Finding pages on my FTP manager
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I want to be able to see and edit my pages on my FTP manager (Dreamweaver or Filezilla) and cannot find them! I can find the css no problem, but cannot find the actual files. Can someone tell me where to find these? Should be fairly simple, no?
I am looking to be able to edit, for example, my about page, or my contact page, but as it is seen in dreamweaver or filezilla. but i cannot find the actual pages in my file list. should they be listed? i don't see them in the place that you mentioned.
thanks for any help.

They won't be listed anywhere. I assume you are looking for something like
http://www.mysite.com/contact
This is something you have to edit from within the CMS. Login to your dashboard, go to the sitemap and then click on one of the pages and then "visit" in the upper left hand corner there will be an edit button.

In other words, the only place i can find these files is in the CMS? I won't be able to edit them any other way? (Aside from CSS). Please confirm this is true, cuz I would like to stop searching :).
And if there is a way to access them from my FTP manager, would love to!

If I understand well, you are mixing between a HTML website and a PHP website.
In a HTML site, which is static, you will find your HTML pages in the FTP manager.
But with a dynamic site such a those you can create with concrete5, the HTML file are created when a visitor comes on your site. The server builds the page according to the information it has : for example, if you are the administrator, the pages you see are different from the pages a simple visitor sees ("Edit" button, etc...). To create these pages, the CMS uses as the same time the CSS files (for the appearance) and the database (which contains all the text, images, etc...)
In fact, by definition, a CMS is a dynamic site, so the only way you can edit is is to log as the admin then click on the "Edit page" on the upper left corner.

So how can one customize and add code to the index page of a site? Or change/customize the footer?
I would actually like to add a script to run an "add to home screen" pop up when the site is launched on a mobile device. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

If so they would be in one of two locations:
/concrete/themes
or
/themes
If you are using /concrete/themes you should move your theme to /themes as /concrete/themes can get overwritten when you upgrade and /themes will not
