CMS Made Simple Forums

Ok folks, I've tried it all, searched the whole forum too for days, but unfortenately I could not find anywhere where I can create a good working newspage, including css to work properly.

From what I know and read you 1st have to create a new template. But what { } do you have to put in there? And does that have to go between a ?

Then beneath there, you can add a css style?

Can anybody please show er help me how I can setup a whole new NEWS page from scratch?   Because unfortenately there are no docs on how to do that.

Please....please help me.

Sincerly,

Dave

Same thing here Dave, Good CMS, but no docs for noobs.
I am stucked too with creating a newspost including a stylesheet.

If I understand correctly, and you just want a page with News, do the following:

Create a new page, the same way you always do.

In the "Content" area, put a tag that looks like: {cms_module module='News'}

Now that page will get its information from the stuff you enter in the News admin. You can restrict to categories, etc, by adding parameters to that tag. There is more information in your CMS Admin, if you go to Extensions > Modules and then click on the "help" link next to the News module.

If you want your News page to have different CSS than the rest of the site, you will need to create a new template. You can just copy your old template, and give it a different name. Then, under Layout > Stylesheet create your new stylesheet, and associate it with that new template.

Hope this helps!
