CMS Made Simple Forums

I'm new at this and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around certain concepts, like how templates and stylesheets interact.

Is there any sort of way to do a search to find what part I want to work on? For example, in zencart there is the developer's toolkit and if I want to find where I typed something that is showing up on a page, I can search for that term in the toolkit.

I don't know what it's called but I was using some other thing once (probably phpnuke) where a schematic map was available to see how things affected each other . Am I off? It's helpful to know where menu_vert is being edited when I keep forgetting that it's got it's own stylesheet. thanks

Here might be a good place to start, assuming you are familiar with XHTML, CSS and perhaps a bit of PHP...

I find that the users manual is kind of incomplete. Like the Extensions and Tips & Tricks seems to end there. I guess I can look at FAQ's but maybe I'm missing a user manual somewhere (?). Forums are fine but I kind of get impatient with the randomness of topics and searching for details. I guess documentation is being worked on.

Some sort of flowchart would be cool. It's taking a while to get past the structure that I"m used to, like looking for .tpl folders via ftp.

thanks
