Publishing Your Pages using CASCADE

Publishing Your Pages

Once you have finished your page (or an entire section of pages) you can publish them to the main Website, making them live for the world to see. To publish a single page, follow this procedure:

  1. Navigate to the page to be published.
  2. Click on the Publish tab at the top of the screen.
    "Publish tab" option
  3. There may be more than one destination selected at the top of the screen. The only one that should be checked is WEB.tamu-commerce.edu/WEB.tamu-commerce.edu. Uncheck any others.
    Instruction on destination select
  4. Click the Submit button.

Typically, it takes about 1 minute to complete publication of a single page. Once the page has published, the system will place a message in your message box on the Home page. You can navigate to the CMS Home page (Click the Home item in the uppermost menu bar of the CMS) to check your messages. You will probably have to refresh the browser several times until the published message appears. Once you have received the published message, you can navigate to your page on the actual Website to ensure that it has published the way you expected.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When you publish a page, the left menu bar and all other links will be recreated on the main Website as if the files are where the CMS would expect them to be. If you are publishing one page in a section of your Website and there are other pages in that section which are not yet published at all, you will probably get a dead link on the main site. For this reason, we highly recommend that you publish all pages in a section when creating a new page. If you have already published a section and are simply updating an existing page, single page publication is fine.

Publishing a Folder and All Pages Within

You can publish an entire folder of pages (and all of the pages and folders within that folder, etc.) by just performing the publish procedure on the Folder instead of the page. The procedure is the same as the procedure for a single page (detailed above).  Note that publishing an entire folder can take longer than a single page, and the length of time varies depending on the amount of content in the folder.
