acs-admin/apm
), and
selecting "Load a new package from a URL or local
directory".
The Package Manager will retrieve the package code, place it in
your server's packages/editthispage directory, and
perform the necessary database setup. When that's done,
you'll need to restart your server to load all of the
package's tcl code.
Now you may test the package by visiting the Site Map (found at
admin/site-map), creating a new directory, selecting
"new application", and choosing Edit This Page. Within
that directory, anyone who has "write" permission will
see a link that takes them to the ETP interface from which they may
edit the content of the page.
However, you're not really having fun until you can modify your home page through your web browser. If you go the Main Site Administration page, and click on Parameters, you can set the URL for the main site, under IndexRedirectUrl. If you have mounted an Edit-this-page instance at /intranet, for example, you can enter intranet here, and requests for the main page (/) will be redirected to the Edit this page instance (/intranet).
Or, if you want requests for (/) to still go to /, then by entering the following commands, you'll set up your site so that Edit This Page can also serve pages at the top level of the URL hierarchy, including your home page. Doing this will not prevent access to the top-level admin pages; the acs-subsite package remains mounted at the top level.
cd /web/MYSERVER/www mkdir index-backup mv index* index-backup ln -s ../packages/edittthispage/www/index.vuh .
