TAV1702 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 The best thing to do is to look at the deafult crystal template. Study the layout.tpl file. Then look at the code you posted and compare. The code you posted is a basic page that essentially would work. All your other pages that you wish to add, copy them right out of the core/templates folder. So for example, you create your own skin called mySkin. In your folder of mySkin, you would place all copied pages from the core templates like the nav.tpl file, frontpage_main, etc etc. It really isn't that bad once you get it figured out. But that is the whole trick, getting the required code in the right places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAV1702 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 You need to get in to your .css file and edit the footer to adjust the text where you would like it to be positioned at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
