Workflow
This is the the basic way how web services are created in Bildy:
- Crate data models. Here you define the types of content pages you can then create. Drop in controls and build the interface that fits your needs.
- Create templates. Templates are assigned to content pages and they determine how the page will look and what it does. Templates can be plain text, HTML, XML, RSS, JSON —what ever you prefer. To create dynamic functionality, you can use B:tags, PHP and Bildy's PHP API.
- Create content. Once you've created a data model, you can create that type of content, and when you have content, you start to see something on your site. User's manual: Creating content.
- The external files such as images, CSS and JavasScript files should be placed in the files folder in your Bildy site.
Settings
From the top right corner, you can access Bildy's settings, where you can control your site and personal information. If you're a site developer, you will see these tabs:
Personal settings
Under the Personal tab you can manage your Bildy profile and change your password. If you still have auto-generated password, we recomend you change it to something more suitable. Read more: Updating your information and password
Site settings
Among other things, here you can change the Bildy site's name, take your site out of development mode (shows more info when problems occur) and remove possible error messages when you start running live your services.
Controls
Installer has placed a small set of controls on your site. From here you can update them, and download new ones.
People
You can invite more people to develop and update your site from the people-tab. Here's the list of all of the people who can manage your site. If you have normal plan, you can invite as many people as you like. Personal plan can have only one developer, and mini plan one updater in addition. Read more: User management
