CMSimple version 3.2 - June 20. 2008
© 1999-2008 Peter Andreas Harteg
Congratulations on your new installation of CMSimple.
If you use CMSimple under AGPL3, you must keep a convenient and prominently visible feature that displays the CMSimple Legal Notices.
If you use CMSimple under the Linkware Licence, you must place a static, visible and readable link to www.cmsimple.org with the text or an image stating "Powered by CMSimple" on every generated page (place it in the template).
If you don't want to keep with these licence requirements, and you do not want to purchase a commercial licence, please delete this installation of CMSimple instantly.
Default login is 'test' ('admin'/'test' if security type is wwwaut)
- remember to change login under settings.
Please read about File permissions and Security issues in the Installer's Manual.
Please visit www.cmsimple.com and consider purchasing a commercial licence for CMSimple, which may give you a lot of benefits compared to using CMSimple under AGPL. These benefits includes removal of copyleft conditions, change of Legal Notices requirement / removal of "Powered by CMSimple"-link and access to support in user forum.
CMSimple is an easy to use content management system. Anyone who ever wrote a structured text with a word processor, can start up editing his homepage immediately. Without having to study the cms before.
Before you start working on your website's content, it might be helpfull to find an appropriate structure, some kind of scaffold, for it. This scaffold can be changed anytime later.
So, you want to build up a new website from scratch. The first thing you have to do is lean back and think about it for a while. Amongst all the questions you'll have to answer are this two: What do I want to publish? What is the appropriate structure for my contents? Probably you will come up with some kind of herarchical list, your table of contents. Just write this list, line per line, to a CMSimple page. Then format the top level headings as «H1», the headings of the second and third level as «H2» and «H3». Save the page and that's it! CMSimple will create a scaffold for you, which will make it easy to work on your contents: a structured and linked collection of empty pages.
Important hint for wellrad-users: Do not create an empty page for your onlineshop. The wellrad plug-in will do this for you later!
Perhaps this might look a little bit strange to you at the first glance. Unlike the way you are used to by your word processing system, there is nothing like «File -> new» to start up with a new text. Consider your website's pages to be one coherent text. Your new pages are – at least technically – no new texts. They are just «chapters» of your website.
So you start a new page simply by inserting a heading of the appropriate level wherever you want to. (The standard settings allow three levels. You can change this and use more – but keep it simple! Do yourself and your visitors a favour and rethink the structure of your contents. Three levels should be enough for almost everything!)
Just delete the content of the page and save your work. (Make sure your really delete all of the content: («Ctrl + a»)).
Cut the whole page («Ctrl + a», «Ctrl + x»), save. Then paste it «Ctrl + v») at the new position.
That's it! If you need more detailed help, please visit the official homepage of CMSimple, the official forum (to register you need a commercial licence, but it's free to read though), the free forum or the Wiki.
The wellrad plug-in adds onlineshop functionality to your CMSimple system.
After having installed CMSimple it is necesary to set two more files to the appropriate file permissions (unix 0666 - allow reading and writing for owner, group and public); shopsettings.php
and catalogue.inc
.
If you want to edit the wellrad stylesheet online, do the same with the stylesheet.css
.
These files are located at:
Hopefully the administration screens are self-explanatory. If not, you will find further help on working with the wellrad via the help-tab.
If you want to offer your visitors detailed informations about your products, just add pages in the CMSimple way. The wellrad plug-in will take care of adding an «add-to-cart»-button.
