CMS Templates
Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 12:58 am
Everybody....
Please keep in mind.... if you're not aware already, the templates provided by the CMS made simple default content, or by anyof the modules are just 'examples'. Provided for just that purpose.... to give you a guide as to how you may possibly implement something.
Except for the default content, none of the module templates are usually acompanied by any CSS (certainly none of my modules are, infact some of my default templates use (ugh) tables).
You are free to modify these templates how you see fit.... most of the modules already support 'database' templates so that none of your work would be lost during an upgrade, and so that you could actually use the module many different ways or display its output in many different ways without modifying anything in PHP or most of the time uploading a new file via ftp.
This also implies that the styling of these modules is up to you, we generally don't restrict styling in any way. You're free to adjust whatever divs you want, and to setup whatever styles you want for your templates. It also means that generally styling issues are not a CMS issue.
If you find an exception to this, particularly with 'core' modules or addons, I'd love to here from you.
Also, we are not here to teach you how to use cascading stylesheets. We will help when we can, and when you have a simple question (perhaps because of a brainblock or too many beers or something) perhaps you will get some help.... but we're here to support 'cms made simple', not the particular way that you have styled it.
