Getting Started with Flux CMS
This guide will give you an overview of what you can do with Flux CMS and how you do that. It just consists mostly of links to the actual documentation, but is hopefully a good way to get into Flux CMS.
Login and admin essentials
First you have to log in. Just append /admin/ to your URL and you will get the Login Dialog. You can also recover your password there, if you forget yours (but that only works, if you added a password in your user account. For Freeflux Accounts, that's done automatically).
After you logged in, you see the general Admin Interface. On the left side, you see the Navigation Area, which will be pretty important, therefore it's useful you get familiar with that. On the right, there's the Editing Area, that's the place, where you edit the Content of your CMS. And last but not least on the top right, there's the Quicklinks Dropdown for easy access of some features (mainly database forms currently).
Setting your site up (Site Options)
You can set up different things up for your installation from within the admin area (more is available in conf/config.xml, but Freeflux Accounts can't edit that). Go to Quicklinks and choose the first entry Site Options. Here you can give your site a different name, a different subtitle, choose a different theme, define the used languages and the default language and some more options. See the Site Options section in the documentation for more details.
Blogging
After you set up your site, it's now time for writing some content. An easy start is the Blog Plugin. You can either blog with your web browser (only really works with Mozilla/Firefox right now, IE and Safari should be fixed soon), or via email/mms/mobile phone and very conveniently with a weblog client like ecto. The three links will show you, how that exactly works.
Blog Categories
The Blog Plugin supports nested and multiple categories. "Nested" means, that you can have subcategories (for example the category "Operating Systems" with the subcategories "Linux" and "OS X"). "Multiple" means, that you can assigne one post to more than one category. See the blog docs for more details.
Blogroll / Blog Links
You can maintain your own blog roll list in your blog. You can have different categories and add links to them. The links are currently edited via "Quicklinks" -> "Links" and "Links Categories".
Blog Comments
Blog comments can be edited at "Quicklinks" -> "Post Comments". Furthermore they can directly be deleted on the blog edit start page. Flux CMS has sophisticated spam filtering. It puts the submitted comments into 3 categories, depending on the amount of links/blacklisted urls/etc. Trackbaks are also always moderated currently, therefore you have to "approve" them manually. See the blog comments docs for more details
Editing static content (XHTML)
Static content in Flux CMS usually means XHTML resources for content that doesn't change each time. There are currently 3 different editors available to edit your XHTML content. BXE for valid XHTML/XML editing (Mozilla/Firefox only), Kupu for "just" XHTML editing (Mozilla/Firefox and WinIE) and Oneform for "whole source in one form without any checks" editing (all browsers). To choose one of the editors, simple click on the resource icon (or right click on the resource name) in the left navigation area and choose the one you want. See the resources doc for more details.
Choose your editors carefully, with Oneform you can make your document unreadable, when you save non-well-formed documents (but usually that's easily fixed) and if you edit in Kupu, you may not be able to open the same document in BXE again, as Kupu doesn't always save valid (but well-formed) XHTML. You should also not load documents with non-XHTML elements in Kupu, as they can get lost then. This is particularly true for the contact page.
Galleries
Managing and creating galleries in Flux CMS is quite easy. Basically, it just takes the files from one directory and displays the pictures in it. You can upload them via the admin interface with the "Create new file" command or upload whole zips with the "Create new archive" command. In the default installation, there's already a gallery pre-configured for you (in the /gallery/ collection) See the galleries docs for further details.
Uploading static files (images, docs, pdfs, etc)
You can either upload single files with the "Create new File" option, or upload whole zips with the "Create new archive" option. Both plugins are only available in the /files/ and /themes/ folder and gallery folders.
Working with collections and resources
How to create, delete, copy and edit collections and resources is explained in the collection section and the resources section of the user docs.
