hello
article templates are a great feature of phpwcms, but there's something i haven't figured out, how can i define where to place the article content?. i mean there's a tag for the title and the summary, but what if i want to place the rest of the content inside a table or so??
thank you
article template
heloo
i followed that tutorial a few days ago to build my site, now i have a definitive site structure with a template associated to it, but i'm asking for article templates, the one you chose when creating a new article, under the 'display full article' field:
my file: phpwcms_template/inc_cntpart/articlesummary/article/article.tmpl
now, as you can see there is no tag for the article content, the content is appended after this template has been processed, i want to do something like this:
but as i said the article content is appended to the end of the template
how can i define where to place the article content???
thanks again for your valuable help

You are messing with a template for the Article SUMMARY not the Article 
Many of the content types have templating provisions for ~some~ control over presentation before or after the CONTENT:
-articlesummary
-filelist
-forum
-guestbook
-map
-reference
-rssfeed
But if you didn't have the content part... you'd need no control over presentation before and after. These templates allow ~some~ flexibility for melding the content part into the overall flow. Nothing more.
The coding of each type of "content part" is in another location of the script and was purposely created in a predetermined way, in order to make it easy for non-webdesigners to just enter some data and have it presented (one purpose of a CMS). Those built-in "content types" are just a framework.
If you know/want a different or better way to present it, phpWCMS has some means for you to do that, too. This was done on purpose, and is one of it's strengths.

Different "content parts" are composed in different files, but here's a helpful start on your learning process:
"/include/inc_front/content.article.inc.php"
"/include/inc_front/front.func..inc.php"
"/include/inc_front/content.article.inc.php"

}well it could be good to set this as a feature request, because i'ts a common parctice (i think) to have a right column displaying info related to each article, like other articles or images or whatever, so it would be good to create a template, and the hability to set articles to use that template or other ones
thanks for your help
