This is a list of site-management topics for persons on the Webmaster Committee. Committee members, add to or edit this list as inspired. Put your initials & date at the end to signify that you are carrying final edit responsibilities for that topic. Feel free to clarify, correct, or complete any topic--just do changes under the blessing of the final-edit person.
Note:This page uses the FAQ page format. We are using the 'questions' structure to do a list of topics instead of 'questions.'
Password & Edit/Login Capabilities
AtomicShops provides one administrative password for editing-access to the whole site. Also, specific pages can be protected with an additional password. Both standard users and logged-in users must enter a page's password to get to password-protected pages--each page can have its own password. Unfortunately, AtomicShops is blind as to what user is logged in for editing. It thinks there is only one editor-user. If one committee member is already logged in while another is trying to log in, the first one is automatically logged off, without notice of any kind--an annoying limitation. In practice, it may not be much of a problem as changes are always getting saved and, with some minor coordination on the part of the chair, editing can be scheduled to avoid having two or more trying to edit at the same time. -Len 16Aug05
