question about templates...i really like the Greenery Template that Mark made....
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 705.0.html

now, as i said ...prolly a silly question...but should i have some sort of an XML file in the download?  i have an index / menu html and 2 folders images and css....

That template uses a custom menu template so you may be having 1 of 2 problems or a combination of both...

1) The Theme manager may have renamed the template to... look in menu manager to see if it is...if yes rename there or in template to match....

{cms_module module='menumanager' template='theme_greenmenu' number_of_levels="1" items="home,rounded,squared,galleries,contact"}

2) I have these as top level pages/section headers and your site may vary...

{cms_module module='menumanager' template='greenmenu' number_of_levels="1" items="home,rounded,squared,galleries,contact"}
There is only room for 5 menu items across the top, you may need to make some spacing adjustments...

Having this problem also. I posted on a different thread.

The code is correct in my template and template is linked to the correct name, so not sure what's wrong.

Is there something about the "rounded,squared,galleries,contact" part I'm not getting?
Do I need to name some pages that way? I'm kind of new to CMS...

menumanager parameter items only includes those pages in the menu. (you can see all available parameters in extensions -> modules -> menu manager help)

you can change the items according your own page aliases or remove the items part. But as mark said there isnt much room in the menu so if you have lots of pages it might brake the layout :)

hope this clarifies

Cool, figured that out, thank you.

Now I just need to figure out how to place images in content without using the WYSIWYG editor (it's buggy on my browser).
