Website management is even easier:
To administer the website, simply point your browser to http://YOURSITE/admin.php and fill in the forms
Website text, meta-tags and even the layout can all be changed using only a web-browser
Text files are used for data-storage, making COINSoft Magician ideal when you do not have access to a database
The auto-generated site main menu can have non-linking items, as well as indented items, allowing you to easily organize your website navigation in a more pleasing way if you have many pages
The website name and page titles are normally displayed in larger text, but if you have images for the website name and page titles "COINSoft Magician" will automatically find and display them instead, whether .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, and even .bmp
You can change the features for the entire website via web-browser, and for absolute control over menu-order you can even modify the settings file directly via web-broweser. The settings file allows you to control:
Categories for links, merchandise and galleries
Multiple email addresses for the 'Contact Us' form
Menu options can be enabled, disabled, renamed and re-ordered, plus you can have your custom pages automatically added to the menu(s)
And much more...
To change the layout or placement of elements on your website, simply modify the theme's html and css files to display whatever you want, wherever you want. These files too can be changed using only a web-browser.
The text and meta-tags for all pages can be easily changed, without having to touch "COINSoft Magician's source-code files, and can contain standard html, javascript, or even php code ~ whatever you need. Adding, editing or creating text and meta-tags for the built-in pages and for any custom pages you create is done with a web-browser.
