Novice questions: password, site name, new tab

Alexandre Bergel
Dear List,

I am setting a Pier image and bumped into problems:
        - how can I change the top most title. I have "Your Pier". How can I  
modify it? Or even better add an image
        - how the admin password may be changed?
        - how a new tab may be added? For now, I have "Home", "Blog",  
"About". What should I do to have a new entry here?

These points do not seem to be addressed in the FAQ. I haven't checked  
in the mailing list archive. Is there a search somewhere?

I would be delighted to expand the FAQ with your answer.

Cheers,
Alexandre

That is part of the "environment" of the page (or the template). You  
can take a look at it by invoking the Edit Design command (or Ctrl+D  
on Mac). You will see that you actually have different environments  
for different pages (you see the name in the Location), but all embed  
(with "+") the /environment/header+ structure.

If you further navigate to +/environment/header+ using the sitemap at  
the bottom, you will get to a so called meta page. If you edit the  
page, you will see that it embeds +/environment/sitetitle+. This is  
the title that appears at the top. Navigate there and edit it to add  
whatever you want.

> - how the admin password may be changed?

Go to /systemmanagement and edit the user.

In the +/environment/header+ you will see that it embeds a +/
environment/menu+. Navigate there, and you will further see that if  
you edit it, it's not a page but it is a component. Then invoke  
Settings (or Ctrl+T) and you can add a new item in the list. The nice  
property of the Menu component is that it adds an "active" class to  
the most specific link that it finds in the text of the component.  
This is how we can render the active tab.

Cheers,
Doru
