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
How to create this layout?
Re: How to create this layout?
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...

Re: How to create this layout?
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,

Re: How to create this layout?
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:

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