168city SiteBuilder comes bundled with several HTML blocks to demonstrate it's usage . You are free to use the provided blocks in whatever way you like when you are the paid member.

Editing images and using the image library
Editing images and using the image library
168city SiteBuilder allows users to edit images within blocks as well .
168city SiteBuilder makes a distinction between "user images" and "other images". User images are uploaded by users themselves and are stored in their image libraries. Other images have been uploaded the application administrator and can not be managed/removed by regular application users. When accessing your image library from the top menu, you will see two tabs, one for your own images and one for the other images.
When changing an image, simply click on the image on the canvas to open the style editor. Once open, click the "Image" tab and then click the gray button labeled "Open image library". This will bring up your image library allowing you to select an image or upload one.
Editing links
168city SiteBuilder allows users to edit links by either providing a URL, a block (to link to another section on the same page) or by choosing another page to link to.
Editing Styles
Our SiteBuilder allows users to edit certain styling properties for elements defined by the application's administrator. Please note that the administrator defines which properties for which elements are editable, so do not expect to able to change every property for every element .
To edit an element on the canvas, first hover the mouse cursor over the element. If a red border appears around the element, it means the element is editable and you can click it. Once clicked, the style editor will open on the left side of the page. After making any changes, you'll need to click the green button labeled "Apply Changes" to see the changes take effect.
If you don't like the changes after seeing them in the canvas, you can click the orange button labeled "Reset" to restore the styling of the elements to it's original settings.
Editing Videos
168city SiteBuilder allows users to edit Youtube and Vimeo videos as well. To edit a video, click the video you'd want to edit. This will open the left sidebar panel where you can enter a Youtube video ID or a Vimeo video ID. You can alter between these as you please, the application will detect which platform you're using and update the video accordingly.
Cloning Elements
168city SiteBuilder allows users to clone elements on the canvas. This comes in handy when working on a navigation for example, when you need an additional entry, you can clone the last item of the navigation.
Click the element you want to clone (if it's clonable, a red outline will appear when moving the mouse cursor over the element). Once clicked, the left sidebar will appear. You can now clone the element by clicking the dark blue button labeled "Clone".
Please note that a cloned element will always get inserted right after the original element!
Editing HTML
168city SiteBuilder allows users to edit the source HTML of each block on the canvas. To access the HTML editor, hover over the block action icon and wait for the block tool bar to slide in. Next, click the dark blue button labeled "source".
When working on a blocks underlying HTML, the validator will automatically list validation issues below the editor

Page Settings/Site Settings
168city SiteBuilder allows users configure certain settings for each page within a given site. To bring up the page settings window, click the gray dropdown button labeled "Settings" towards the right edge of the screen:
Within the page settings window, you can configure the page title, meta description, meta keywords and add additional code to be included in the HEAD section of the markup when either exporting or publishing your page or site.
Next to settings for individual pages, you can also configure certain settings for an entire site. To configure these settings, locate the gray button towards the right edge of your screen labeled "Site Settings" and click it to display a dropdown menu: Click the "Site Settings" link to bring up the site settings window. Besides the Site Name, you'll find a panel containing FTP settings. These settings are required if you want to publish your site using FTP to a live web server. The first item, labeled "Public URL" is not required to publish over FTP (this is only used to display the external link). All other fields are required to use FTP publishing.
Using the FTP browser
If you're not sure what remote path to use, you can use the built-in FTP browser. To use this, make sure you have entered the correct server, username, password and port number (if you're not sure about the port number, just leave it at 21). Next, click the blue button labeled "Browser Server". This will bring up a small panel showing you the files and folders located on your server.
You can use the FTP browser to locate the folder in which you want your site to be published. Once done, click the green button labeled "Save Settings" to save your details. You will get a final confirmation letting you know if all is ok. Once you see this confirmation, you can now publish your site!
Exporting your site
168city SiteBuilder allows users to export their sites at any given time. When you're ready to export your site, simply click the blue button labeled "Export".
Clicking the export button will bring up a modal window. Here, before you export your site, you can choose an alternative Document Type (by default it's set to HTML5 which is the recommended setting).
Click the "Export Now" button to download a ZIP archive of your entire site, including all CSS files, Javascript files and images.
Publishing your site
Instead of exporting your site, you can also choose to publish it to a live web server using FTP. Please note that this function will only work if you have entered correct FTP settings. If you haven't entered FTP connection details yet or if you have entered incorrect FTP connection details, publishing won't work and you'll be presented with a warning message.
Assuming you have provided correct FTP connection details, you can publish your site by clicking the dark gray button labeled "Export". If you have unsaved changes, you will be asked to save these changes first after which you can proceed to publishing your site.
The "Publish" button will bring up the publish window. Here, you can choose which assets and/or pages to publish. When you're publishing your site for the first time, you will want to choose ALL assets and ALL pages. After having published your site for the first time, you want to only publish those assets and pages which have been changed, as this will speed up the publication process significantly.
Custom CSS
168city SiteBuilder allows you to provide custom CSS to modify a single page or an entire site.
To apply custom CSS for an individual page, use the "Page CSS" field under "Page Settings".
To apply custom CSS to the entire site, use the "Global CSS" field under "Site Settings".
When supplying custom CSS, please do not include the style tags, as these are added by the application automatically.
Responsive Views
168city SiteBuilder allows users to switch between different view modes, this to ensure the resulting page will look good on mobiles, tablets and desktop screens. To toggle between modes, use the three buttons to the left of the main toolbar.
Global Blocks
168city SiteBuilder allows users to configure so-called "global blocks". These are blocks that maintain the same appearance and settings across different pages. This feature comes in handy when configuring navigations and footers for example.
Each block on the canvas has a check box labeled "Global". When checked, changes made to this block will be applied to the same block on all pages in your site, assuming those other blocks are marked as "global" as well.
