Uploading the files
Download the ZIP-file found here on the downloads page onto your local machine.
Unzip it, and FTP all the folders and files to your webserver.
You will usually put the files into the 'html' files directory. This may be called htmldoc or something similar. Some ISPs may require you to use a a 'cgi' files directory.
The files and folders are:
index.php - a small script calling the file cmsimple/cms.php
FOLDER: cmsimple (also used for backup files)
.htaccess - makes the folder unavailable through http - but ONLY on Linux!
config.php - the configuration of the site
image.php - the images used for the menu and editor buttons
log.txt - the login log
cms.php - the content management system
With CMSimple 2.6 cms.php has been split up into these files:
cms.php - it is possible to run as a stand alone application with no admin interface etc.
adm.php - admin interface
login.php - login procedures
mailform.php - the build-in mailform
gbook.php - the build-in guestbook - NOT SPAMPROOF!
oedit.php - the build-in editor
search.php - search procedures
SUBFOLDER: cmsimple/languages
Here, the language files are kept. Each language is given a two letter name with the extension 'php', ie. en.php. The default language for the site is English, but this may be changed in the config.php. Each of these files contains language specific text strings, such as error messages, and text stubs for the editor.
FOLDER: content
content.htm - the content is stored in this file.
guestbook.txt - the content of the guestbook
.htaccess - makes the folder unavailable through http - but ONLY on Linux!
Later, a series of backup files will be stored in this directory- they will have names like 20040111003159 - the time of their creation.
FOLDER: downloads - the folder to place files available for download. The files here will automatically be available through the link select box in the editor.
FOLDER: images - the folder to place the images for the site. The files here will automatically be available through the image select box in the editor.
SUBFOLDER: images/flags needed for a multi-language setup.
SUBFOLDER: images/editor (optional) If a subfolder editor is setup in images, the editor will try to get its button images from this folder; otherwise the editor will get the images stored in cmsimple/image.php.
FOLDER: templates
The layout templates are kept here. To create your own template, make a copy of the default template folder and rename it to something else. You now edit the new files. You may also download templates from third party sources. You may select the new template by editing the cmsimple/config.php file. This can also be changed online by selecting the [SETTINGS] Edit Configuration, or even dynamically using CMSimple scripting.
SUBFOLDER: templates/default - the default layout
stylesheet.css - the stylesheet for the template
template.htm - the HTML layout template
SUBFOLDER: SUBFOLDER: templates/default/images Layout specific images.
SUBFOLDER: SUBFOLDER: templates/default/menu Used for the (TOC) table of content graphics.If the subfolder
