Hi and welcome Alan

While it does not contain any video, I think you should find the detailed step-by-step tutorial we have as part of the docs useful -
http://www.couchcms.com/docs/tutorials/portfolio-site/

Thank you very much will have a look.

I am using webplus at the moment. The file structure is slightly different does that cause a problem.?

I personally have no experience with webplus, I'm afraid.
As long as the output is plain HTML files, it shouldn't make any difference as to which tool is used to generate them.

Ok thanks will have a go and report back
I have managed to set up the demo ok. Looks brilliant so far.

Is it possible to change the text colour or do i do this in the css manually.
thanks for a brilliant cms.

Just one question I forgot to ask of like Web plus the folder structure is different does the couch folder still go into the root or into whichever has the web pages in it.
Thanks for the speedy reply. Magic.

Place 'couch' folder in your site's root i.e. if you can access your site as
http://www.yoursite.com/, Couch should be accessible as http://www.yoursite.com/couch/

Now depending on the location of your templates (i.e. the html files renamed to .php extensions), you'll nave to adjust the first PHP line of code we place in each template e.g.

1. if a template, say named 'test.php', is in the root itself (i.e. can be accessed as http://www.yoursite.com/test.php), the code would be

Code: Select all

<?php require_once 'couch/cms.php'; ?>

2. if the template is in a subfolder, say named 'sub' (i.e. can be accessed as http://www.yoursite.com/sub/test.php), the code would be

Code: Select all

<?php require_once '../couch/cms.php'; ?>

3. if the template is nested even deeper, say in a child folder of 'sub' named 'sub2' (i.e. can be accessed as http://www.yoursite.com/sub/sub2/test.php), the code would be

Code: Select all

<?php require_once '../../couch/cms.php'; ?>

I think you must have got the point.

Hope this helps.
