2.2.4 Comment management



The management of comments provided by website visitors is carried out from the main back office menu.





The available options allow you to view comments according to their status, that is, according to whether or not they have been approved.
Only approved comments will be inserted into the website unless your website server administrator has configured the system diferently. By default, all comments are stored only in the back office prior to approval by a journalist or an editor.

In accordance with the selection of either option referred to, the approved or unapproved comments in the system will be listed.





In the header of each comment is information detailing the respective article, the author of the comment, the e-mail and whether the comment has already been approved, consequently the editor or person responsible for such approval.

The command bar located below the comment may contain the following options:

  • Approve/Disapprove comments

  • Create article
    The option create article allows you to change a comment into a website article. From the moment this option is chosen the comment text will be inserted into the article editor thereby allowing its editing and saving.

  • Delete
    The delete option definitively eliminates a comment from the system.

    Users with editorial access also have the following option available:
  • To edit comments
    This option allows changes to the text of a comment. In order to validate any changes made, the “Save” button is to be pressed.





    2.2.5 Cache management



    The cache system of the Siteseed allows you to turn website pages into static pages for a certain period of . That is, the pages and respective information contained by a website are created from information stored in a database. Whenever a visitor to the website accesses one or more pages, these are instantaneously generated based on information within the database system. With the cache system, whenever a visitor accesses a page, the page is saved on disk, so the next visitor will see a static page. Hence, the system does not have to resort to the database. This translates into faster website response times, especially in periods when the rate of simultaneous website page hits is at a peak.

    With the cache system activated, visitors to the website do not immediately view changes made to page articles or objects from the backoffice. They only view such changes after a cache renewal has been completed. Hence, the cache management menu allows you to remove static pages, forcing the system to update them incorporating the most recent changes made in the backoffice.

    There are two available options in the cache management menu:





  • Delete individual pages (forced ahead of established time)
    The cache editing option allows you to list all pages for which the system has already created static pages. If you intend to renew only one page of the website or a set of pages, then you should use this option.

  • Delete all pages (regardless of established Time To live set for the page in cache)
    By selecting this option all static pages that are in use on the website at that point will be eliminated. This option can only be used should you wish to use the entire website, or where it is not possible to identify which pages you intend to update via use of the previous option.

    Note: the cache duration is defined by the system administrator where the website is hosted. This facilities exist so that breaking news and urgent updates can be displayed on-line.
