The OnePoyle website system is designed for organisations wishing to maintain their own websites with minimal effort.

You benefit from exceptionally easy content maintenance, yet the resulting web site automatically retains a consistent, professional look and feel.

Reference sites [new windows]

* Guildford Choral [www.guildfordchoral.org/text.pl] The original development site
* U3A Guildford Photo Group [www.u3aguildfordphoto.org.uk/text.pl?home] A recent site showing many photographs

Background

Out of date web pages are of little use. The key design objective behind the OnePoyle website system has been to make it easy to keep a web site up-to-date.

Implementation is straightforward. The system can readily be applied to enhance existing websites or to launch new ones.

Implementation of a website may involve a new domain name, and if so, corresponding email addresses are available.

These pages give an overview. For more details, please see the full documentation

Website Update Utility

The Update Utility allows authorised persons to manage website content directly from a web browser. You can make changes from minor spelling corrections to complete new pages and to the look-and-feel (configuration) of the website.

Because of its advantages for this task, where a page is first prepared by a word processor, the use of Libre Office Writer is both recommended and assumed. Other word processors, eg Microsoft Word, have not been tested and are not supported, though they might work.

Questionnaire

The software suite includes a flexible questionnaire q.pl and a corresponding analysis application qa.pl.

Set up a questionnaire by editing a couple of configuration files and creating a questions file using the update application.

content management introduction

This page is the basic documentation for maintaining web page content. Refer to full documentation for additional detail.

The OnePoyle system takes care of web page layout using automatic formatting. Layout is defined once when the site is first created. Individual content pages are 'plugged in' to the predefined format.

Web page content is stored as 'text' files, created initially by almost any word processor (Libre Office recommended). Subsequent editing is done online with the Update Utility.

Here are examples of the main automatic formats:


_start table___

what you put in the file

what you see on the web


_row___

text
paragraph
made up from several lines

text paragraph made up from several lines


_row___

new paragraph created by a blank line

new paragraph created by a blank line


_row___

newline|b+
within a paragraph

newline
within a paragraph


_row___

put |i|something in italics-| etc

put something in italics etc


_row___

|m,name| email link (to your domain)

name@onepoyle.net email link (to your domain)


_row___

|l,home,home page| link to another page

home page link to another page


_row___

-list created by - at start of line
-line 2
continuing
-line 3
--sublist

* list created by - at start of line
* line 2 continuing
* line 3
  - sublist


_row___

|h|heading

heading


_end table___

If these formats don't do all you want, refer to automatic formatting specifications.

Other files you may occasionally need to edit:

* menus
* quotes
* configuration file

The help section includes additional reference resources, for example:

* testing
* filename standards
