Clicking the block configuration button (ti ti-border-all) in the admin toolbar will bring up a fly-out menu over each block on the page. Rolling over these menus will allow you to:

Page Properties

The page properties (ti ti-settings) dialog allows you to edit all of a page's settings. This uses the same screens, with the same options, as we saw on the internal site above.

Child Pages

The child pages (ti ti-sitemap) dialog allows you to see a list of child pages of the current page. From this list you can reorder the pages, delete a page, copy an existing page or add a new page. You can also use this list to navigate to a page that might not be available in the menu.

When copying an existing page, not only is the page copied, but also the page blocks, child pages, and child page blocks. What a time saver! Even though Rock will re-wire up any references between the new blocks and new pages, it is wise to double check your block settings to verify everything is what you expect.

Page Zones

Clicking the Page Zones button (ti ti-columns) will enable the zone fly-out menu for each zone defined on the page. From this menu you can bring up the zone dialog below.

From the zone dialog you can add or delete blocks in a zone. The tabs at the top of the page determine if the blocks will be added to the current page, the layout or the site. Adding the block to the layout will enable it to be shown on all pages that use that layout. Adding the block to the site will place the block on every page in the site.

Page Security

The Page Security (ti ti-lock) dialog allows you to set security for the page. This allows you to determine who can view and administrate the current page. Note that page security is hierarchical. If no specific security rights are defined by a page, it will use the security settings of its parent and its parent's parent. If no page above it defines any specific rights it will use the rights defined for the site. This allows for a robust and flexible security implementation with minimal configuration.

Page Info

Clicking the Rock Information button (ti ti-info-circle) will display the System Information window where you can view the version info and diagnostics.

The diagnostics tab lists the complete configuration of your Rock environment. It’s useful when working with others to debug an issue.
