Table of Contents Introduction index.shtm Hierarchy Site Section Navigation and search Page

Introduction

Site configuration is done in three areas:

• index.shtm files (site and section options)
• nav folders (navigation and search options)
• content pages (page options)

index.shtm Hierarchy

index.shtm files are hierarchical and processed top to bottom based on the URL. For example, for the URL: http://example.org/foo/bar/page.htm, the following index.shtm files will be loaded in this order:

1. http://example.org/index.shtm
2. http://example.org/foo/index.shtm
3. http://example.org/foo/bar/index.shtm

When the same variable is defined in more than one of the processed index.shtm, the last value loaded in the chain is taken as the actual value.
