Hello!

In order to add a link to any of the uploaded files, type the text, which you would like to make a link later, then click the link tool "Insert a link" button on the text editor toolbar. This will open the link tool, where, as you start typing the first letters of the file name, you will be presented with a list of links of uploaded files, click on any of them to apply the link to selected text.

Hello!

We agree that it is really too difficult. Is this solution here better? If yes then apply this change soon in Astana design.

Tanel replied on April 06, 2009 10:48 to the question "How can I change my web site's size(resolution)?" in Edicy:

Hello!

Change of the design resolution means generally full redesign: new size for graphic elements and style sheets modification (new sizes for every elements). It is hard to implement this kind automatic tool so it isn't on our task list at the moment.

But with knowledge about some basics of web design you can do this by your self (first you can try to change sizes of your html elements in your style.css file (with For example.)

Hello!

Seems that you are modified your code so that some of your HTML code is broken (there is unclosed DIV tags and to much body-tags).

We recommend to use a HTML validation service to track down HTML mistakes: Markup Validation Service

Hello!

What is "sidebar" for you?

By the way if you want to add a new element into your design then there are 3 steps to follow:
1) You should add a new HTML element or block (div) into your layouts. If you want to use it in more than one layout then you can create a new component for your code and include it into layout.
2) Next you should add styling rules for your new elements into CSS file if needed.
3) If you need that some part of your content is editable then you can add a new area in the right place. For example: {% content name="my_new_area" %}

Tere! Lingi lisamiseks ei pea PRO olema. Tööriistade ikoonid asuvad tööriistakastis, mis ilmub siis kui klikkate mõnel teksti alal või teksti alasse lisatud pildi.

Lingi ikoon on pildil tähistatud punasega:

A comment on the question "kas lehele pandud pilte on võimalik linkida alammenüüdesse" in Edicy:

Tere! Linkimise tööriista ikoon on alumises reas vasakult viies ikoon, pildi ja tabeli ikooni vahel. – Tanel, on April 01, 2009 07:44

Tanel replied on March 30, 2009 12:58 to the question "I cant add footer to my page and can't find a file to change." in Edicy:

Hello! No it doesn't. You can add a new text area into your design (after "Langmenu" component in Buenos Aires).

For example:

< div id="myfooter" >
{% content name="myfooter" xpage="true" %}
< /div >


Same example but now the content of the area is "cross-page" - same in every page (good solution for footer).

< div id="myfooter" >
{% content name="myfooter" xpage="true" %}
< /div >


Remember that you need a CSS rule for "myfooter" element also.

Tanel replied on March 27, 2009 20:42 to the problem "Custom design code edit doesn't work!" in Edicy:

Hello!

I have to explain the design customisation process in Edicy a little bit.

If you press the "Customize current design" button for the very first time then a copy of layouts and files (images, stylesheets) of the current design is copied into your site.

If you switch back ("Pick new design") to some of our default designs (files and layouts of default designs are centralized) then the customized design remains in your site (this feature prevents you from deleting the customized design accidentally).

After picking up a new design and pressing again "Customize current design" you are switched back to the previously customized design - no new files are copied. It makes harder to investigate how our certain design is built up, but it prevents accidental deletion. We are planning to add later a way to "reset" or "delete" a customized design.

But so far you can contact with us by e-mail support@edicy.com and we can help to replace your customized design manually. And of course you can create a additional site by yourself, pick up a design you like and then choose "Customize current design".

For reference information about creating your own design, there's a full documentation available at Edicy Developer site.

Hello! In design Buenos Aires the cross-page "footer" area is just under the second level menus (at the right from content area) in "Common page" layout and next to "Latest news" section (at the rigth from it) in "Front page" layout. It is the same area that contains "Kontaktinfo" in your site.
