Specify a guard page
Guard pages are web pages that Contribute places in folders
containing administrative files and temporary copies of pages that
have been sent for review. The guard page prevents users from browsing
to a Contribute folder containing files that you don’t want them
to access.
Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute
> Administer Websites (Mac OS), and select the website you want
to administer from the submenu.
If prompted, enter the Administrator password, and click
OK.
Assigning an administrator to a site and assigning a password
for the administrative account are optional. For more information,
see Become an administrator of an existing Contribute website.
The
Administer Website dialog box appears.
Select the Web Server category on the left side of the dialog
box, and click the Guard Page tab.
The Guard Page Panel dialog
box appears.
Click Find Guard Page.
The web page you specified as
an index page for the site is set as the guard page. By placing
a copy of the website’s index page in a folder, Contribute can redirect
users to the home page of the website.
When you have specified a guard page, click Close to exit
the Administer Website dialog box and save your changes, or select
another category to modify.
