2. Create a page structure

CMS -> Navigation -> Page structure

To link the article mandatory GTC query, there must be a link target that is created in the page structure.

• Create a new folder (first click on any folder, then click on the Create new folder button , see Fig. 3) or select an existing folder.

• Create a new page in the folder (Fig. 3).

• Set the action name terms_and_conditions so that the page is also linked in the mandatory query in the footer (Fig. 4).

• Switch to the Content tab to link an article or set up a redirect to an external page or document.

Link an existing article

Link a previously created article in the Content tab (Fig. 5):

• Module type: Article

• Module content: Please select an article here if an entry has already been created in the Articles menu item.

Create new article

CMS -> Navigation -> Article

If there is no article (= text/content) for the GTC, a new one can be created (Fig. 6):

• Select the desired article category (usually corresponds to the conference name, Fig. 6).

• Create a new entry by clicking on Add entry.

• Selection of the element (usually Rich Text Editor (RTE) element)

• Fill the tabs for the active languages with the GTC. The Standard tab serves as a fallback if there is no content in an active language. Attention: Even a space is considered content!

If a lot of content is planned in the form of articles, it can be useful to create several folders by creating additional (sub)categories in the parent folder (main category = internal event name), see #articlecategories.
