Any start template?

Post by Jmx »

Hi all!

I'm absolutley new to this system and from what i've seen it really looks like something i'd like to learn.
I've seen many beautiful sites in the "sites you are proud of" thread and i'm a bit confused now, when i've installed the system and start i don't have any start layout at all.. just a blank page.
Are there any templates i can download somewhere that i can start with?

Regards :D

Hi Jmx,

at your CMS backend you can create a new template.

Have a look: => Basic Steps of Site Development using phpWCMS <= http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2776

A complete and simple table based template vor beginners:

Code: Select all

(Bad English).

Hava a look: http://phpwcms-templates.de/ (Only German language)

Thank you!

I'll try that begginers table based layout.

I just found how to download from that german site with free templates, i'll try it out... very exiting :wink:

Anyone knows if there's any future plans for an easier template handling for phpwcms? like put a folder with a template and select it from control panel without having to add all the numbers manually.

Regards

Hi Jmx,

I think there is planed a basic template during installatation.
The templates are stored in the db.

For advanced user: They can use the switch "custom (from template main block)" at page layout -> rendering: - And put the whole source into the main: area at the section template.
So you'll create your Layout with e.g. dreamweaver and fill in the placeholders for the content like {HEADER} {LEFT} {CONTENT} {RIGHT} {FOOTER} and your own custom blocks e.g. {MYBLOCK1}.

For every side you can create an own template if you want.
At the section "site structure" you must allocate the template to the category.

regards Knut
