You may create any web site design and adjust web site layout&outlook as you wish. Web site design is created and stored in a simple HTML file. Firstly you should create your website design in HTML file, design images and style sheets(style.css). A HTML template for your web site is a HTML file. Create design in any HTML editor as usual.
The procedure of template upload is:
1. Save your web site HTML template to the directory [html]. All templates for your web site are stored at this directory.
2. Put images and style sheets (style.css) that determine your website design to the directory[style].
3. Replace paths to the images and style sheets(style.css) at HTML templates
For example,
when you developed the design you had the following path <img src="sitelogo.gif" width="100" height="100">
now you have to write <img src="style/sitelogo.gif" width="100" height="100"> as design images are stored at the directory [style].
Replace paths for all design images and style sheets(style.css) in your design template.
4. Afterwards install CMS tags in HTML template (like <%tlooop ...%>). These tags post various data to the FrontEnds of your site. They display menus, pages content, images, news, banners etc. Detailed specifications for tags from all of ABC CMS Pro modules are available.These help files are stored with every module and describe tags for each module. Take a look at the directory structure of ABC CMS Pro. Tags description files are stored at
admin/modules/module_name/module_name_tags.html
For example description tag file for the module [site] is located at admin/modules/site/ and is named as site_tags.html
This is the principle for tags description for all modules.
5. Go to the administrative panel of ABC CMS Pro and set a necessary HTML template for a section simply by selecting it from the dropdown menu.
ABC CMS Pro is supplied with a vast quantity of samples describing how to use templates and ABC CMS Pro tags.
How to use samples?
Every sample illustrates the work of certain module. Samples of using tags are located at the directory [samples] in every module of the system.
Samples for using tags from the module [site] are located at admin/modules/site/samples/
site_module_sample01.html
site_module_sample02.html
site_module_sample03.html
site_module_sample04.html
site_module_sample04_section01.html
site_module_sample04_section02.html
For a quickstart copy these files to [html] directory where web site templates are stored, upload these templates at the administrative panel for your web site sections and see how these tags work. The same principle is used for tags description in every module.
You can design your own template based on samples simply by editing sample templates and amending the templates to your needs.
