Help, advice and other information to assist users of the MKDoc 1.0 editor interface to create and manage documents and web sites.

Editor interface

How to login

In order to administer an MKDoc web site you need to login to the editor interface.

To do this you need to go to the address of the editor interface. The recommended way to set up the editor interface is to create a sub-domain, for example http://editor.example.com/, if your MKDoc site has been set up like this then you should be able to replace www with editor in the address bar of your web browser. If you don't know what the address of the admin interface is please ask the person who installed MKDoc.

The login interface looks exactly the same as the public view of a document but has the following form at the top of the page:

To login simply enter your username and password into the respective fields and then submit the information using "Login".

Remember that these are case sensitive. If you have forgotten your details please contact the person who is in charge of your MKDoc web site.

Editor menu

Once you have logged into the editor interface the only difference from the public view of a document is that you have a editor menu at the top of the page which looks like this:

Some options might not be available. For example the Delete option in the example above is not a link because you are only allowed to delete documents that do not have children.

Following is a brief explanation of all the options available in the editor menu:
