How do I create sub-pages or sub-folders?

As a resource for this specific enquiry and it may add other ways of considering your issue. Please have a look at hexham.info. Lee has recently created this site and it's a service oriented site. You may get some great ideas there

Yes, Ruth.
I looked at hexham.info and it looks like this site sub-pages are all directly below ".info/", like my site.
For example, Accountants is linked to under Business.
But the URL is "...info/accountants.php" and not "...info/business/accountants.php". So Accountants is directly under the Index page, not under the Business page.

I'm trying to accomplish the latter.

To create sub-pages here's a tutorial.

To create sub-sub pages then repeat this again on any and relevant sub-pages created.

Guys,

Thank you for your replies but this isn't what I'm trying to do. I read the tutorial and I've also read these replies from you to other users.

I'm trying to place pages underneath other pages, not just inderneath the Index page.

Here's another example.
When you visit cnn.com, you arrive at "http://www.cnn.com/"
When you click on "WORLD", you arrive at "http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/"
So far, so good.
Now, if you click on "EUROPE" within the WORLD section, you arrive at "http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/europe/" --> notice "europe" comes after "WORLD".
You DON'T just arrive at "http://www.cnn.com/europe/". "Europe" is under "WORLD" because there's some sort of hierarchy.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Yes. I understand jess.

If you first create your sub-pages following the directions then you would simply open one of the sub-pages and create another set of sub-sub pages within this. That means your hierarchy will appear without equivocation as First level/Second level/third level.

if you need specific instruction please get back to us. The first thing though is to create your main pages then your sub-pages.

After this you create your third level. OK?

OK, thank you for understanding.
I have about 100 pages, all listed under hillslist.info/...
There are 12 pages in the navigation menu. So those are the only pages I would want in the 2nd level. The rest I would want under those 12.

And that is where I need some instruction.

gotcha,

would you mind if I looked at your sites information. I can do that from here and it doesn't require anything from yourslef for me to access. ?

Sure, np.

It is jesse.

Withinhttp://www.hillslist.info/services.php

Create these pages:

1. Local home & garden:
Inside:

2. local Home & garden
outside.

3. Garden

4.cLocal Business Services

5. Local Pet Services

6. Educational Services

7. Local Kid & Senior Services

8. Local Health Services

9. Local Personal Care Services

10. Local Safety Services

and any others that you want to

You do this simply by following the tutorial.

Now when you have completed that

As an example
Choose your new page

local Pet services

and create 5 new pages in this page:

The pages being:

Cats/ Kittens (Walkers, Sitters, etc)
Dogs/ Puppies (Walkers, Sitters, etc)
Grooming
Shelters
Veterinarians

They would be created using the same outline as used for creating your pages prior.

I could have misunderstood, but I think Jesse is talking about changing the url... where as...

Local home and garden
inside
appliances

would read...

hillslist.info/local-home-and-garden/inside/appliances.php

instead of hillslist.info/appliances.php

But if Jesse is talking about creating sub-pages, my site's probably a pretty good example as I go pretty deep into it.

I guess I'm not getting how to create pages "within" a page.
And since my site has so many pages, I'm hoping I won't have to recreate most of them.

to create a page within a page just means to create a page and to provide a link to that page from another page...

create four pages...
Main Page of this particular topic (should appear in menu)
Sub-page 1 (link to sub-page 2)
Sub-page 2 (link to sub-page 3)
Sub-page 3 (link to sub-page 4)

did you look at my site? http://youcanneverbetoosmart.synthasi...

Ok Jesse.

In the builder; Create a new page. Give it a name of one of the new sub-pages you wish to create. make sure that the page is "out of the Menu"

Place the contents in the page that are relevant

Save the page.

Go to your mater page one higher in the hierarchy.

Add the name of the new page just created as text on this page where you want this sub-menu to appear.

Highlight this new name. You will see the text editor at the higher part of the page. On teh text editor bar you will notice a smal icon loks like a chain link. Click this. The link dialogue will open. The very first option is to link a page. Click the little button on the RHS with the three dots. This will now display all teh pages in teh builder. Select you new page that you just created previously. Click OK. Save.

That's the process of creating and linking a newly created page.

is this OK ?

If your pages are already created. Then all you have to do is link them to a sub-index page. This process is that described for linking the page. So you would create a list of the names of the new pages.
Link each name to a page. That's it.

I feel like I'm on an episode of Punk'd.

Peter - it seems like you're describing the process of creating a text link to a page. My site already has many internal links. How will this change what I see in the address bar?

In the "Services" page, when you click "Lawn Care" you arrive at:
http://hillslist.info/lawn-care.php

Instead of that, I would like people to arrive at:
http://hillslist.info/services/lawn-c...

Notice how "lawn-care" comes after "services".

By the way, Yola seems to be down.

Yola is doing an upgrade at this time. Keep an eye on Moniques thread almost at the top of the postings. She will tell us what's going on.

Yes. Jesse Sorry. I presumed that I had communicated effectively but not. Apologies.

From an overview perspective really what we're doing is re-organising aspects of your hierarchy.

The first thing is that there is no structure assigned within the Yola user framework it's purely upto the user to work this one out.

All pages are created equal. Some may be placed in the Main Menu. That is they're visible on every page of the site. Others can be taken out of this mode. They're generally used for the so called sub-pages within the hierarchy. The only way to navigate to these is with created sub-menus. These sub-menus a re generally created with text-page links.

You could create a hundred pages and then by selecting each one asssign it to a specific link in any hierarchial order. the only restiriction there is that you need to create higher orders before sub-orders (otherwise you get lost).

So if you have pages already created but wish to change the link that is also done by editing the text-page link. if there are pages not yet created you would have to create them. Once again I would suggest that you start at the highest level and work down through a line. Then another and so on.

I was wondering about this too... i didnt think to ask

Jesse,

For your second and third order menus you have to create these manually. You can't use the auto menu feature. that's why you take them "out of the menu"

Your address bar will only show two orders ever. Your domain/name of page.php, irrespective of the hierarchial order.

That's because all pages are created equal. Even embedded pages

Thanks, Monique, for understanding the question.
That's all I was trying to do.
I thought it was a simple question, but it has gone on for a bit, hasn't it (2 days and 37 replies...).
OK, my next mini-mission is to find more about "www/url.com/page1.php/page1.1.php..."

FYI, I found you guys on Twitter - sweet! http://twitter.com/YolaWeb
You guys should have at least 10x or 100x the number of followers!

Jesse, as i see it, this is answered - no its not possible to make a folder to put sub pages into - this only becomes pratical (or not pointless) when you have 100's of pages, Yola was not designed with huge sites in mind - its mainly designed for hobbie/family sites -- only because its a) so easy to use and b) so good at what it does, do you get the likes of me and you trying to push its capabilities.

Although it would be nice - i would like hexham.info/business/accountant/BUSINESSNAME.php unfortuantly at this time its not possible.

Always look to the positives - now i can say to a business "tell your customers to go to hexham.info/BUSINESSNAME - sweet and short - its like a tiny url for them!

Good luck with your site - Lee.

Have a quick look at my site map page, it is in effect a custom hierachical clickable menu thing. I may be what you are trying to achieve.

Simple to make, just use the link symbol (a chain) in the text widget and select the local page you wish to link to.
