will also see shortcuts to managing the objects' dependent items such as the View/Edit Comments shortcut for each blog post on the Content tab of the Blog page.
In most object lists in the Wizard, you will find default objects created for your convenience, which you can delete or reuse at a later stage.
Starting to Work with Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard
The Overview page provides quick access to and contains short description of each of the five steps required for creating a site in Plesk Sitebuilder.

When you move a first level page Up or Down, all dependent second level pages are moved together with it. Note: In Plesk Sitebuilder, modules can be only first-level pages in the site structure, and cannot have dependent second level pages. The only exception is the File Download module, which you can set a second-level page, but you cannot depend other pages on it.
Figure 19: Changing Position of Pages

Renaming Pages

To rename a page: 1 Select the page in the Your site structure box and click Rename.
Or just double-click the page's name to make it editable.
2 Provide a new name for the page. 3 Press ENTER.
If you choose to rename the page at a later stage, you can use the Page title field on the Edit step of the Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard.
Figure 20: Renaming Pages
Hiding Pages in Site Navigation
You can make certain pages invisible in site menu. The page which you choose to hide will be accessible only by clicking a link placed on other pages of your site (or wherever you would like to place it). Note that when a site visitor actually accesses a hidden page, it appears in the site menu, and when they switch to another (not hidden) page, the hidden page disappears again. To hide a page in the site navigation menu:
1 Go to the Edit step. 2 Go to the desired page. 3 Clear the Show this page in site map check box.
Hidden pages are highlighted with grey color in the Site map area and in the site structure on the Pages step.
Figure 21: Hiding Pages in Site Navigation You can hide both first and second level pages. To understand how hiding pages correlates with pages hierarchy, see the example below: Let the site structure look as follows: Page 1 Page 2 (hidden) Page 3 Page 3.1 (hidden) Page 3.2 Page 4.1 Page 4.2 (hidden)

Page 4 (hidden)

To understand the dependency of pages' visibility and position in the hierarchy, see the table below. Active Page*

* active page is a page where the site visitor currently stands

Removing Pages

To remove a page from the site map, select the page in the Your site structure box and click.
Note: You cannot delete all pages from the Your site structure area. In case you need to clear the space - for example, before setting up a completely new site structure, we recommend to select all pages, except one, delete them, add the necessary pages to the site, and then delete or reuse the old page.
Figure 22: Removing Pages
Choosing Site Language, Currency, and Format of Numbers, Time and Date
In Plesk Sitebuilder, you can create a site in the language which is different from the language of your Wizard interface. The desired language is selected on the Pages step of Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard. The choice of the language determines the format of numbers, the site currency and price format, and also the format of date and time records everywhere on your site.

An external link is a reference in a hypertext document to another document on a different web site.
To insert an external link: 1 Type/Select the text which you want to set as a hyperlink to another web resource. 2 Click the Insert/Edit Link icon.
Figure 26: Inserting an External Link
3 On the Link Info tab, select URL from the Link type list. 4 Select the protocol from the Protocol list.
The available selections are: http:// https:// ftp:// news:// <other>
5 In the URL field, enter the web address to which the link will point. 6 On the Target tab, select the way the link should open from the Target list:
To open the link in same browser window (the target page replaces the page of your site), leave the Target option in its default value <not set>, and leave the Target Frame Name field blank.
To open the link in the new browser window, select New Window [_blank] from the Target list. To open the link as a pop-up window, select <popup window> from the Target list, and specify the parameters of the pop-up in the Popup Window Features area below. Note: Other options in the Target list have been designed to work with the HTML Frames technology, which is currently not used on Plesk Sitebuilder sites. On non-frames sites, all these options open the link in the same window.
7 If you wish to specify additional attributes for the link, enter them on the Advanced tab:
Id, this attribute assigns a name to the link. This name must be unique on the page. Language Direction, this attribute specifies the base direction of directionally neutral text. Direction can be Left-to-right or Right-to-left. Access Key, this attribute assigns an access key to an element. An access key is a single character from the document character set. Name, this attribute names the current link as an anchor, so that it may be the destination of another link. The value of this attribute must be a unique anchor name within the current page. Language Code, this attribute specifies the base language of the link's attribute values and text content. Tab Index, this attribute specifies the position of the current element in the tabbing order for the current document. The tabbing order defines the order in which elements receive focus when navigated by the user via the keyboard. The tabbing order may include elements nested within other elements. Advisory Title, this attribute offers advisory information about the link. The information is displayed in the status bar of the browser when the mouse hovers over the link. Advisory Content Type, this attribute gives an advisory hint as to the content type of the content available at the link target address. It allows user agents to opt to use a fallback mechanism rather than fetch the content if they are advised that they will get content in a content type they do not support. Stylesheet Classes, this attribute assigns a CSS class name or set of class names to the link. Linked Resource Charset, this attribute specifies the character encoding of the resource designated by the link. Style, this attribute specifies style information for the current link. The information should be formatted as follows: Content-Style-Type: text/css.

Only after you, as the online store owner, manually change the customer's order status to Processed or Completed, the quantity of items in the order is subtracted from the stock quantity record. If later you change either of these two statuses to any other order statuses in Plesk Sitebuilder (Backorder, Failed, Cancelled, etc.), the order quantity is added back to the quantity record.

CHAPTER 7

Publishing your site as an anonymous user If you do not have a Plesk Sitebuilder account and work with the program in demo mode, the site you create is temporary and cannot be published on the Internet until you register a regular user account in Plesk Sitebuilder and buy hosting from your Plesk Sitebuilder provider. On the Publish step of the Wizard, you will see a summary of your site details which may include the following information: The life-time of your trial site, i.e. the period during which it will be stored on the Plesk Sitebuilder server. The site preview link: the link to your temporary site as it is displayed to the visitors. You may send this link to your friends, for example. The link to your temporary site in editable mode. This link opens your site in the Wizard. You may need this link if you decide to register in Plesk Sitebuilder and upgrade your temporary site to a regular one. Any supplementary information considered to be important by your Plesk Sitebuilder provider, for example, instructions on how to obtain a regular user account in Plesk Sitebuilder and buy hosting services.
If you wish to send this information to your e-mail address, enter the address in the field at the bottom of the page and click Send. To open the trial site in your web browser, click Visit Site. The site is available during its life-time period, which is determined by your Plesk Sitebuilder administrator.

Figure 105: Publish Step Look for Anonymous Users
Publishing your site as a regular Plesk Sitebuilder user If you are a registered Plesk Sitebuilder user, follow the guidelines below to publish or publish your site.
To publish your site: 1 Go to the Publish step. 2 If your Plesk Sitebuilder administrator has already specified the publishing settings for your site (or you have done it yourself in your Administrator Panel), just click Publish. If publishing settings are not specified, perform steps 3-8.
If you see a message telling that the publishing settings are not configured, contact your Plesk Sitebuilder administrator for assistance. If you see an error message after clicking Publish, contact your Plesk Sitebuilder administrator, or follow the link to the publishing details screen (if provided) to know the reason of the failure.
3 In the Edit publishing settings section, select a publishing mode (the list of available publishing modes is configured by your Plesk Sitebuilder provider):
FTP - publishing site to an FTP server. VPS - publishing site to a Virtuozzo Container. XCOPY - publishing site using the XCOPY technology.
Figure 106: Selecting Publishing Mode Note: 1. VPS publishing mode is used for publishing to servers running Parallels Business Automation, Standard. 2. We recommend using XCOPY technology for publishing on local Plesk Sitebuilder host only, as this method is insecure and requires writing permissions on the specified publishing location.
Plesk Sitebuilder administrator can prohibit users from editing publishing settings. In that case publishing settings will be displayed to you in read-only mode.
4 If you select FTP publishing mode:
In the Host field, specify the host to which you want to publish the site. If the maximum number of hosts allowed by your license is limited, select a host from the list. The list of available hosts is configured by your Plesk Sitebuilder administrator. If the number of hosts allowed by your plan is Unlimited, you can specify the IP address or DNS name of any FTP server you have at your disposal (make sure that the server meets the requirements (see page 169)).

2 If you wish to preview the changes as they appear on your site, click the Preview site link. 3 If necessary, revise the settings in the Edit publishing settings section.
Important: If a site contains modules, we do not recommend changing the FTP Login for FTP publishing mode. Changing your FTP login will change the home directory of the site, and the modules data, which is stored in the former home directory, may be lost. If you have access to your publishing server, you can move your modules data manually from the former home directory (the path on the server will be [Sitebuilder sites directory/Login1/Working directory]) to the new home directory ([Sitebuilder sites directory/Login2/Working directory]). If you have no access to the publishing server, or insufficient permissions for moving files, leave the FTP Login field as is, or contact your Sitebuilder administrator for assistance. If you see a notification that the publishing settings have been changed, you have an option of returning the settings to their previous state. To do so, click Revert Publishing Settings at the bottom of the section.
Figure 109: Reverting Publishing Settings to Their Previous State If you do not wish to display the Edit publishing settings section again, click the icon to close the section. The next time you access the Publish screen for this site, the section is not displayed.
4 To apply changes to the site without republishing the whole site, leave the Republish the entire site content option unselected.
Select this option, if you wish to recover your site in case it has been destroyed or damaged at the publishing location.
5 Click Publish, or place your mouse cursor in one of the fields and press ENTER.
Requirements to Host...169

Requirements to Host

The requirements imposed upon a publishing server depend on the type of sites to be published on this server: static or dynamic. In Plesk Sitebuilder, a static site is a site which contains only static HTML pages created with the help of WYSIWYG editor, and does not contain modules - except for the Script and Flash Intro modules. There are no special requirements to a host used for static sites publishing. A dynamic site is a site with dynamic pages: a site containing at least one module (except for the mentioned Script and Flash Intro). To guarantee correct operation of dynamic sites, make sure that the publishing location meets the following requirements: PHP version 4.3.9 or later is installed on the publishing server. PHP supports: The ionCube PHP Loader 3.1.15 or later DOM XML with XSLT support or PHP XSLT extension (Sablotron) Multibyte string functions (mbstring extension) Zlib compression functions (zlib extension) Session handling functions support (session extension) SQLite 2.x with UTF-8 encoding support GD library 2.0.1 or later default_charset = UTF-8
