Working with the CMS

Day-to-day editing in the Looops CMS: opening the panel, adding and editing entries, rich text, images, duplicating rows, and showing content on pages.

The CMS is where you edit the content of a site that has its database switched on (Personal and Pro). Blog posts, menu items, team members, products, testimonials: anything the agent stores in a table, you edit here.

Opening the CMS

  1. Open your project in the builder
  2. Make sure the preview is running
  3. Click the CMS tab (database icon) at the top right

The Explorer lists your tables. Click one to see its rows.

Adding and editing entries

  • Add a row from the table view and fill in the fields. Text fields edit in place; rich text fields open an editor with bold, italic, lists, links, quotes and block formats.
  • Images and files come from your Assets: pick an existing one or upload.
  • Duplicate entry copies a row, handy for similar products or events.
  • Delete removes a row permanently.

Changes appear in the preview right away and on the live site after your next publish.

Creating tables and columns yourself

You can, from the CMS: Create Table (blank, or from a template like Blog, Projects, Team Members, Testimonials, Services, FAQs, Gallery, Events), then Create Column with a type and options. In practice it is faster to tell the AI what content you have; it creates the structure and the pages together. See CMS & Database for the column types.

Getting content onto pages

The CMS holds the content; the agent builds the pages that show it. Ask:

  • "Show all blog posts on the blog page, newest first."
  • "Give each post its own page with a clean URL."
  • "Show the three latest projects on the homepage."
  • "Only show posts where published is true."
  • "Sort the menu by the order column."

Editing from the page

Click text on the site with click-to-edit on. If that text comes from the CMS, Looops shows Edit in CMS and opens the right entry, so the change applies everywhere the content appears. See Quick Edits.
