I have tried installing it, but the install php does not do anything (it just loads a blank page).

Does anyone have a step by step idiots guide? Sorry for being a bit daft.

I have done the following..
updated my cmsms to the latest version
Copied the files and folder from cmsms-mle-1.0.2-build4 to the cmsmadesimple folder (my root folder for the cms system)

- If you have class/id CSS for different language (NOT html{...}, *{...}) only:
  rename your class in this mode: StyleClassForThisTag in
  StyleClassForThisTag_en_US{...}, StyleClassForThisTag_it_IT{...}, ... with difference  of style languages

  In template call this class: ...

StyleClassForThisTag_cy_GB{...}

This is where I get very confused! What goes where the three dots are?

chipper wrote: And now another question - hopefully my last for a bit but I can't promise that! - the single ampersand in the url breaks validation - I have seen a post on substituting this but that was for another module and involved editing this (I think):

$extender = '&ac=';

I can't find anything like this in MLE - maybe I haven't looked hard enough - maybe this isn't the thing to do anyway.

Is there a way to substitute the & with & in the url  ?

In fact, I can't get to the English page to display when UK flag being clicked, thaugh  I've succeeded displaying those pages before. Everything is showing fine in admin!! Is there a cache issue or something wrong in my config ?
