Getting Started

I want to get started using the product to manage the content of my existing site. The install ran fine. Now what? I'd like to add a managed page to the site. I use Dreamweaver for my editor.

Is there a tutorial available? I'm a newbie to content management systems. We have Stellent & WCM at my real job, but I don't really use them often.:)

Well darn!! I've been thinking about finding some paid hosting, but don't have the cash at the moment since I lost my job back in January.

Thanks for all the help.

No, unfortunately not. There is no way to fix the problems after GoDaddy seems to add their ad code to any PHP generated output. You may want to switch later to a paid webhosting account.

So my "Automated Tasks" that I have setup won't run in the cadmin?

This is another issues that is caused by the GoDaddy ad. Basically, the ad code will be automatically attached to the image and corrupt the image. This will also happend with other attached images.

As a workaround, download the image from another website and then replace {$insert['site_tasks']} with <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/ http://www.contentteller.com"><img src="https://www.contentteller.com/images/logo.png" /></a>. You need to change images/logo.png to the path of the saved logo. The downside of this workaround is that automated tasks will be not executed.

I've moved the site_task to the footer, but the PNG image file is not displaying. I've seen this image on other CT sites, but I haven't seen it since day one on my site.

Thanks,

I am afraid there are not much tutorials except those  4 basics tutorials, but I will work on the documentation in the next couple of weeks.

You can port any layout you want to Contentteller after the entire layout is stored in templates. You can edit each template under Templates => Manage Templates. However, you need some basic HTML knowledge to port a full layout.

A few tips:
1) If you view the source of your Contentteller based website you see the name of the used template as comments in the source code. For example, <!-- Template: site_header --> or <!-- Template: content_page -->. Now you need to replace every used template with the source code generated by Dreamweaver.

2) Another thing you can try is marking the content area in your Dreamweaver page with CONTENT_HERE. Now view the HTML code and copy & paste everything before CONTENT_HERE into the site_header template and everything after CONTENT_HERE into your site_footer template.

If you are doing this, you should keep the following intact:
The head information before <!-- Template: site_header --> after they include the CSS needed for the other templates:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>



  <meta content="text/html; charset={$insert['page_charset']}" http-equiv="content-type" />

  <meta name="generator" content="Esselbach Contentteller CMS" />

  <meta name="description" content="{$insert['page_description']}" />

  <meta name="keywords" content="{$insert['page_keywords']}" /> 

  <base href="https://www.contentteller.com/{$insert['site_url']}/" />

  <title>{$insert['page_name']}</title>



  {$insert['page_rss']}



  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://www.contentteller.com/contentteller.php?ct=core&amp;action=css&amp;id={$insert['site_theme']}" title="Theme #{$insert['site_theme']}" />



</head>



<body>


The code where the "Managed with Contentteller" notice appear:
<!-- Do not remove -->

{$insert['site_tasks']}

<!-- Do not remove -->


3) You can also change the appearance of the current templates with the Instant Style editor:
 How do I change the default style of the layout?

This is possibly the easiest way to customize the appearance of the website.
