How can I use Artisteer template in Quick.cms ? |

HI does anyone have solutions on how to use an Arrtisteer html template, in Quick.cms opensolution.org. Their cms uses 2 css files, a default.css and a plugin.css, and the content of those looks very different from the css content from artisteer. Wich parts should go in wich file ? and what coloums to rename etc.
In the forum of quick.cms is a graphic showing the construct of the default.css, but it doesnt seem to work for me, even now where I have bought artisteer 2.
I did create the design I wanted, and now i am having problems getting it to work in that not yet supported cms.
I did post this under "call me anything", ( I misunderstood Title !) where some Garry answered as if he did'nt bother to read the question all the way, and wrote about some none existing files, in that cms.
Hope for some intelligent people out there... thanks

You can design a website template and export it, It'll provide you a home.php and style.css etc you should copy your style.css into default.css of your template and use the home.php as supported by quick cms.
Plugin.css refers to the plugins used by your cms but default.css is used by your template on quick cms.
Hope that helps

Hi Garry,
Again... Neither Artisteer nor Quick.cms provides any home.php.
And editing this default.css was my first try, before asking anything here, so no this did not help
Thank you

Peter, Garry's advice is correct. He just said home.php instead of index.html, or index.htm, or whatever the file is called that Artisteer creates. You'll find it - it's the main page template.
For specific help with Quick.cms, you may need to consult a theming tutorial specific to that CMS. There aren't a whole lot of QCMS users posting here. Just in case, though, here is a bump.

HI Jesus,
I have bought the smaller of Artisteer license, wich provides html, and wordpress templates. I did allready try to replace the content of default.css.but that did work out wrong.
The index.php ( where you think Garry made a correct advice) has a lot of divs, and code much more different than what Artisteer produces, wich again made me ask for help here.
What you do, is simply pas my problem further on to the producers of the cms, when my question was how to ´change the outcome of Artisteer, so I can use it, inside this cms. Since you seem to be experts of coding of html, and css, the advice from you and Garry, helped me as much, as if I did'nt even ask.

Peter,
I understand that you are frustrated and that's why you're taking the flippant tone.
Let me correct this.
I don't "THINK" Garry is correct - it's a FACT that you will have to modify the HTML and CSS files by hand in order to use it with Quick.cms.
I very kindly pointed out that you're probably the only person who uses Quick.cms here, and that for help, you should consult a tutorial at the Quick.cms site.
That's not "passing your question further on" to the devs of Quick.cms... I told you to check out their theme tutorial. It's YOUR responsibility to modify the template to work, because Artisteer does NOT currently support QCMS!
Instead of simply ignoring your question, I pointed out that nobody here is an expert (as you sarcastically stated) on QCMS - and stated that your best bet is to consult a theme tutorial for QCMS so that you can learn the necessary modifications to an HTML template.
Please read what I'm saying. I (and nobody else here apparently) am not familiar with Quick.cms - we can't tell you how to "modify the Artisteer template" to work with a CMS we don't use!
Please, lay off the rage. I love you.

I understand, that you must feel harm, inspite your last 3 words.
1. st fact - I am a paying custumer
2. fact - this is a forum, where people ask for help, and since it is on the internet, the whole world is reading along, so your 'nobody here are familiar with that cms' is not intirely true. That you or Garry, are not able to support, is not the same, as everyone. This is not a 'flippant' tone, it appears now to be a fact.
Then a 3.rd fact, - I did modidy the html, and the css - by hand, then when it did'nt work out , I went for help, in an aparently international forum, where other people in the world could have had a similiar problem, who was able to come up with some kind of solution.
I do not know, if you Jesus or Garry are staff members of Artisteer, but if you are, your simple answer could have been: "we are sorry, but we are not able to support your issue, at this time - greetings name/ staff member"
Where you misunderstand me, is where I respond, to the non helping responds, in my post, wich is not only not helping, but leaving an impression of having solved the question, in the post, wich is not true.
At first I was only asking, without rage, but your last post Jesus, does turn the tone 'not kindly' even though you claim you kindly pointed out..
Please Jesus, let those who could have the time, and energy to help, come to word, instead of this non topic sarcasm.
Cool down, Jesus, and use your energy where you can help,
hav a nice day

LOL, I feel no harm and am cool! I do like you, Peter. I actually love you, and if it seemed any other way, that's not true. Believe in me!
I am not associated with Artisteer, and I never claimed to have solved your problem! Please don't be under that impression.
As for nobody here using QuickCMS, perhaps you're right - there may be people here who use it. However, nobody has chipped in yet, so that's not useful to you! However, since only non-Quick users have replied to you, we can only suggest that you check out their theme design tutorial - http://opensolution.org/Quick.Cms/docs/?id=design is where it is.
If you've tried that, and I gather that you have, I have no further help. But again, I hope that someone who knows the ins & outs of QuickCMS comes to help.
I truly do enjoy your presence, no joke. I wish the best for you!
Extreme love, joy, and peace to you and yours.

Hi Jesus  ,
That was nice.
Yes you're right, I tried their design manual, and read and tried, and back again.
But since there is more to it than that, I went for help here, mostly because it is the design I made with Artisteer, wich I would like to se, on the site.
I wish the best for you too.

Why not you try Joomla instead of Quick CMS
|

Peter

Hi Garry,
The reason why, I don't use Joomla, or Drupal, is because they use database's
while Quick CMS uses FLatfiles, simple txtfiles wich anyone can edit. No need to connect to database, no connecting errors, and very easy to take a backup of.. and.. sometime what I have made, is being passed on, to someone else, who i'm certain, they are not able to fix any database issues.
The one big failure Quick Cms has, is the ability to change design / css, in there this is not so easy, as the rest of its system. In fact if you don't need to change design, Quick CMS is as easy to use, as scratching your ear
Many peeople has told me to do exactly what you ask, but they did'nt ask as politely as you
