CMSimple_XH–Forum

Hi everybody,

just curious, how you are putting together your CMSimple site... may be I can learn something from you.

Here's how I do it:
xampplite is running on my computer
I put CMSimple files + plugin files together in a directory
look at the files with PSpad and change things here and there
look at it in Firefox, change in Pspad, look in Firefox, change...
when it looks good, I check in Opera, Safari and IE6 and 8... and may have to do a little more in Pspad
finally I upload it with Filezilla to the internet.

svasti

I do it the same way. But for my new sites i don't support IE6 anymore.

There are some tutorials mentioned in this forum already. And studying ready made templates helps enormously. To build one's own templates requires to understand:
1. HTML and CSS Basics
2. the way CMSimple works - necessary calls and functions usable in templates
3. any of programmers'editors }PSPad, Notepad, Notepad++ a.o.
4. some application for graphics manipulation (IrfanView, RealDRaw, Photoshop...)
5. local server to work offline (XAMPP, WAMP, PHPEasy...)
...
6. Smart formulated questions with all necessary information put in this forum
