Page Sets

Overview

Pages that have a similar purpose are grouped into sets and configured together. Pages are configured differently because the content varies based on the page type. For example, person pages are very different from chart pages.

The Layouts Section is divided into subsections, including a Default Layout subsection and one subsection for each Page Set. Values set in the Default Layout subsection appply to all pages except if the user alters the same property in the Page Set-specific subsection.

For each Page Set, the user can customize the Layout, the Static Content properties, and the Page Scripts.

Body Element IDs

For users who add User Styles to alter CSS parameters in Second Site, you can use Page Set-specific Body element IDs to restrict CSS rules to a particular Page Set. Second Site adds the IDs expressly for this purpose.

For example, you can change the color of H2 elements in the Main Page content with a Free Form User Style, as follows.

selector-1:
#mainpage #content h2
parameters-1:
color: #0000ff;

"#mainpage" in the selector limits the rule to pages in the Main Page Page Set, of which there is only one. "#content" limits the rule to the main content setion of the page. "h2" limits the rule to HTML H2 elements only.

One way to understand the selector is to read it backwards: H2 elements inside the content section of the main page.

You can copy the text above and then use the special paste command for User Styles to add it to your SDF file.
