<h3>What Does This Do?</h3>
<p>This module works in the CMS Made Simple administration console and provides various aditional functions and utilities for working with CMS Made Simple's content pages.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Export content pages to XML</li>
  <li>Import content pages from XML</li>
  <li>Allows Creating and managing various different content blocks for embedding into CMSMS page templates.</li>
  <li>Provides bulk page copy capability.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How do I use it</h3>
<p>If you are an authorized CMS Made Simple web site administrator, and have sufficient privilege to manage all content, then the &quot;Calguys Content Utilities&quot; menu item should appear in the CMS Made Simple administration panel.  You will see a number of tabs, including:</p>
<ul>
  <li><u>Blocks</u>
  <p>This tab provides functionality for creating &quot;named&quot; and managing content blocks of various types.  Tags for these content blocks can then be inserted into CMSMS page templates.  This provides functionality to put additonal content blocks into your page template to allow the user to enter or choose different data which may have a result on the appearance of the page.</p>
  <p>For example, a content block of type &quot;checkbox&quot; could be used to indicate wether an image is to be displayed or not.</p>
  <p>This is an advanced feature, and utilizing this feature requires that you be familiar with the smarty templating engine that is used througout CMSMS.</p>
  <p>Additionally, it is possible to hide these content blocks from users who tradittionally have edit access to the page.  The groups parameter can be used to specify a comma separated list of group names to members of which the content block should be visible. If this parameter is not specified, it is assumed that the content block is visible to all valid editors for the content page.';

  </li>
  <li><u>Import</u>
  <p>This tab provides the ability to import one or more content pages from an XML file that was created by the export functionality.   Using this functionality you can easily migrate information from one website to another.<p>
  </li>
  <li><u>Export</u>
  <p>This tab provides the ability to choose a single page from a dropdown to export to XML format.  You can also indicate wether the children of the selected page should be exported.  Clicking on the export button will prompt you to download the XML file.</p>
  <p>The generated XML file does not contain images, or page templates, or global content blocks, etc.  It only contains the contents of the various content objects, and their values.</p>
  </li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, this module adds a bulk action to the content management page, which should be visible if you have the appropriate permission.  This bulk action allows selecting multiple pages, and creating a single copy of each of the selected pages,</p>
