Fastest path to raw html

Permalink
I'm a newbie user and I've inherited maintenance duties for a small site that has already been published.

I'm trying to add some tags for SEO and cannot seem to reconcile the Concrete context gui editor with adding a snippet of code before the </body> for each of our pages, which are the instructions from the SEO solutions provider I'm working with on a trial basis.

I only seem to be able to edit blocks within a page, and not the page itself nor the headers or footers.

How do I access and edit the raw html for each page of our site to add these SEO tags?

The are normally files located in /themes/<themename>/elements/header.php or footer.php and are not editable from within the c5 dashboard.

It all depends on how the theme is built but check /themes/<themename>/ for php files.

From the dashboard however you add html in tracking settings.

Click on Sitewide Settings from the dashboard, there is a spot enter tracking code, anything entered there will be placed before </body>

I think the very easiest way to add html inside the body tags of a page is by putting it into an html block in edit mode. But the tracker code spot is the best if the same piece of html needs to be on your entire site.

He wanted right before the </body> tag, so either editing the footer.php or using the tracker input is the best for that.

HTML block would go where ever there are areas, and there are most likely none right before the closing <body> tag.

Thanks,

Is there support documentation that specifically highlights the files that are not editable with the gui?

I don't currently have access to the files directly, and I'll need to either justify a request for it or document what needs to be done by someone who does have access.

Where things are editable are setup in the theme. The developer sets up areas, which become editable in the files I specified.

Look under documents and making a theme, there you can learn how it works.

Compounding the problem is the fact that I apparently don't have permissions for the Dashboard yet. We're working on that.

The tracking code was the only reason I had need of trying to edit the footer, so I should be good to go without needing direct access to the files.

Thanks again.
