If your not wanting to navigate your way through the back end of your website or you don't have administrator permissions to access the back end, then an easy and quick way to edit and add new articles and blogs is in the front end editing screen.

Navigate your way to the Articles, News or Blogs page on your website & log in using your admin details sent by ConCom.

ConCom will have had to set you up with permission to add or edit articles - if we haven't done this yet, then please contact us or your web administrator.

Also if we have installed our Anti Hacker & extra security programs you may need the additional Username & Password, which we will have sent to you - if not, please get in touch with us and we'll forward these on to you.


After Logging in you will see underneath the login module some extra links as in the screens shot below

  • Add Item

  1. To add an item click on the add item link.
  2. Enter AntiHacker Username & password - if requested to do so (pop up or drop down box).
  3. Input a title relevant to the article.
  4. If  your title is not keyword rich, then add a keyword rich title in title alias - this will help in search engines.
  5. Add relevant tags, separated by a comma - only 3-5 relevant to whats going on in the article
  6. Select the category you want it to be added to - you will probably only have the choice of 1 or 2 categories.

  8. Add your article in the content box.
  9. Dont forget to click save!
  10. The article will now be visible on your site under the category you have selected, click the X to close the screen and check it

    I was wondering if you are familiar with front end editing issues with K2. I'm running J2.5.1, K2 2.5.4, and I've trying a few of the recent Rockettheme templates out. I have both a hosted site (offline)and a local install. I see the edit item link near the article title but it does not open up the editor. I've posted on both the K2 & Rockettheme forums but no resolution yet. Any thoughts?

    Thanks!
    Tom
