CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello folks,

Can somebody point me in the right direction for an Idiots Guide to page formatting in CMSMS? I've been trying to work this out for a month & am feeling like I'm really bashing my head against a brick wall.

I've been reading about Smarty, CSS, Grid systems, templates and stylesheets and everything I try fails to work.

I know I'm not a programmer and I know I am going to struggle, but I'm trying to learn. I understand the concept that we define things in one place and pull them in to another, but WHERE things are defined and HOW we pull them in is where I'm struggling!

Through sheer trial and error I have managed to make some changes to the Simplex Theme - colours, remove Breadcrumb, single column layout etc, changed the footer a bit etc.

Main question now is that on my single column content, where there are large amounts of text I'd like it to be justified and in the centre of a desktop display, but has to still show correctly on Mobile devices. Am I right in assuming this can be done in the "Smarty data or logic that is specific to this page:" section of the Content Manager?

Could someone please give me a link or an example?

Regards,

Simon

The way the 'content' looks is controlled by CSS/style sheets...

No. As Dr.CSS says it's done with CSS. So you need Layout > Design Manager > Stylesheets tab > click the CSS your design is using and modify it.

Maybe post your development work URL for more specific help?
