Now that your website is installed it is a good idea to <a target="_blank" title="(this link will open in a new window)" onclick="if (window.external) { window.external.AddFavorite(this.getAttribute('href'), 'My website in Safe Mode'); return false; } return true;" href="{1}">bookmark this link</a> to the safe-mode version. This link is useful if a major display problem develops when themeing or heavily customising your site, and you are in the rare situation where you want to disable your changes temporarily. In the rare event that you need to use the link, please note that it only works when logged in as a super-administrator and it cannot protect against all code changes.

<p>ocPortal is an extremely flexible system: it is possible to make sites that are completely unique in look and feel without progamming. After this wizard your site will still look generic in the same way that a word processed document made with a built-in template would. However, you will be able to further customise your site, with far greater control than is available here.</p>

What to expect from ocPortal

18.

ocPortal is built with 4 layers of control, all of which you have access to and all of which are fully documented; each successive layer provides more control, but requires more experience.<ol><li>Unexperienced computer users will be able to create a generic but rich website.</li><li>Creating a highly featured and visually unique website is possible for experienced computer users.</li><li>People with basic web developer experience and a good understanding of <acronym title="eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</acronym> will be able to make incredibly distinct websites.</li><li>People with moderate to advanced programming experience will be able to create totally new website features, or modify existing ones.</li></ol>ocProducts has a lot of experience serving a wide-variety of users &ndash; we've thought about just about every feature that more than a minority would want and implemented it out-of-the-box, but the needs of some users are very unique, which is why we offer so much control as well as own professional consultancy and support services.

In this step you will enter some configuration details for your site. Some default values have been chosen for reference, but you will want to replace them with values of your own. In further steps defaults will also be chosen, but you are more likely to leave those later defaults alone.

20.

In this step you will specify the status of various features. ocPortal is designed to be flexible enough to suit a wide audience, but powerful enough and of high enough quality to be able to meet everyone's advanced needs &ndash; it's best to only choose stuff here that you know you want.

21.

By default, ocPortal has two public zones (site sections): a &lsquo;Welcome&rsquo; zone and a &lsquo;Site&rsquo; zone. This subdivision is useful:<ol><li>for presenting an isolated welcome page before users enter the main site</li><li>to force users to join your site (possibly by paying) before they have access to all content</li></ol>If you do not want to force users to join and do not want a separate welcome page, choose the &lsquo;Single public zone&lsquo; and enable &lsquo;Full guest access&rsquo;.

In this step you will specify which of a selection of available blocks (positioned features which fit inside a box) you would like on your front pages and panels. A default arrangement has been chosen, but it is likely you will want a different one &ndash; corporate websites tend to use far fewer blocks favouring marketing copy and minimalism, whilst community websites tend to use lots.<br /><br />Once the wizard is finished it's likely you'll want to tweak your block arrangement, changing block parameters for example. This is done by editing the page the block is on, clearing the code for a block, then clicking the 'Add block' button to add a new block &mdash; you'll be given full guidance through the choice of block parameters.

23.

It is important for any website with a membership to have some rules, just like it is important for any real world community to have some rules. We have created some out-of-the-box rule sets for you to choose from, ranging from stricter rules that apply to a corporate setting, to very liberal rules (in that they are a lot less prohibitive) that apply to more freely expressive communities. For most websites the balanced rules are most appropriate. ocPortal also contains a privacy page which you may wish to edit at a later time.

In this step you will enter a colour around which your website theme will be built.<br /><br />It will take around 20 seconds (depending on your server) to generate your theme, and this will happen on the last step of the Setup Wizard. Some servers have bad configuration and will terminate a script if it takes more than about 10. If this happens (you can recognise by a blank screen or an 'Internal server error') just keep clicking refresh/reload in your browser until it finishes. The Setup Wizard is smart enough to be able to pick up where it leaves off.
