I have searched a lot the web for finding steps for creation Template for CMS made simple but not found anything related to this. How to create a template for CMS Made simple like we create templates in wordpress.
This is a useful video showing how to take a template and convert to CMSMS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0g9WkCwO7s
In the CMSMS admin area you go to Layout -> Templates. Then click Add new template.
To apply your template to all pages, go to Layout -> Templates. Alongside your template click "Set All Pages". Or you can apply to single pages by going to Content -> Pages, clicking the page you want, Options tab and change the Template drop down and click Submit.

I am having serious problems customizing my views template to displayblog entries in drupal 7.
please anyone with knowledge of what can help me please reply. i have gone through a couple of drupal documentations but no luck. my field.tpl.php seem to be the only template that actually affect my displays even though i have views-view-field.tpl.php, views-view--blog.tpl.php in the template .
In the view settings, under format, show, make sure you have fields selected, not content.
Under advanced, theme, click information to see which template files are being used, and click rescan if necessary.
If you have created or edited a view, please check under FORMAT section this should be Show:Fields and under Advanced section look for Theme:Information and click onto this, there will be a popup with all possible templates for the display plugin and for the style plugins. All field tpl will be available here those are exists in views fields, you can find your own and use as per your requirement.
When you edit your view open "Advanced" section on the right (collapsed by default) and click on "Information" from "Theme: Information" (last option in that section). There you can see what templates are used (bolded ones) and what could be used instead. You can even click on template description at the beginning of the line, and code will be displayed. Grab that code (copy) and create new template file with one of offered names. Place that template file in your theme and clear the cache. Now you can modify template by your needs.
Also, you even don't have to use all that hierarchy (even that's desirable), but you can i.e. find the template file that are looping over the rows and inside that loop put your html, so lower rank templates won't be included (i.e. template that iterates over fields or even over rows) . Again not so clear solution, but it works for me. I prefer having less template files and I know that nobody will work on that theme except me.
I use Umbraco 7.2.1
I have a document type called News with allowed 2 different templates: News (default) & Projects
I create a page and choose Project template for it. And it displays News template instead.
I tried the following to see what's wrong and came to nothing:
I set up a new page and choose Projects template - the page displays News template instead.
I changed the default template for this doc type to Projects and set up new page with different title - the new page still displays News template instead of default Projects.
It is not logical. Tried to refresh the cache but the problem persists.
I ensured the template is correct and it displays as such in the CMS as well.
I have another doc type which uses different templates and have no problem with that. Only with News/ Projects templates.
Completely not logical..
You will need to check the structure on the doc type to check if both templates have been allowed to the News doc type. Typically when you create a new document type, only one template will be assigned. Alternatively, go to content, click on the properties tab and down the bottom you will see template. You should have dropdown enabling you to select which template you would like to use.
I create a new TemplaVoila template for my website. Now I'd like to add this templeate to the ROOT page under Apereance in the Use Template Design drop down. Unfortunately the template does not show up in the drop down. What do I have to do to get chance to select the template in the drop down?
Make sure that in ROOT page properties you pointed the sysfolder with TemplaVoila'a structures and templates in field General Record Storage Page (Resources tab)
I have a magazine using Joomla. I need to be able to have different layouts for different issues.
I copied the default template, modified it and it shows just fine in Template manager, but how do I actually assign it to a category so all articles added to that category would automatically use it?
UPDATE: Solution below seems to work... however now it seems to open it correctly only when I go through the blog view and when I use my link on the front page directly to an article it uses wrong layout?
If you are using Joomla 1.6 or 1.7, you should be able to assign a template to a menu item. So if you have a menu item pointing to the blog view of a category. Set the corresponding template to that menu item.
This is done in Extensions -> Template Manager -> Styles -> "Your Magazine Template"
In joomla, I need to assign specially designed templates for both "User Edit" (Where user edits their details)
/index.php?option=com_user&view=user&task=edit
and "Search Results"
I can't for the life of me work out how Joomla is selecting templates now. Certainly ItemID's aren't obvious and template overrides aren't giving any clues.
Currently Search is defaulting to the site 'home page' template, and the user edit to the 'default' template.
I don't think it should matter but we are using jfusion.
Can anyone point me in the write direction
Thanks
Stephen
Templates in Joomla are assigned to different pages (via menu items) under Extensions > Template manager. The default template (with a star) is assigned to all otherwise unassigned pages. For the other templates, click the name and choose the pagesto assign it to.
If you don't have menu items assigned to the pages you mentioned, you can create a new menu called "hidden menu", make the menu items there, then link to those menus.
I think you're getting terminology mixed up though. "Template overrides" are files that reside in each template that override the default content output. There's only one set per template - if you want multiple template overrides you need multiple templates.
template over rides are stored in the templates folder.
so if you are using teh template called "beez" (comes stock standard)
the template overides are in :
templates/beez/html/
they are then stored under the module or component name. eg the article layout for com_content is stored in:
templates/beez/html/com_content/article/default.php
the template is usualy called default.php, but each component and module can have a few extra templates that they use as well as deafult.php
Now you are asking to change the "user" view for com_user when editing
I think that location is:
templates/beez/html/com_user/user/form.php
if you ever want to find the origanal template which is to be overridden in this case: template that would be in:
/components/com_user/views/user/tmpl/form.php
so in general
templates/templatename/component_name/view_name/template_filename.php
Lets try ::
/index.php?option=com_user&view=user&task=edit&template=template-name
parameter template comes from /includes/application.php:311
// Allows for overriding the active
template from the request
$template = JRequest::getCmd('template',
$template);
Hope it will work :-)
