Visual Editor - Page Elements

 

All changes user has done on the previous steps are immediately reflected on the Visual Editor screen. According to these changes the number of elements on the page may differ. Let's consider the possible types of the elements:

  1. Header. The special element on which place the custom code may be inserted (the header of your pages). For that you should create header.php file and put it into the Include folder. By default there is no header.

  2. Master table info. The special element on which place information about the master table may be inserted. For that user should set the corresponding settings on the Datasource Tables tab.

  3. Event on load. The special element on which place custom code that user added on the Events tab in OnLoad event may be inserted.

  4. Pagination. The special element that provides for the numbering of pages. It gives users the ability to step through a large number of database rows in manageable chunks instead of the whole lot in one go.

  5. Footer. The special element on which place the custom code may be inserted (the footer of your pages). For that you should create footer.php file and put it into the Include folder. By default there is no footer.

  6. Fields. Each field selected on the Choose Fields tab will be presented on the page by corresponding element and user is able to control its appearance with the help of "View as" or "Edit as" settings.

Sometimes users need to go back to previous steps to make new changes after they have changed the initial view of the page. In this case after repeating return to the Visual Editor screen an alert window will appear with the suggestion to reset the page.
