Q1) Possible? Or do I have to build the entire site with it?

Q2) If answer to Q1 is yes, can I build a page (say, the home page) in a sandbox site and copy the code for the page into my current working site?

Yes I want to know this too. I'm still wary of losing what I've done so far by 'starting over' in site builder.

Sure. Site builder is the fall back option

If you try to add a menu item called 'audio' and the audio module is installed, then the page will display
your-site.com/audio

which is the audio modules, so it will show.

If you DONT have the audio module then you will be able to build a Site Builder panels page at
your-site.com/audio

But if you turn the audio module on after that then it will take precedence and show.

SO....

Templates also take priority. If you add a template file to the skin
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/unicorns.tpl

It will be visible at
YOUR-SITE.com/unicorns

If you add a menu item 'unicorns' that will have the url
YOUR-SITE.com/unicorns

so that .tpl file will show. If its not there, then this page is created for you:
{jrCore_include template="header.tpl"}

{jrPanel_display name="unicorns"}

{jrCore_include template="footer.tpl"}

You can put fixed stuff around a panel if you set it up like that. Or have no panel at all. Its very flexible.

Back it up. Auto backups should be kicking of every day. You can revert to them from the IMPORT tool in the Site Builder - Panels module.

To do a manual backup go to
ACP -> SITE BUILDER -> PANELS -> TOOLS -> EXPORT.

Check all the checkboxes for all the menu items you have created and EXPORT. then DOWNLOAD it to keep a local copy so you can import it anywhere. Peace of mind.

Michael -

Just to be clear. Where is site builder getting the module name from? The URL in the module info page or the menu name in the module's language file?

I am guessing it's the URL in the module info page -- but as I say, just making sure.
