I believe you can do that by yourself. It's very easy to convert static HTML to CMSMS.  ;D

I want to merge those two div's, so the both divs are merged and have the same easy-readabke colour..
If you could help me with converting this to a template, I would be gratefull and credit you..

Thanks :(

Hi again Nindustries!

I don't think anyone are interested to convert your layout for free.
But take an look on this tut.
http://cmsmadesimple.org/uploads/media/mint_chocolate.htm

If you still doesn't get it to work and willing to pay some bucks for it then I'm willing to do it.
Just send me a PM.

Good luck

Thanks Coldman, it helped me ALOT :)
No , but the only thing i'm asking is that if there is someone who could 'join' those two divs of the content page?
That would be AWESOME !
Thanks :)

Join 2 divs, which 2 out of the 80 do you want to join, that template has WAY too many useless divs and this thread should be in the layout/css section...

That video link http://cmsmadesimple.org/uploads/media/mint_chocolate.htm has no voice over and yea its not very descriptive either, it needs to be explain on every step. I have most of my template design added to cms but getting the content is sort of tricky for a newbie like myself.

Is there another resource link to this?

Thanks

I managed to 'join' those 2 divs. 8)
You can view the template at: http://nindustries.byethost22.com/site/ ... page=alias

But there's something I can't solve; when you open (for example) Home, the HOME link on the left will show up in stupid gray and it won't have a nice imagebox behind it :(

How?

Have you looked at the source of the page to see what you may need to target?...

Code: Select all

<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://nindustries.byethost22.com/site/">
<span>Home</span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="currentpage">
<h3>
<span>Test Page</span>
</h3>
</li>
</ul>
How could I make the class "currentpage" show up like the 'home' span ?
