CMS Made Simple Forums

What a great relief! I have evaluated at least 10 open source CMS titles. CMSMS is the only one where community members at all levels speak a recognizable language without grunting or spouting puzzles with the most important pieces left out.

I especially like the video presentations, but I have on suggestion. Currently I am interested in using some open source CSS templates. I am able to follow the demo up to about the half-way point, then there are a series of steps that move so quickly it is hard to tell where the presenter is. Since there is no audion, it would be great to have a series of numbered steps to follow.

If you tell us where things get hairy, perhaps we can write out some simple steps for you from that point on?

I have been looking into the same thing, I have found a few templates that I really like but they are CSS and I can not get them to work.

In the first post of this thread there was talk of video presentations? Where would I find these?

I love CMS it is much easier to use then its counter parts. I have tried a LOT of them and I think this is the best by far.


Thanks all!!

If you have a CSS/HTML Template you want to use, then just use these simple steps:

1. Create a new template "Layout -> Templates" - There you can see an example html template including the CMSMS tags.

2. Copy/Paste your HTML part from your CSS/HTML Template into the new template. BUT remember to insert the CMSMS tags you see in the example template (Like {content}, {title} and so on) where you need tha content to show in your template.

3. Go to "Layout -> Stylesheets" and create a new stylesheet.

4. Copy/Paste your CSS part from your CSS/HTML Template into the stylesheet.

5. Go to "Layout -> Templates" and click the CSS button to attach your stylesheet to your new template.

Thats it! - Your done and ready to rock 

The video presentations can be found in our wiki/documentation.

If you still need help after webforms input, let us know at about which point you get confused. If you could time it... that would be even better!

I think Web's explanation covered it. I will play with it when I get home from work and see if i can get it working.

Thanks all!!!
