Still on CMSMS, but new templates for my portfolio site

[izzysanime]

HI, I have used CMSMS for almost a year, and I have been easily changing the sites templates for every page and only needing to add a template to the system, which is so much better than having to change every page one by one.

anyways, my new design of my portfolio is http://www.wareriver.com

I'm now working on a new template mainly using a flash navigation menu, and I'm open to suggestions on it
(I'm also looking for a job/freelance work, so if you need someone, let me know)

thanks,
josh

Could you please explain how you have set them up, run them and move the changes from the test site to the live site

Hi steve,

Well there are 2 options on how to do it, you can manually make 2 seperate CMSMS installations or the way i did it and just make a new page in the pages section and name the file or files(s)test.

When i make them, I just go to the pages section of the admin, click add new content, name it test, then their is an options tab, in that tab, i un select the option for keep in menu.

Then, u just need to know what the page link is, if you named it test, its either site.com/test (if you are using pretty urls), or site.com/index.php?page=test  .

Then to make it live, i go into the page again, go to options and reselect show in menu. of course rename the page from test. 

Does that make sense?

If you make 2 seperate manual installs, then all you have to do is modify the config.php file with the new live urls and Database links.

thanks,
Josh
