Website created in this tutorial
In this tutorial, we will create a product management website that uses HFSQL Classic data files.
This website will have a back office and a front office.
The back office will allow you to view, create and edit products on the administration side. It will be a dynamic WEBDEV website in Session mode.
The front office is intended for web users and will display new products and product details. Users will also be able to open a page containing the general terms and conditions of sale.
This website represents only a small part of a real website, but it will show us the different aspects of the creation of pages for a management website: layout, data display, input and editing, etc.
We already saw the steps to create a project and an analysis in the Creating a project and its analysis tutorial. Let's move forward. We will work with a project that already contains an analysis with data.
To create this website, we are going to use pages in Session mode:
  • Pages is Session mode for the back office: One page to list, one page to create and one page to edit products.
  • SEO-ready pages in Session mode for the front office: One page to list new products, one page to view the details of a product and one page with general terms and conditions of sale. These pages should be responsive, i.e., they should adjust to different screen sizes. They should also be ready for SEO and be opened via a specific URL.
Let's focus on the concept of pages in Session mode.
  • Pages in Session mode as their name suggests, use sessions. This session is created on the server side when the first page of the website is displayed, and contains all the elements required to exchange data with the user. This session remains on the server until the user logs out, or until a given timeout is reached.
  • SEO-ready pages in Session mode also use sessions. However, the session is not created when the first page of the website is displayed, but when any page of the website identified by its URL is displayed.

Now, it's up to you.
