I am installing CMSMS for our church site .. say
www.chuch.com
Then there is a subfolder / subdirectory called school.
so www.church.com/school
school will have a different template.
Can I make this work with CMSMS w/o having two installs of CMSMS (is that even possible ?)
Thanks
Donna

Re: CMSMS with two directories/folders ...
If you're using pretty URLs, then you can make it look as though you have a school directory even though it doesn't actually exist. Create a parent "School" menu item and create child pages under that and apply your other template to them. So to answer your question: No, you don't need 2 installs of CMSMS.
Hope that helps.

Re: CMSMS with two directories/folders ...
In short, no you only need to install cms once but you do need to activate Pretty URLS (check out the FAQ on the CMSMS Official Site)
Now you have a home page which is what you see when you go to www.church.com
You then create a new page called School and change the content type to "SectionHeader"
Then you create a page that has the parent "School" which is also chosen inside the page editing section
So when the user clicks on this page, say it's called About The School the URL will look like
www.church.com/school/about-the-school
Also 'School' will not be an accessible page, just a holder for the content that falls under the school catergory
@Templates - Choose what template to use for each page by using the drop down menu made available when you try to edit the page content for each page
I have actually used 6 templates in the same site

Re: CMSMS with two directories/folders ...
Hi, I know this posting is a bit old. I tried to create a subfolder this way, but it didn´t work. I created a section header called "politics". Then I created a site called "testsite"
The politics link appears in the menu but it just shows this: "http://mysite.de/#".
The page which has politics as a parent just appears as: http://mysite.de/testsite.html"
Coud there be missing something in the menu-manager?
I get correct breadcrumbs, like "politics/testsite.html", but normally i think the folders should be created also this way. I hope, there is a simple solution to this and that im just a bit stupid.
Thanks for any help,
Marc
