Introduction 1-3
You can then start making changes directly to the site using Site Studio Contributor. You can make changes and preview those changes before updating the site. Your
changes are saved in a file called a contributor data file that is stored on the content server see
Chapter 2, Getting Started With Contributor and
Chapter 3, Editing Web Pages in Contributor
. Alternatively, you can create and edit native documents such as Microsoft Word files, which are converted into web pages that appear on the Web
site see Chapter 10, Working With Native Documents
.
1.3 The Contributor Editor
The editing environment available on the web pages depends on the editor set up for use with Site Studio Contributor and the content type that is being edited text, image,
and so on. By default, the editor used with Site Studio Contributor is based on FCKeditor, which is a light-weight, JavaScript-based editor that does not require any
kind of installation on the client computer. Your content server administrator may have chosen to set up an alternative editor. If that is the case, your editing
environment may look slightly different than shown in this guide. Also, there may be minor differences in the editing experience for example, some editing features may
not be available or work slightly differently.
The Contributor application is launched by pressing a special key combination Ctrl+Shift+F5 by default on web pages that are managed by Site Studio and Content
Server and that the site designer has made available for editing by site contributors. Once launched, Contributor displays a special graphic next to each area on the web
page that can be edited.
Figure 1–1 Contribution Graphic
This graphic shows the name of the editable area, an edit icon, and a menu icon. To edit the selected area, click the edit icon or click the menu icon and choose the edit
option. As soon as you are done editing and save the data file, the Web site is updated to reflect the changes. See
Chapter 2, Getting Started With Contributor to learn more
about the Contributor editor.
