Page Management

Section «Pages» in the Admin Panel

In this section you can add or delete pages.
Pages are of two types:

• Regular — contain arbitrary HTML content.
• Functional — contain predefined data (for example: a list of recently viewed products, new items, cart, homepage).

Creating Pages

Click «Add Page».
If you want to create your own page without predefined functionality — select «Create Page».
Set the title, name (path), and text.

The page name defines its address. For example: home → home.htm.
This path can be used in the menu, site blocks, or other pages.

Editing and Formatting

Any HTML is allowed for formatting text.
For convenience, there is a built-in editor — activated with the «Editor» button above the text field.



In addition to text, you can insert widgets (list of articles, products, categories, etc.).
To do this, click «Widgets» and fill in the settings according to the instructions.

Functional Pages

To create such a page: «Add Page» → «Create Functional Page».
In the window that opens, select the desired type.

Example: the «Cart» page. It includes:

• a list of products added to the cart;
• text before checkout;
• text after a successful order submission (conversion code can be added).

Homepage

The homepage is also functional.
Create it via «Create Functional Page» → «Homepage».
Name: index.

Then in the «Pages» section mark it as the homepage.

Languages and Multilingual Support

The page path may contain a language. For example:
/en/home.htm — English version.

In the site settings (tab «Languages and Start Page») you can:

• enable mandatory addition of a language to the path;
• set the main site language (if the language is not specified).

Multilingual support is implemented via the «Page in Other Languages» field.
If you create a home page in different languages, specify the same value for this parameter (usually the ID of the first page).
When creating pages with the same name in different languages, the field is filled automatically.

Caching

The Hotlist.biz platform uses a smart caching system. It speeds up the site by saving the results of all requests, including page rendering.

How does caching work?

• Cache is cleared automatically.
• For certain elements (for example, widgets), updates may occur with a delay.

What to do if data on the page hasn’t updated

1. Open the page where the required widget or block is located.
2. If the changes did not appear, in the admin panel (bottom left) click the «Clear Cache» button.

Browser Cache

In addition to the system cache, the browser also stores images. After replacing images, you may need to:

• Press Ctrl + F5 to force reload the page.
• Or manually clear the browser cache.
