Content not displaying - What am I doing wrong?
Posted: Sat 9. Apr 2011, 21:35
Hi Everyone,
It's been a long time since I've had to design a website and use PHPWCMS. I've installed 1.4.7 (2010/12/27, r412).
I'm trying to create my site, but am having difficulty getting things to display.
From what I remember and have read:
1. Create layout
2. Create template
3. Create site structure
4. Create articles
I see that there is a sample header and footer created at install. It puts everything into the Main section. I have tried putting text into the header and footer sections of the template and giving them height in the layout screen, but I cannot get them to display.
I do notice <div> markup in the text that displays by default. Is this needed? Also, I seem to remember something about {LEFT}, {RIGHT}, etc. tags. I think they were used to link the template to the layout. It doesn't seem to make sense to me now, however.
One more thing, I am trying to add a "Contact Us" form, I see a email form labeled (old) can this still be used, or is there a better replacement for this?
Thanks,
WT
