Email Administration Page
This page manages "emails" that come into the system. The administrator then determines whether they
want to post the email to a certain area of their website by choosing "Posted" from the Posted column.
These emails are really just comments that are left by a user that are posted to a MySQL database. What you
see in the Email Administration Page is the results of the submissions.
Disscussion of the Email Administration Page
The Email Administration Page (Admin Page) is made up of two sections:
- Email Listing
- Email Reader
Email Listing
The Email Listing shows all the emails that are listed in a certain view. There are three views: New Emails,
Posted Emails and All Emails. The Email Listing also has a tool to page through all the emails. Moving the
mouse over the Current Page box will show all of the pages of emails that the view currently has. A certain
page can be specified or the next, previous, first and last commands can be specified.
Email Views
- The New Email view shows all emails that are not posted to the website.
- The Posted Email view shows all emails that are currently posted to the website.
- The All Email view shows all the emails in the system.
Ordering Email Views
Within a view the emails can be ordered by any of the email attributes (Posted, Name, Email Address, State or
Date) by clicking on the attribute’s column. This column will be highlighted to signify that it has focus.
Clicking on the column the first time causes it to order that column by ascending, clicking on the column's
attribute a second time causes the column to be ordered by descending.
Selecting an Email
Clicking on an email (a row in the Email Listing section) will cause it to be come highlighted and will then
display the contents of the Email in the Email Reader. Clicking again on the Name, Email Address or State
section of the email will cause it to be come editable. After making any necessary edits clicking off the
email will cause the email to be saved.
Posting an Email
Posting an Email is done by changing the status of the email from Not Posted to Posted. Once this done it is
instantaneously posted to the website. If you are in New Email view then the email will disappear from the
view (and will be able to be found in the Posted Email View)
Email Reader
The Email Reader is the section of the Admin Page that displays the content of the email when an email is
highlighted. The email body can be changed by clicking on the body text. The text then become editable and
can be saved. Clicking out side of the email body will cause the email body to be saved.
Deleting an Email
To delete an email first highlight it and then click on the delete link. This deletes it from the system.
