    OK, I have a template coded, and just want the ease of using a CMS. So what is a good free script to do that?

    Thanks,

    BP

    I think there is no cms that can directly accept custom coded templates directly for you to use.

    But it is relatively simple to integrate your custom coded template into a cms by adding the needed tags into your desired positions.

    A good start would be using Joomla cms (www.joomla.org), this cms is well done, well supported and has lot of extensions for free. Integrating your template is relatively easy if you first understand the concept of joomla templates, best thing is look at code of any template that ships with joomla. This article here explains the structure in best possible way please look at this link http://www.compassdesigns.net/tutorials/joomla-tutorials/joomla-template-tutorial.html

    What CMS features are you after?
    Article management?
    RSS abiliy?
    Multiple Users?
    etc...

    If you want Article/content Management only for eg, SNews should do for you - it works with any template.

    If you decide to go Joomla way, you will most likely need to hire someone to get your template converted into a Joomla compatible one.

    All I want is to add articles. I only want me as a user. Just to save me editing the main HTML to add articles.


    Thanks,

    You may want to read the readme file that comes with the files. Also get this pdf - http://www.solucija.com/docs/sNews-Tips_and_Tricks.pdf

    I say this because one of the first things you need to do is to have this
    under the <head> markup and your code does not show that.

    There is something in your stylesheet messing it up, when I turn your CSS off, it works fine.

    Anyway, try pressing the tab key on your keyboard. It should give you box access (tested with IE6 and Opera)

    It looks to be this CSS that is causing it. Perhaps someone here with good CSS skills can tell what if anythign is wrong with it:

    Well, I ill post the whole code, I am pretty good at CSS, but I didn't code this template, and there may be something hidden it it:
    <div id="main1" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 77px; width: 100%; height: 745px;  background:url(m_111a.gif) no-repeat; height:745px" />&nbsp;</div>
    Code (markup):
    <style type="text/css">
div#container
{
   position: relative;
   margin-top: 0px;
   margin-left: auto;
   margin-right: auto;
   text-align: left;
}
body
{
   text-align: center;
   margin: 0;
}
#nav img {cursor:pointer}
</style>
    Code (markup):

    Thanks for all your help Claudek :)
