need help with several tasks..

Post by zangief »

i've been into PHP for quite a while now, so i thought i could read any code with ease.. well that was i read CMSms' codes. It's been 2 days since, and i still dont get the code structure. I'm a total newbie to CMSms, and i need help on several tasks (eevn though i think theyre simple, but i couldnt get it somehow):

- shrinking the textboxes, input fields, etc so large fonts can be accomodated.
- removing the header logo and the text
- removing the footer

well, thats some of the tasks i was assigned to do. i still ahve some others but this'll do for now.

id really appreciate it if you guys can help me. thanks.

To remove the footer, just take the {global_content name='footer'} out of the page template.

The header logo and the text is the same.... it's all in the page template.

Zangief, you are talking about PHP coding. CMSms doesn't require any PHP knowledge.
Build your site by playing with the templates and attached stylesheets. You don't need to read/understand/write a single line of PHP code.
Website building with CMSms is just plain HTML+CSS.
Have fun.

Log in the admin. Go to layout/design. Select template management.
And play with the templates...
(you should copy them before modifying them)

As far as I know, templating/theming is only for the front end.
