Editing templates out of CMSMS

[Geeperzz]

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to edit the template layout outside of CMSMS? I don't have all rights so i can't use the template editor in CMSMS. I do have FTP access so i can dl files.

Thx!

There is a module called TemplateExternalizer, but i can not confirm it works with 1.10.3, actually never used it.

templates are stored in the database, so you can't access them with FTP.

I know i can't access them with FTP. But CMSes like Joomla give you the ability to edit the core CMS files so you can open your includes for like headers, footers and remove/add things.

I need to find a way to edit the template layout out of CMSMS.

in that case the administrator must give you the necessary rights to edit the templates.

There is only one way to do this completely outside of the CMSMS package, and that is directly editing the template in the database. Otherwise, even if you want to use Template Externalizer (which has been updated for 1.10 series, http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/externalizer), you must first log in to the CMSMS admin panel, and you must have permissions to edit templates.
