Content Management
This section of the Administration Area will manage the sections and content of your WAP site. You can see the screenshot of the main page below.


Main WAP page

Sections in Wap Portal Server are generic and you can build as many as you want. To each section you can assign content items. You can for example have sections like News, Articles, FAQs etc. In addition to sections with content listing you can create plain pages linked directly from the main menu. Several built-in components are also available (such as Guestbook, Web links, Poll and Contact form).

Sections
Here you can add or edit a section (title and intro text). The WML code is supported in the intro. Every new line will also be translated to WML new line (<br />).
You can choose whether you want to publish a section or keep it unpublished. Only published sections will appear in the main menu (when added).
Editing and deleting a section is also pretty intuitive.

Section items
On this page you can create content items and assign them to a section. UBB code is supported in items as the long articles are automatically split up in multiple pages in the frontend. Built-in javascript function will help you with adding UBB code to your content.
All section items can be easily managed and navigated in a paged admin with reordering and publishing functionality.

Main menu
In this area you can add your sections and components to the main menu. Besides sections you can create as many custom WAP pages as you want.
Just click on New and select a Typed Content. These pages are also split up in the runtime so only UBB is supported for formatting.
Menu items can easily be reordered and published from here.

Links
In this component you can post WAP links. Click on the Add Link and type Title and Address. You can select appearance ordering and whether you want link to be published. When you are finished click on the Submit button.
To edit or delete a link click on the Title in the left list to select it first.

Guestbook
Your WAP visitors are able to post their comments on the WAP site. In this section of Administration Area you can edit or delete their comments. Powerful admin lets you delete multiple entries at once and view user's IP adress and submission time.

Contact
This section is for your contact information. Type the text you want to appear on the contact page. You can select whether you want the contact form to be active or not. The contact form is used by visitors to send you an e-mail from your WAP site. The e-mail address provided in Site info will be used.

Poll
Poll gives your visitors possibility to vote in the surveys you publish on your WAP site. You can have as many polls as you want and visitor can select any of those, vote in it and view the results. The latest poll is displayed as head poll.
In this section you can add and edit polls, its alternatives and counts.

Note
You should keep in mind that suggested size limit for a WAP page is: 1397 bytes.
Size should not exceed this limit to ensure it will work with all devices on the market.
Therefore the long content items and typed pages are automatically split up in multiple pages. Every such page is around 500 byte long. When user is reading the article on a WAP device he can then see Prev/Next links for next pages.
