Post a custom template Reply with quote
Hello Everyone,

First of all, cutenews is a great tool ( on windows a few MySQL problems, but i'm gonna fix that Smile )

Second, I have a own HTML/CSS website, I want too use cutenews for editing the pages. Is there a tutorial ore somekind, that tells me how to get a custom template working on cutenews?


Regards,

I've been trying to figure out how to explain it.. I can't find the words. Have you worked with cutenews at all before? It's just html.. make some html and css that match your layout, plop it in the templates area. It should be rather simple. Sometimes all you need is just:

Code:
<a href="{link=home/post}">{title}</a><br>
{short-story}


That could be your simple active template. If you want to be crazier, go crazy.. some css and classes could make that look awesome. Do html in a visual editor, it can help speed things up. Use and read all the terms and definitions under each section of your templates and you'll soon know how to make beautiful templates.

Hello Scott,

Thanks for the reply.

Infact I have a HTML/CSS design but I don't know how to 'convert' it too cutenews.
Like, how do I get a catagory to a specific part of the website. ( Like A catagory Menu, which you can edit menu items for example)

And yes this is my first time using cutenewsru.

You don't have to convert it to cutenews, unlike other CMS'es you embed Cutenews IN your design and not your design in the CMS-template.

In your CuteNews-folder you'll find a readme.html, it's explained in there.

Have fun with CNR!

I dont understand, You can embed cutenews into your own template. Or, what do you mean exactly?

Hello everyone!

It's been a while, but i'm still working on cutenewsRU.

I have been modifying the exampel index page ( with custom HTML) and a default CSS.
But the CSS doesn't load properly. It load's, the colors, but not the images and page placement.

the code on the index.php:

Code:
<?php
include '../head.php';

// pgt start
// ????? ???????? ??????? ????????? ???????? (page generation time aka pgt)
$pgt = new microTimer;
$pgt->start();
// end pgt start

$header = array(
        'users'    => 'Users',
        'search'    => 'Search',
        'category' => 'Categories',
        'archives'  => 'Archives',
);
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<link href="<?=$config_http_script_dir; ?>/example/img/andreas02.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<title>Management Console </title>
</head>

<body>

<div id="container">
<div id="logo">

</div>

<div id="navitabs">
<h2 class="hide">Site menu:</h2>
<a class="activenavitab" href="index.html">Hoofdpagina</a><span class="hide"> | </span>
<a class="navitab" href="dataprotector.html">Back-Up</a><span class="hide"> | </span>
<a class="navitab" href="evasystemen.html">Storage</a><span class="hide"> | </span>

</div>
   
<div id="desc">
</div>
     
<div id="main">

</div>
   
<div id="footer">
</div>

</div>


<?php
/* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ????????, ??? ?????????
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ */
if ($do == 'search'){
   include $cutepath.'/search.php';
} elseif ($do == 'users'){
   $bgcolor = '#f7f7f7';
   include $cutepath.'/show_users.php';
} elseif ($do == 'category' and !$category){
   echo cn_category();
} elseif ($do == 'archives'){
   echo cn_archives();
} else {
   $number = 7;
   //$sort = array('title', 'ASC');
   include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
}
?>
      </table>
</body>
</html>


and the css code: (next post)
