problems how to convert a html-site to wcms

SNap · Post by **SNap** » Sat 8. May 2004, 20:58

hi,

i want to put my own site into wcms, but i have spent a fair amount of time on it, and i cannot figure out how to bring it in to wcms...

maybe one of the wcms-pro's got an idea?

look at my site: http://www.dsl-inet.com

the most special about these pages: they adapt in width and height to browser. And the background is different on any page, i don't know how to bring that into wcms.

would apreciate any thoughts

Cheers
SNap

the different background can be managed through different templates...

and for the width you can just use a custom design.. so you'll have to create your design through static html in your templates.... that shouldn't be a problem...

=> go to page layout => choose: custom

=> go to templates => create your templates with you different background, or use the random image tag, if the image is not fixed for any category

=> go to categories => create your categories and choose the correct template for each category...

you should be done...

now you've got a static layout but you can edit you content with wcms...

your background images can be controlled using... one of these hacks

hi brans,

i tried it, and it almost works, except that the content-pages will not show up

i copied my hole static-html-code in main part of template, is that correct? i almost can't believe it

did you use the {CONTENT} Replacement Tag in you static html ??
Ahh and of course you have to enter some content

by writing articles for each category

...

otherwise it's hard to say what you're doing wrong! could you maybe setup an admin account for me at your script and I will have a look at it...

these hacks don't work for me.....maybe because of backround images?

I think, it must be possible to use different templates.
There you can define different css and also different background-images.
And in the site structure you can define the used template.

edit: to late, double-Strike

yeah, but dirrefent templates for each page would put cms ad absurdum

I have enhanced phpwcms (CVS only at the moment) for the possibility to read whole pages, texts, php scripts and so on - and also URLs.

You can place files in content/pages in any possible subdirectory structure.

I think this maybe one of those 'Wowsers!' moments

but can it only do Google & Apple or other sites too?
