Structure

Collection

Collections are essentially indexes of content based on pre-defined search criteria or filters. (Visit the Collections section to learn how to create and manage Mura Collections.) The "Collection" display object enables you to quickly and easily place these "indexes of content" throughout your site and layouts so visitors to your site may find additional information they may find interesting or useful to them.

Follow the steps below to apply a Collection to a page or section of your site.

1. From the front-end public view of your site, hover over the pencil icon on the front-end toolbar and select Inline Edit.
   

   

2. The inline edit panel should appear on the right-hand portion of your browser.
   

   

3. Select the Collection display object, and then drag it to your desired area, such as above the main content region. As you drag the display object, drop zone target areas will highlight with either a red dotted box or red dotted line.
   

   

4. When you release the mouse button, the display object should appear on your screen, and the inline edit panel should display a form with configuration options. Additional options may appear depending on the selections made to various form elements.

Embed

An "Embed" display object allows you to enter custom "embed" code into a page or section of your site. For example, maybe you want to "embed" a video from a third-party hosting service such as YouTube or Vimeo. Sites like these often allow you to copy "embed" code specifically for this purpose. However, videos aren't the only type of content you might want to "embed" into your site, as the options for embedding content from third-party sites is endless.

Follow the steps below to apply an Embed display object to a page or section of your site.

1. First, you will need to obtain the "embed" code from your desired third-party site. In this example, we'll use YouTube's "Share" and "Embed" options for a Mura CMS video:
   

   

2. Be sure to copy the "Embed" code, and perform the following steps below.
3. From the front-end public view of your site, hover over the pencil icon on the front-end toolbar and select Inline Edit.
   

   

4. The inline edit panel should appear on the right-hand portion of your browser.

   • Select Navigation
     Select your desired "Navigation" option:
     

     

     
     Simply select your desired Navigation option from the list. "Standard Navigation" is usually a safe bet when you're unsure.

System

There are a variety of baked-in "System" display objects in Mura CMS including: Comment Form, Content Rater, Site Map, User Favorites, and User Tools.

Follow the steps below to apply a System display object to a page or section of your site.

1. From the front-end public view of your site, hover over the pencil icon on the front-end toolbar and select Inline Edit.
   

   

2. The inline edit panel should appear on the right-hand portion of your browser.
   

   

3. Select the System display object, and then drag it to your desired area, such as the right-hand column. As you drag the display object, drop zone target areas will highlight with either a red dotted box or red dotted line.
   

   

4. When you release the mouse button, the display object should appear on your screen, and the inline edit panel should display a form with configuration options.
   

   

   
   
   • Select System Object
     Choose a "System Object" from the options listed below:
     

     

     
     
     • Comment Form
       The "Comment Form" display object allows end users to add comments to content items within your site. This is especially useful for sections of your site such as "News" or "Blog" areas. If you apply Comment Form to a Folder content type, the form will not appear on the Folder itself, and will only appear on the child content items within that section of the site.
       

       

       
       
       Note: If you don't see the "Comment Form" display object listed as an option, an administrator will have to review the Comments Permissions section.
     • Content Rater
       A "Content Rater" allows end users to "rate" the content on a scale of five stars. Mura CMS tallies all ratings, and will display the "Average Rating" and total votes cast for the content item.
       

       

       
       
       Note: Content Raters are typically applied to a "Folder" content type so that the "rater" itself will appear on all of the children of the Folder. It will NOT display on the Folder itself, since these content types are typically used as "News" or "Blog" landing pages, and the landing pages (or Folders) aren't typically "rated" by users. This can be somewhat confusing because the Content Rater is "invisible" on the Folder when applied in this manner, yet "visible" on its children.
     • Site Map
       Mura CMS can display an auto-generated listing of content items within your site in two different formats: Default and Tree View.
       • Default
         The "Default" display format of the Site Map is essentially an unordered list, where child content is indented within the list.
         

         

       • Tree View
         The "Tree View" display format of the Site Map attempts to show the content items in a hierarchical structured view. 
         

         

     • User Favorites
       The "User Favorites" display object gives logged in users the ability to add content items to a list of their favorite pages so they can quickly and easily access these pages or areas of the site. Users also have an easy link to print the page they're currently viewing.
       

       

       
       If a user is not logged in, they will be prompted to log in to use the display object.
       

       

     • User Tools
       The "User Tools" display object is nearly identical to the "User Favorites" display object, except it also includes links to "Edit Profile" and "Logout" along with a welcome message.
       

       

   • Alignment
     You will need to select an "Alignment" from one of the options listed below:
     • Left
       

       

       
       
       • Selecting the "Left" option will reveal the "Offset" and "Width" menus. Simply select your desired Offset and Width.
     • Right
       

       

       • Selecting the "Right" option will reveal the "Width" menu. Simply select your desired Width.
   • Custom CSS Classes
     Enter the name of the custom CSS class.
   • Select the Delete button if you wish to to remove the System display object from the layout.
5. When you're done making edits, select your desired publishing option to save your changes.
   

   

Text

You can add a text object very easily to a page or section of your site.

Follow the steps below to apply a Text display object.

1. From the front-end public view of your site, hover over the pencil icon on the front-end toolbar and select Inline Edit.
   

   

2. The inline edit panel should appear on the right-hand portion of your browser.
   

   

3. Select the Text display object, and then drag it to your desired area, such as the right-hand column. As you drag the display object, drop zone target areas will highlight with either a red dotted box or red dotted line.
   

   

   
    
4. When you release the mouse button, the display object should appear on your screen, and the inline edit panel should display a form with configuration options.
   

   

   
   
   • Select Content Source
     There are two options for "Content Source": Custom, and Bound Attribute.
     • Custom
       • Select "Custom" and click "Edit"
         

         

       • You should now see an "Edit Text" window which contains a simplified HTML editor toolbar for basic formatting of your text. Simply enter your text, style it, and click "Update" to save.
         

         

     • Bound Attribute
       • Selecting "Bound Attribute" will reveal an additional menu option titled "Select Bound Attribute." Options include: Navigation Title, Title, Credits, Summary, and any custom fields created through Mura's Class Extension module.
         

         

       • When you select an attribute, the value will simply display on the layout wherever you've applied the display object.
   • Label
     You may optionally enter text for a label which would appear above the text.
   • Alignment
     You may select an "Alignment" from one of the options listed below:
     • Left
       

       

       
       
       • Selecting the "Left" option will reveal the "Offset" and "Width" menus. Simply select your desired Offset and Width.
     • Right
       

       

       • Selecting the "Right" option will reveal the "Width" menu. Simply select your desired Width.
   • Custom CSS Classes
     Enter the name of the custom CSS class.
   • Select the Delete button to remove the Text display object from the layout.
5. When you're done making edits, select your desired publishing option to save your changes.
   

   

Sorting Content Items

As mentioned in the Managing Navigation Menus section, Mura CMS auto-generates hierarchical navigation based on the way content is structured, and sorted in the back-end administration area's Content Tree View. 

For example, content items located immediately below the "Home" page may have a link auto-generated to it in the "Primary Navigation" area of the public-facing site. Only content items with "Nav (Display in Navigation)" set to "Yes" and "Display" set to "Yes" or if the current date falls within the schedule set under "Per Schedule" will be displayed to end users.

In the above photo, you'll notice a link to "Site Map" and some of the other content items listed in the prior image don't appear in the primary navigation because the content items have either the "Nav" or "Display" options set to "No." This concept applies anywhere navigational elements are generated by Mura CMS.

Modify View

From the Content Tree View, just above, and to the right of the content listing area, you should see a "Modify View" button.

Clicking this button will reveal a number options which vary based on which section of the site you're currently "zoomed" in to. For example, if you're completely zoomed out to the "Home" view, clicking the "Modify View" button will only reveal an option to change the number of rows display.

Note: For larger sites, Administrators may change the default number of rows to display (from 20) by going to Site Settings > Edit Site, and updating the "Default Rows (in Site Manager)" field. Content managers will have to log out, and log back in for the new setting to take effect.

The only way to sort "top level" content items, located directly beneath the "Home" content item, is manually using the "Drag and Drop" method. To learn how to manually sort content items, please visit the Manually Sorting Content with Drag & Drop section.

Once "zoomed" into a specific section of the site, by clicking the three-dot menu icon and selecting "Zoom," "Sort Navigation" options will appear on the Modify View menu.

Sort Navigation Options

Listed below are the various options for sorting content items located below the "top level" content items. Please note these sorting options only apply to the direct children of the section you are applying the sort options to. For example, if you sort by "Menu Title" in the "About Us" section, and you create a new section beneath that which contains its own child content, the new section will default to sorting "Manually" and have its own sorting options and capabilities.

• Manual:
  • Sort the content items manually. This is the default setting. See Manually Sorting Content with Drag & Drop for more information on sorting content manually.
• Official Release Date:
  • Sort the content items by the Official Release Date field, located the content item's Publishing tab.
• Last Updated:
  • Sort by the date the content items were last updated.
• Created:
  • Sort by the date content items were created.
• Menu Title:
  • Sort content items by their Navigation Title, as found on the "Basic" tab, and selecting "Show Additional Titles."
• Long Title:
  • Sort content items by their Title field, as found on the "Basic" tab.
• Rating:
  • Sort content items by the "Content Rating" the content item has received from end users. To have higher rated content appear first, select "Descending" for the Sort Order.
• Comments:
  • Sort content items by the number of comments the content item has received from end users.
• Extended Attributes:
  • If your site has any custom class extensions, their extended attributes may also appear as potential sort options.

Once you have selected the sort criteria, you may choose to display the content items in either "Ascending", or "Descending" order.

Manually Sorting Content with Drag & Drop

The default Sort Navigation option for content items in Mura CMS is "Manual." In fact, top-level content, or content located immediately below the "Home" page, can only be sorted manually. Before attempting to sort content items manually, be sure the Sort Navigation is set to "Manual."

Follow the steps below to manually sort content items.

1. First, you must use the Content Tree View to sort content items manually.
2. Next, select the content item you wish to move by using a click, drag, and drop method. We recommend clicking between the three-dot menu and the content item title, then dragging it up or down, then releasing the mouse click when the item has reached its intended target area.
3. It's important to understand that to manually reorder "children" of a specific section, you must first "zoom" into that specific section. In the prior example above, you'll notice that moving the "About" content item selects all of its children as well, and moves along with it. The same would occur if you attempt to select a child of the About section while zoomed out to the "Home" top-level view.
4. Once you've finished manually re-ordering the content items, you must select the "Update" button from the notice that appears above the content listing to save the new sort order.The new sort order should now be reflected in your navigation menus on the front-end public-facing site.

Selecting New Parent

When you wish to move a content item to a new section of the site, you can quickly, and easily select a new "parent" for the content item. Follow the steps below to change a content item's parent, and move it to a completely different section of the site.

1. Select a content item to edit. Note, if you're editing from the front-end public-facing view, be sure to select "Full Edit" option.
2. Select the Basic tab from right-side menu on the Edit Content screen.
3. Click the Select New Parent button to reveal a search box and Search button.
4. Enter text into the search box and click the Search button to obtain a listing of content options. The first option in the list with the radio button selected is the current content parent. Simply select your newly desired option, and select your desired publishing option to save the new content parent.
5. The content item, and all of its children, if any, should now be located under the new content parent.

Creating Categories

To create categories, you need to go to the Categories section of the back-end administrator and follow the instructions below.

1. From the Categories section, select "Add Category"
   

   

2. You should now see the "Add Content Category" screen
   

   

   
   
   1. Name: This will be the name of the category
   2. URL Title: Leave this blank to have Mura automatically generate your category a URL title based on the name you chose. Or, feel free to enter your own unique URL title.
