Why not a sample db included??

[budman]

My biggest problem is figuring out the templates etc. I did download the 4 main page types from the site , 1_full., 2_2-col-left , 3_2-col-right, 4_1-col. but as I am a silly man still am not getting it

One thing I would have liked in the install was a sample database with 4 templates types and features kind of filled in, I am a typical user I guess that learns fast if presented with visual input...

If a sample db was included with tags etc, I could then see the structure and pretty well would understand somewhat instantly.

I wonder if anyone could post a typical site database export from phpMyAdmin with or without the images for download preferable witht he 4 template types. I would suggest this then be included as a feature for silly users like me

I would save a huge learning curve, that I see arisisng.

thanks

First off - the tempates are not stored in a DB. they are in flat files.

the samples are so easy you are probably looking to hard.

any code you want to apear in any section you write the in that section.
of course you could use your favorite html editor. write stuff that works and cut&paste it in to the desired area.
bingo.
the replacement tags should be written exactly as they are in the phpwcms.de documents (case sensitive).

of course - having a layout, some menu structures and a few article within will really show this off nicely
