Sidebar
The sidebar serves a dual purpose as both a Notification Center and a Dashboard. Once users fill in the "Nickname" and "Email" fields in the comment box, they can find the sidebar entry button at the bottom right corner of the comment box.
Notification Center
Artalk features an on-site messaging system. In addition to receiving email notifications, users can also view messages in the sidebar.
The sidebar allows users to view comments related to them, categorized into: Mentions, All, Mine, and Pending Review.
You can quickly locate comments and jump to the corresponding page.
When a user receives a message, a red dot indicator will appear.
Additionally, you can swiftly reply to messages in the sidebar without needing to switch to the comment page.
Dashboard
For administrator accounts, the sidebar will automatically upgrade from the "Notification Center" to the "Dashboard."
After an administrator enters their "Nickname" and "Email," a password verification prompt will appear:
Once in the sidebar, you can manage comments, pages, sites, and other content.
By clicking the site icon in the top left corner, you can quickly switch between multiple sites.
Settings
Log into the administrator account to access the settings interface in the "Dashboard," where you can modify Configuration and Appearance without editing complex configuration files.
