Click on „Log in“ in the upper right corner of the page. Enter your username and password, and click the „Log in“ button.

If you forgott your password, you can get it sent to your email address. You will now be presented with a page welcoming you to Plone. Click on „my folder“ (1.2 My Folder) to navigate to your personal home directory.  This is your own area to add new items.


Setting up your Folder and Preferences  (1.3 Preferences)

When you join a Plone site, you create an account on the server. That account includes the right to add content such as images, documents, etc. After you logged in, the member bar in the top-right corner will change and represent the options available to you as a member of the site.  One of these options is that each member has its own folder. This folder is secure that only the member (and administrators) can add and edit the content in that folder.

To access your personal folder, click the „my folder“ link (1.2 my folder) in the personal bar in the upper-right corner of the site. In the upper-right corner you‘ll also see a „my preferences“ link; clicking this will open a list of personalisation options. You‘ll see two choices; you can change your password, or you can change the key preferences in your site.

The change password form allows you to change your password. To complete the form, give your current password and the new password twice. After you‘ve changed your password, the change will be effective. No new login is required. The personal preferences form allows you to set a number of preferences that change the apparence of the site. These preferences are stored on the server.

You can activate the content editor, WYSIWYG editor „kupu“ . The editor simplifies the production of documents without the need for any html knowledge. Once you‘ve made your changes, click the „save“ button to confirm the changes.
