CMS Made Simple Forums

I wanted something simple and easy, and found this CMS first.  Read a few chapters while waiting for it to upload.

Install went smoothly, had to modify some permissions, but no big deal.

I wanted a simple blog-like layout.  Couldn't be found.  So I tried to create it.

I delete the pre-installed entries.  Btw, wtf is that about?  No one is going to want that stuff.  At the most, a single entry for practice.  But there are several entries.  That's kinda retarded, but whatever, deleted.

Now for the main reason for me to install a cms: post an entry on my site.

I put in some CSS code as part of the post as that was the main reason for me to start using a CMS: bitch about code suggestions on the net, then offer real-world solutions that actually work.

I even use the Code style to wrap my code.  I also try the code sample style.

Both screw up.  Getting:

string(149) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 2]: syntax error: unrecognized tag:
text-align: center;
(Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446)" string(117) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 2]: syntax error: unrecognized tag '' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)"

Despite these not technically being in a tag, but a part of my post, I get this crap.

So I look up modules that would maybe put a Code button in the rich text editor so maybe they'd be wrapped in a recognizable recognized tag:

None found.

If you want a CMS to handle code samples, don't use this one as a simple, easy-to-use option.  This one will take work.

I don't have alternatives at the moment, but I'm looking.  Kinda tired of dealing with it after spending about an hour downloading, uploading and installing this one.

I am struggling with the exact same issue... Please let me know if you solved this with CMSMS or found a better cms system with ability to publish syntax highlighted code samples.

Alby

See, if you'd actually read those pages, you probably wouldn't be here asking these questions.
I suggest you re-install so you get the default content back.... then read it.

Before we get carried away, what kind of a website you wanted, exactly?

Do you just want a blog?

Have you found a template that you like?

If you are looking for a very specific site type like a blog, then immediately go and consider hosted blog solutions elsewhere. You will be using 5% of CMSMS functionality with just a blog, and overspending your blog administration time by 500%.

Once again, before getting carried away, consider what it is you are trying to do.
