Some questions

Post by Omar »

Hello

I've tried today CMSMS out and its in the beginnening a little bit searching but i found the nice documentation. Ok here are my questions. Also creating a theme is very very easy! The problem is that i only can HTML and PHP so no CSS. And you need CSS to make a theme. I want to make a theme like this. I've already create some tables and put there the menu div in. But can someone help me how can i make a look a like of that skin? I want a blue version of it.

Also where can i get more skins? I only found skins on this website. That were al blog templates. I want simple like that website.\\

And is CMSMS good for an game website about one game?

Sorry for my really bad Engelish but i come from The Netherlands and i'm only 13 years old.

Almost thanks

Hi Omar,

From the end of your questions:

Yes, CMS Made Simple can be useful for game website. It just depends on your needs. If you need simply provide informations about the game, then it is probably 1 of best choices, especially beacause it is very easy to skin. Maybe thats the reason, why there aren't much themes around - it is so easy to create your own, that most time we prefer it to use prepared one. Anyway, you can find some themes at http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/

If you need CMS with social features (user profiles. messaging, etc.), then there are probably better options out there (for example Drupal).

The theme you need doesn't look so difficult. Just look for some "two column" theme and adjust it to your needs. You will need to learn at least basics of CSS, though.

Best luck,

Milhaus

I only want give information about the games (Grand Theft Auto). But i see it's very easy to skin but i can't CSS. I'm gonne learn to CSS! Are there also people that do if for free :$? I wanna pay but my parents don't want that. I'm only 13 that also the reason that my Engelish is so bad.

I'm now trying to edit the standard theme. But i want more a theme like Thegtaplace.com etc.

Almost thanks!
