Hi Aniesh,

Thanks for the post!

The best way to work through the integration will be in sections, for example you may want to start by focusing on the header section of your website. You'll find your header.html template in the /templates/singlePages/ directory on your server. Begin by editing this template file to match how you'd like the header of the website your developing to look. :)

After your happy with these edits sae your changes and re-uplaod the file back into your /templates/singlePages/ directory. Then your final step will be to re-publish the "Header" publish rule, to do this login to your Article Manager admin section and go to 'Admin' --> 'Publishing'. From this page find the "Header" publish rule and select the 'publish' link for this rule!

You'll now see the effects of these changes on your published Article Manager pages.

Does this help Aniesh? If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. :)

Re: [aniesh82] Hi All [In reply to] Can't Post
Hello

Very thanks for the immediate response. I have some other jobs today, so couldnot try header creation. My first requirement is to build a home page. If you can help me to accomplish that, I can do the remaining work easily.

The site want to look like this : www.stampede-projects.net/webkitchen/
I changed the dafult.html for the home page. Now it will display like this
www.webkitchen.ie/content/ with Heading1,2,3,4 will want to replace from Article Manager admin section.Heading 1, I think we can place an article. What can do in Heading 2 section? In Heading 4, wants to list the data after number or by an arrow mark. How can I do this ? Can I use any editor to accomplish this in admin panel ?

Can you please reply this? As I am on starting point, thats why I asked this questions.

Regards
Aniesh Joseph

Hi Aniesh,

Thanks for the post!

Building your Article Manager index page involves a few different template files with eeach template controlling a small portion of the page. For example there's a header template, menu template and a headlines template that will all be pulled into your globalIndex.page because of this you'll find it much easier to concentrate on one template file at a time. :)

I would suggest first working through the header template, edit this template file to reflect the black banner bar at the top of your sample site. After you have finished this please feel free to follow-up with us and we'll be happy to guide you thorugh the next steps.

How does this Aniesh? If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Re: [ChetW] Hi All [In reply to] Can't Post
Hello

Thanks for your reply.

I will start that way from tomorrow. I donot find any header.html in any directory. Anyway I will make it from the main template. How can I include these header templates(header,side menu) to default.html (templates/index/deafult.html). Can we include these files into html file ?

Regards
Aniesh Joseph

Hi Aniesh,

Thanks for the follow-up!

I had made a mistake here and thought that you had been using Article Manager2. So what you may want to do is still begin with re-creating the header section, however you'll want to add your header code to the default.html template file. :)

Also if your jsut beginning with Article Manager you may want to consider using Article Manager2, the changes made to Article Manager2 will give you many options that Article Manager one didn't have and it's a free upgrade. You can download Article Manager2 by using this link:

How does this sound Aniesh? I look forward to hearing back from you soon!

Re: [aniesh82] Hi All [In reply to] Can't Post
Hello,

I started to work on AM2 for a new site. Today I have created the header and footer and included to globalindex.html like below:

<?php include('$published.sitefooter.filename$'); ?>

Is it correct?

I removed all placeholder except the include statement. I got this error when I try to add new article.

The server timed out and was unable to complete publishing.
The last status message was: Error: templatecell 'articleRow' wasn't found in 'articleLists/globalIndex.html'!

But I can add new categories successfully.

I did not add any code to include any category list or list articles on the globalindex page. Is any problem ?

Hi Aniesh82,

Thanks for the post!

What you will want to do is go through your "globalIndex.html" template file and be sure that you have both the opening and closing articlerow templatecells. These templatecells look like this:

<!-- templatecell : articleRow -->
<!-- /templatecell : articleRow -->

Give this a try aniesh82 and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask. :)
