Directories for Categories or Webpages

Post by billyudi » Tue Sep 21, 2010 8:58 am

We would like to create directories for certain areas of our site. i.e all customer service pages would go into the /customerservice directory. Is there a way to still be able to create the content in merchant admin and putting it in different directories?

There isn't anything that should prevent you from doing this.
The content you create in admin is usually the scriptlets. You can assign any scriptlets to any page. It doesn't matter where the page is located.
For example you will see number of aspx pages in home directory, for example Default.aspx, Basket.aspx and etc; But you will also see pages in /Members/ directory. All pages refer to the scriptlets without any problem. You can create your own directory say /customerservice and put your files in there. Those files can then use any of the scriptlets available.

Got it, the scriplets I figured would be editable in the admin, but the pages to display the scriplets would have to be created outside the admin. Would that be correct?

Yeah you got it right. You need to create pages manually out side of the admin. Then create scriptlets in system and finally apply those scriptlest to the pages. Have a look at following thread about how to create a new page
