CMS Made Simple Forums

Posted: **Thu Jul 05, 2018 11:06 am**

Hey there,
I've been trying to make a very simple, non-responsive template. I'm done so far, but I can seem to get it to work within CMSMS. I used the Smartytags from the Minimal tempate that was already in there, I thought, that would be the simplest way to start.

I get:

Alert
Sorry, but it does not appear that there are any usable page templates for the selected design

I created new a new template (hilde_poi):

Code: Select all

{process_pagedata}
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<__html>
<head>
	<title>{sitename} - {title}</title>
	{metadata}
	{cms_stylesheet}
</head>
</__body>

	
	<div class="container">
		<header id="main-header">
		<img style="float:right; margin-right:5px; padding:10px;" src="logo.png">
			<h1>Header test</h1>
			
			Underscore
		</header>
	
		<nav id="navbar">
			{* Start Navigation *}
			<div style="float: left; width: 25%;">
				{Navigator loadprops=0 template='minimal_menu'}
			</div>
			{* End Navigation *}<br><br>
			Breadcrumps > are not > yet > active
		</nav>
	
		<section id="main">
			{* Start Content *}
			<div>
				<h2>{title}</h2>
			{content} 
			</div>
			{* End Content *}
		</section>
		
		<aside id="sidebar1">
			<p>Lorem isaum idsf dsfwedgg sdwgs</p>
		</aside>
		
		<aside id="sidebar2">
			<p>Lorem Ipsum:</p>
		</aside>
	</div>
<__body>
</__html>

And a new CSS (hilde_css):

Code: Select all

html {
    height: 1080px;
	width:1920px;
}

body{
	height: 100%;
	background: linear-gradient(290deg, #a8e063,#6ab023,#56ab2f);
	color:#FFFFFF;
	font-size:20px;
	margin:0;

}

h1 {
    	margin:10px 0;
}

a {
    color:#ffffff;
		text-decoration:none;
		font-weight:900;
}

.container{
	width:1880px;
	margin:auto;
	overflow:hidden;
}

#main-header{
	background:rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
	border-left:5px white solid;
	padding-left:20px;
		padding-top:3px;
		padding-bottom:10px;
	margin-top:20px;
	margin-bottom:20px;
	margin-left:0;
	margin-right:0;
}

#navbar{
	background:rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
	border-left:5px white solid;
	padding:10px 20px;
	margin:10px 0;

}

#navbar a{
	font-size:22px;
}

#main{
	background:rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
	float:left;
	width:1316px;
	height:780px;
	border-left:5px white solid;
	padding-left:20px;
	margin:10px 0;
}

#sidebar1{
	background:rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
	float:right;
	width:490px;
	height:380px;
	border-left:5px white solid;
	padding-left:20px;
	margin:10px 0;
}

#sidebar2{
	background:rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
	float:right;
	width:490px;
	height:380px;
	border-left:5px white solid;
	padding-left:20px;
	margin:10px 0;
}

Then I created a new design (hilde_design), linked it to the tempates hilde_poi and minimal_menu and to the css hilde_css

But when I try to change the template for a content item, it gives me the afore mentioned error.

Are you sure you made the template "Core::Page" type, and not something else by mistake?

Thank you, that was my mistake. I had it set to Core::Generic, now it works fine!

Took me two days to set it up and built a custom template. I havend done any webdesign etc stuff in five years now, so thats pretty good. I think CMSMS is really pretty straight forward. I like that!
