2 text editable regions

Post by rowena »

Hi there,

i've had a look at all the available themes on themes.cmsmadesimple.org and struggled to find a theme that catered for two editable regions. most of themes did have two columns but the one was the main contetn area editable via the admin section and one was a static column that displayed items like news, or search - basically itmes that could not be different per page - whatever was in this column, appeared on AL pages.

is it possible to have two editable regions with cmsms?

it is not a problem for me to layout the main content area with a table with two columns and do it myself so it gives the effect of two columsn to a user, but it will be a problem for my non-techy clients. the reason we have chosen to start using cmsms to build our sites is due to the fact that we are getting alot of clients wantign to edit their sites on their own and they are obivosuly not web techy at all so we need to kepp it as simple as possible for them to use. i used to use DotNetNuke which allowed one to add unlimited editable regions to a page. but i have coem to dislike the software hence my search for a new cms and out of 3 i have researched, i LOVE cmsms.

but now i need to know whether i can have 2 editable regions as this is key to most of our clients needs.

thanks, and look forwad to your response.

Read the demo content.
And take a look into the demo templates that have two text contents.

({content block="Second content block"} in your template might help)
