[opencms-dev] Creating and Using Templates

[Michael, Nick N]

This is one of the issues with the documentation

It assumes you know how to make templates

There is no simple usable template 
One wants a simple template with a navigator and a breadcrumb
that uses a stylesheet with a header banner and a footer image

But it seems you must invest money to get the training and buy a book 

That is how newbies are expected to learn spend the cash to learn or buy
templates

and get helped


With kind regards

After respondig your e-mail I tried to create a simple template and I've
found out that certanly only the static content is shown, however I've
discovered the problem. Open the new page with the option "Edit
controlcode". You will see two sections one started with <page
language="de"> for the german content, and other with <page language="en">
for the english content. If you have already written something, it will
appear between the <content> tags of one of the two languages. Be sure that
the name of the element here, before the content, specified with the line
<element name="something"> is the same you use in the template, <cms:include
element= "something"/>.
Now the content is shown in the page as well.

Hi Folks,

I'm an OpenCMS newbie, using version 6.0.

I've created a new template based on instructions from
the Alkacon documentation "JSP template development
Howto".

When I create a new page that uses the template, I
only see the static text output from the template, but
not the body of my page.  My template does include the
body tag, <cms:include element= "body"/>.

I was able to get this to work *once* for a new page,
but now I can't get it to work for any other new
pages.  

Is there some relationship between modules, templates,
projects, and folders that I need to establish in
order to use the template successfully?

Thank you for your assistance,
-Amy
