OpenEdit Editing Tools

EnterMedia has a convenient UI built underneath the front-end UI for managing and editing files on the server.
To access these tools, you need to login to the EnterMedia webapp as an admin user. Once logged in, there should be a small grey box visible in the top-right corner of your browser display:
openedit-1
If you mouse-over this box, this edit menu should drop-down:
openedit-2

openedit-3  File Manager
The File Manager lets you manage files from the Root directory of the webapp. You can create, edit, delete, move, upload, download, or copy files through this interface. The main interface is shown in Figure 1. Notice the directory tree in the left pane. The directory tree allows a user to drill down into the folder hierachy by simply clicking on the folder name. You can expand the tree by clicking the blue arrow openedit-4 next to the folder name. When you select one of these folders, the main table view on the right is updated with all of the files and subdirectories within the directory you selected.

Above the main table view is the Option Menu which houses several actions which can be performed on the currently selected directory. Refer to Table 1 for a brief list of these options.

openedit-7 Live Mode
This is the "live" mode of operation for the webapp, meaning it is a preview of what the webapp looks like from an end-user's perspective.

openedit-9 Edit Mode
This mode looks a lot like "Live Mode", but it lets you edit HTML elements inline, and also comes with a handy toolbar.
openedit-10 Debug Mode
This mode is a more fine-tuned version that opens modification of all elements and regions on an HTML page.
