Good evening all,
I am completely and miserably at sea when it comes to building a public site! We have an iWeb site currently, hosted by a local music organization, but it's out-of-date, and was really difficult for me to cobble together. I'm hoping that it's much easier to put together a public site using Groupanizer, but I'm still flummoxed as to how to use Groupanizer as a "private site". I did manage to figure out how to employ the new theme for the public site, but that's where it ends. Is there a step-by-step "how-to" on setting up a public site for dummies? signed ~Clueless in CA
I followed the instruction found here. Its gets you started

I'm stuck at "Click on the name of the current Access permission and you will get some options below. Choose "None". Save." in the set public calendar view section. Any clues? I see a drop down that lists access permissons, but but clicking on it doesn't seem to provide a "none" option. Where'd I go wrong? Thanks.

You may have to scroll down to see it. It appears in "ajaxy" fashion, which may be surprising...
OK, sheesh, went there, did that! Doh! Thanks.

Sorry Ian; But that page does not exist when clicked.

check the most recent post in this thread by Kari. The on-line documentation has been updated, so the old link I posted back in January 2011 is gone...
Actually here is the link from Kari's posting http://groupanizer.com/how-create-page-your-public-site

Back to this public site problem again. Let's say I follow all the instructions in this link - http://www.groupanizer.com/feature-publicwebsite
Unfortunately, I still can't figure out how to actually "build" the page as I want it to appear to the public. It won't lok a lot like our members only pages. How do I actally build the page? I'd like to work on this again, as soon as I return from the self-flaggellation chamber.

This is where knowing a bit about scraping HTML code helps, but isn't necessarily required. Essentially to flesh out your public site you'll be creating several nodes of the content type Public Page created in the aforementioned instruction set. Creating a public page is as simple as clicking Create Content from your Admin navigation block and then clicking Public Page. When you create those pages you'll be using the CKEditor to populate each page with some kind of content. I mentioned HTML code scraping because the CKEditor allows you to choose the Input Method of Full HTML which grants you the ability to do just about anything coded in HTML. Once you've got your pages created with whatever content you need, the main thing you'll be doing is putting links to those pages in your Public Menu (also created in the instruction set). If you click the link to my chorus' site in my signature here you can click the links in the Public Menu navigation block to see what I'm talking about. Pretty much all of the things in the Public Menu navigation block takes you to are simply nodes I created in the Public Page type.
