Content Usage

[EsquireX]

Hello all,

I am looking for the correct way to use the content tag. I don't know if I should include the content only in the template or create a content page for each category of content I want to display. I looked at the included templates but still can't figure it out.

If I have a menu calling up different pages of content, how can I expect the content to be displayed? I am creating my own menu, composed of images with mouseover and all that. It seems difficult to implement this into CMSMS without the use of a module or plugin. I've looked at the available modules to help me in this task but I didn't see any that allowed the use of images in the way I wish to use them.

Example Menu :

HOME  BLOG  FORUM  GUESTBOOK

The HOME page is pretty straightforward. But, if the BLOG button is pressed, the BLOG content is going to be displayed where ever I have the {content} tag placed (I'm also assuming if i have a BLOG content page created).

What is the format of the {content} tag to do this or am i thinking about this the wrong way?

(I know I didn't use the correct syntax of the content tag above but it was only to simplify my explanation.)

Any help on this would be appreciated. (Should I wait for the documentation to be finished before I continue?)

Sorry, I missed this one.  I'm assuming you figured out how this all works out by now?

No problem. I have most of it figured out

I still need to know how to call up a page by it's page id since I have my own menu. I don't know where to find the page id and how to use it. Do I add "pageid" at the end of my url like www.chunkybustout.com/pageid#? I'm kinda stuck.

http://www.chunkybustout.com/index.php?page=1, where 1 is the page id for that particular page.

That was easy enough. (now I really feel like a goober)

Thanks wishy!
