Admin > Code Generator

Using the Code Generator, you can quickly create some customized code for your index page and detail page viewers.

Below we will go through the steps to create the code for a News List page and Detail page.

Steps to create a News List (index) page:

  1. Choose News from the Select Section dropdown list and choose the Viewer Type radio button for List page. This will publish a page that shows a list of one or more records.
  2. Choose the Viewer Options for your "News" index. For example, in the "How Many" section, I will select the radio button for "Show 10 records per page..." and replace 10 with 5. Now the News index is limited to 5 records per page (with prev $amp; next page links).
  3. After all options are selected, click the "Show Code" button to generate the code.

Steps to create a News detail (article) page:

  1. Choose News from the Select Section dropdown list and choose the Viewer Type radio button for Detail page. This will publish a single record.
  2. Choose the Viewer Options for your "News" detail page (see . The default options are used in most situations but additional options are available for sites with unique requirements.
