Where to edit what?

Backend

Create appropriate plugins for your work, of course they have to be stored in the plugins directory.

---

Frontend

The markup of components provided by plugins are in the folder of the plugin: plugins/author/pluginname/components/nameofcomponent/default.htm

All other files are in the themes/wings folder.

Less/CSS

You can find the less files in assets/less/.* The file that should be compiled after changes is the bootstrap.less file. As the styles.less got really long (and ugly) please create a new less file for the page your are working on (about.less, students.less, faculties.less ...) and include them in the bootstrap.less. You will need to install a less compiler if you don't have one. If you use Brackets or Atom there is a less autocompile plugin and the files are already configured to work with it.

Content The content can be found in the content folder, there are subfolders for each site.

Pages The pages can be found in the pages directory, please read the October CMS documentation about pages before editing the file. If you just want to do minor changes don't change anything in the first to blocks separated by the ==.

Text you write directly in the page should be written like that:

{{ 'your text' |_ }}

this enables translating for this text.

If you have bigger text parts please use the editable component with a content block:

title and config
....
[editable about]
file = "home/about.htm"
...
other components

==
the code section
==
the page
...
{% component 'about' %}
...
rest of the page

You have to create the content file in the content folder (e.g. the content/home/about.htm).

Layouts

All pages except the startpage are rendered in the title-text layout (layouts/title-text.htm). The start page uses the start-page.htm layout.
