i am trying to get CMS software to work with sitespinner
the software is free and its cushycms the problem is i am getting the instructions below,................................................................................. You first need to let Cushy know what parts of your page are editable. You do this by adding a class name of cushycms to each of your editable elements. Example: <h1 class="cushycms" title="My Heading">This will become editable</h1> <div class="cushycms" title="Main Content"> <p>More editable stuff here...</p> </div> <p>I'm not editable.</p> <img class="cushycms" src="foo.jpg" alt="I'm an editable image!!" />An optional title attribute can be used to name each editable area (see above). ive tried adding class="cushycms" using the code button but to no avail, ive also tried viewing as HTML and adding there but again unable to do so, has anyone got any ideas as this would be a useful tool for a customer to use thanks |

Are you talking about the Code field in the text object's Link Editor window? To get the cushycms system to work, you will need to "wrap" the desired SiteSpinner object with the cushy class code. Probably the easiest way to do this is with a code object. Inside the code editor window, enter: <div class="cushycms"> <br> </div>Save and close the code window. Position it where you want on the page and make it large enough to hold the expected text when edited in cushy. Publish the page and access it via the cushycms site to edit the code window area. There is a limitation to how much editing can be performed via cushy. SiteSpinner creates absolute positioned HTML objects while the cushy system expects relative positioned objects. This means that edited text could get cut off if it exceeds the SiteSpinner container object boundaries. Using SiteSpinner relative positioned and sized objects may help in this matter, but I did not test it. To allow images to be changed by the user, you will need SS-Pro or SS-Beta. Add your dummy image to the page, then open the geometry editor to the Outline tab. In the Code field at the bottom, enter class='cushycms' and this image can now be changed via the cushycms site. Again, I must warn you that the SiteSpinner absolute positioning could cause a user added image to be clipped or re-sized, or cover other objects on the page depending upon the image's z-index. |
