CMS Made Simple Forums

I’ve been trying to create a template/custom page(s) for a client.

The page(s) I’m trying to build will either allow the client to input a paragraph or two with a table structure below that, or simply a page with a table on it.

As I’ve said I’ve tried to create a page(s) but without success, I started by creating a new template and pasting the table structure into it. I then attached a style sheet that I’ve used to control the structure of the table.

However, when I create a new page and select the template from above, the table doesn’t appear! I need to do it this way because the client has no knowledge of HTML and although the editor in CMSMS is easy enough to use, I’d like to place a level of control on how the pages look; it is as much that I’d only like to client to either add or delete rows from the table.

Can you post the sorce of your template and css here ?

Here is the code for the template and the CSS, I've literally taken a normal template and inserted the code in it; thinking that I can produce the effect I want by creating a global content block i.e. {global_content name='victable_block'}

I'm obviously misunderstanding what you can and can't do with these tags, but thanks for taking the time out to look at the problem.

1) First part is the template code
2) Is the css
I've posted another thread onto this message showing the html I'm using to create the table structure.

Any answer to this? I will be working on something like this shortly so it would be nice to see a solution!

Have you tried to use pageblocks module?
