How can I set up my own template and still make the site easy to update??
I understand the system for the premade templates, but when I try to integrate my own you can't really update content in pages!!

Re: Own template

Re: Own template
Hello tomasso
Try the following: First, get rid of your ... part. CMSMS has a tag to call the menu out of the system, therefore you will not need to manually set it in your template.
Second, replace your whole ... with {menu}. This will load the hierarchical menu structure you have defined in the cms. For the content you will have to do something similar, but this time put the tag {content} in your template at the place you want the content parts for each menu in your cms to display.
A good tip is to always consult the Help in the admin interface, in this case the Help for the MenuManager, to give you an idea what parameters etc. you could use with the {menu} tag.

Hello Thomas,

Cool. You can make your own templates from scratch as greatly explained above by tsw and moonie. You can "derive" the premade templates you understand by copying/renaming them and edit the copies too.tomasso wrote: ...I understand the system for the premade templates,
