How to create this layout?

Post by dj_vibri »

Hi,

I'm a total newbie with Cms Made Simple but for a client I need to build a website with cms functionality (he doesn't know much about html and webdesign).

I've tried joomla, drupal etc... but then I found Cms Made Simple and oh my god... It's perfectly what I need!!! (we don't need any community cms tool etc...).

If you want to take a look at the STATIC html page go to: http://users.pandora.be/xoco/Koen/Koen.htm .
I need to compile this website into a cms website.

A little info:

This is just the index page, the layout and/or what content is needed on the other page I still don't know.
On the index page you see 3 columns (the accident, news, projectfolio) The first column is divided into 2 rows, with the second row split into 2 columns (Verre de murano) the picture and sort of blog.

But it could be that, for example, the link 'biografie' is a complete different layout, so when I place all of this into content, he will always shows up the content from the index page... (hope you know what i mean).

How would you build this website? What html block would you use? how many? .... just a little usefull information about how to solve this ...

Regards,

Pieter

Since this layout is already using divs it should be easy...

wherever there is content just add, for main content, {content}...
then for more content boxes {content block="news"} {content block="projectporfolio"}

for oneline edit/content boxes 
{content block="news" oneline='true'}
{content block="news"}

this will give you a one line box for the header and a standard content box called News: to add content/news...

Mark, it is possible to add a image field? I exhaustively tried do find a documentation for the kinds of content block that I can add in a template, but couldn't find nothing, just the help for Extensions » Tags » Help for the content tag. These are the only options?

Thank you,

This was discussed in a older thread...

The way it was tried, and it works...

http://yourdomain.com/uploads/images/{content block="image" oneline="true"}.jpg

This gives a single line content edit block named Image: to put the name of the image in but it has to be in that path or whatever path it is in has to be set and you/they have to know the name of it and the extension needs to be set and true as in you can't put .jpg and call a .bmp of the same name...

If you want to be able to choose an image by browsing you can use {content block="image"} and you will get Image: as the name of the content edit area like Content: with all the edit toolbar functions...

Interesting solutions Mark, but I was thinking in something like that:

Is it possible to embed a long string from an asp source? Right now, it only returns the login page for the asp resource.
