few questions

[oldsteel68]

im almost ready to buy, but have 2 questions..

How is the content and blocks handled? Through the admin area?

Do I have to add content to the homepage directly to the html? Or can I just add it like a cms through the admin? And also the blocks, if I wanted to add blocks w/ some custom content, links, text..

Thanks

Not sure what you mean by "Blocks".

Some templates have exxtra areas added to allow you to manually insert links, comments, etc..

[oldsteel68]

blocks are what they are called in most cms systems. For instance, you have your main content area, but off to the left you have your main menu, sponserd links and so on.

If I wanted to add an extra spot to put some links to artlicles or whatever else, can that be done in the admin area?

Id really like to demo the admin area if I can somehow so I can answer my own questions..

Content visible to registered users only.

added via html in the smarty tpls

you can demo the admin area here:
www.sherlockdirectory.com/admin (http://www.sherlockdirectory.com/admin)
login: sherlock
password: holmes

so the text on the pages all has to be edited by code?

[neurosis4u]

Yes, of course...

phpld is a smarty and template based directory script... and this script is not like a content-management-system

The features from the script are for adding, listing and manage links, not for manage content :o

If you need help with learning how to edit the templates, we'll be glad to help you here on the forums.

ok, my goal for my website is something along the lines of allthewebsites.org . A nice link directory with other information available. Articles and stuff.

An option i just thought of.. Is it possible to strip the script of the header footer and menu system and have only the categories display? I could then use the directory inside a wrapper on joomla.. I would make all the links for adding a link and stuff with the joomla menu system.
