WebsiteBaker Support (2.8.x) > Templates, Menus & Design
New template: Multiflex-3
xyloweb:
I must be missing something really basic.
I really just need some basic instructions for Multiflex 3.
I am a part-time developer, who has a non-technical user see a demo for WebsiteBaker.
She chose Multiflex-3 as her favorite template.
I have successfully installed WB and Multiflex-3.
She can use the web-based menus to change the menus and the content body.
However, there are sever things she (and I) cannot figure out how to change.
I see on the right "Latest News" with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit."
This section appears on every page, so it must be global to the site.
I cannot find any reference to the page in the web admin system, and I have downloaded all the files and searched through the file contents with no luck. I am at a loss at how this text is generated. It must be loaded in the MySQL tables (which I can get to), but I feel certain there must be a web-based way to alter them.
Other different colored sections are on the right with the same latin text.
I also see an "Other Menu" on the left.
I would also like to change the global page header image and text ("EASY • FLEXIBLE • ROBUST, etc...").
I looked for instructions on this template, and found this: http://www.1234.info/webtemplates/multiflex3/
It says to "Check the navigation menu to discover more!", but I've clicked on everything, and can't find any more info.
I've browsed the website baker documentation, but don't find any mention of the side menus.
I looked at add-ons, and see version 4.5 listed on my site. So I know I have it.
Again, I feel like I am missing something really simple here. I can write PHP and MySQL until the cows come home, but installed this so that my non-technical user could edit her web site with only minimal assistance from me. She saw a demo that made site-editing look dirt-easy, so what am I missing?

Hello,
please first read our docu. (http://help.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/en/advanced-docu.php) Some of your questions are explained there. If not you got an overview about the template structure wich should help you to find the code you are looking for. Basically all is written in the index.php of the template. To look on 1234.info cannot help, as the code you are looking for is a WB snippet and has nothing to do with the basic template code.

These are example texts, hardcoded in the index.php from line 207 on. There are a number of similar blocks, looking like this:
--- Code: ---<!-- Subcontent unit -->
<div class="subcontent-unit-border">
<div class="round-border-topleft"></div><div class="round-border-topright"></div>
<h1>Latest News</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.</p>
</div>
--- End code ---
--- Quote --- I also see an "Other Menu" on the left.
--- End quote ---
That's on line 151:
--- Code: --- <!-- Navigation Level 3 -->
<div class="round-border-topright"></div>
<h1 class="first">Other Menu</h1>
--- End code ---
--- Quote ---I would also like to change the global page header image and text ("EASY • FLEXIBLE • ROBUST, etc...").
--- End quote ---
That's also hardcoded in the index.php, from line 95:
--- Code: --- <div class="sitemessage">
<h1>EASY • FLEXIBLE • ROBUST</h1>
<h2>The third generation Multiflex is<br /> here, now with cooler design<br /> features and easier code!</h2>
<h3><a href="#">›› More details</a></h3>
</div>
--- End code ---

That is the original, non-WB version of the template. The WB-version is here: http://www.coenjaerts.com/pages/downloads.php. Just remove all the example stuff and insert WB-code for news, and other menu and content blocks where you want. See the demo at http://www.coenjaerts.com/pages/templates/multiflex-3/multiflex-3-demo.php.

OK, I think I found my main problem. When searching for text in files, Win XP has a bug that does not search through all file types (.e.g. PHP). I am absolutely astounded that an operating system that has been out this long has such a basic bug.
NOW, I can find the text in PHP files in ...\Multiflex-3\index.php
From reading above, it sounds like all of the global text/graphics need to be changed in index.php, which I can do.
I will also read the advanced documentation to see what I can find.
Thanks.

LOL I can't believe you did a search with XP to find the things you were lookign for. Mate, the template file is only index.php, and it's very small. Didn't you look at the file at all?? :roll:
