First Step after Installation

Post by alex_flex »

Hi everybody,

This is my first time using Phpwscms system and I need some help.

I already have a test website in http:/ /www.flexacademy.co/test. This website have a layout and some pages and content already.

And now I want to implement the Phpwcms system to use it in this website.

My question is how I can add my website content in PHPwcms system? Phpwcms will do it automatically? Is that possible or not?

Thanks in advance.

No, this is not possible. How should the script know what to integrate? ;)

You have to design your template first and add all necessary placeholders. Have a look at the basic template, there you will see how it could be done.

Dig yourself into the matter and don't hesitate to ask...

Thanks for answer claus.

One quick question, as I told you in my first post I already have some content and design in my website (http:/ /www.flexacademy.co/test/index.html)

Inside Phpwcms admin panel, in the "Admin" area there is an option that says "default css". Is there where I have to copy my CSS file?

I followed this steps:

1. I went to "page layout" and I added a new layout.

2. I went to "templates" and I have created a new template for my website. But here there is an option to choose different css files. Before that I copied my current css file to "template/inc_css" and now I can select it, but I don´t know if this is the correct way or not?

3. We are still in "template". Then I copied the head tag inside the option "html head: <head> ".

4. I copied the content (all the content inside the "body" tag) in "main" option.

5. And finally "save template".

So in that point, what the next step? Could you confirm me if I did all steps in right way, please?

Thanks a lot for your support!

So far ist's ok.
Did you add a new page layout with "rendering: custom (from template main block) " and did you select it for your new template then?
And did you add {CONTENT} where your main content should show up and a navigation like {NAV_LIST_UL:P,0}? For css styling purposes you could use something like
{NAV_LIST_UL:F,0,1,act_path,active,cat,,<span>|</span>}

Thanks for your support claus.

I don´t understand very well what you explained me before.

Here you are two screenshots of my template:

Where is the place to put "{NAV_LIST_UL:P,0}" and "{NAV_LIST_UL:F,0,1,act_path,active,cat,,<span>|</span>}"??

Thanks again for your help.

P.S: I told you in my first post I already have some content and design in my website, and trying to put them in the backend :) (http:/ /www.flexacademy.co/test/index.html)
