Do you guys have a section that is just tutorials (no posts with questions/issues?)

Hi,

We don't currently have this, but we are planning on creating a Knowledge Base section to our website that will have a collection of tutorials and tips.

Until this is ready, the best place to start is with these threads in the forum:

Thanks

Thanks, Jason. Having a single URL for tutorials will help. Weeding through posts is time consuming.

This is my 3rd attempt in trying to use CMS Builder. What would be really useful for new users is a declaration somewhere at the forefront stating that CMS builder crafts content in php for insertion into your Dreamweaver or other program-created pages to insert content AND, which should probably be the first step, it customizes the interface for crafting the pre-insertion code.

Plus, you need to profile how all of this fits within the directory of the site. i.e., can you have a traditional site structure:

Directories:

news
city
020312

news
suburbs
020312

We need very specific directions a it relates to traditional site structuring.

In other words, the instructions are not clear enough.

Hi Milerk,

It's always a challenge when starting to learn a new programming paradigm.

It sounds like you're experiencing what most of us have felt when we started trying to understand how to convert from a static web design approach to a dynamic approach.

We all struggled at first, and then PHP and CMSB started to make perfect sense.

I think that you'll find the information and help that you're looking for in my CMSB Cookbook thecmsbcookbook.com.

In addition to a large number of recipes for specific tasks, there's an entire chapter on a step by step to understanding how CMS Builder works and how to create/convert various types of basic pages for a web site.

As you get more advanced, you'll find that the forum is a really good place to get specific answers to specific questions that will help you to get un-stuck.

Good luck and keep plugging,

Jerry Kornbluth
