Nice is it possible you could share the TAGS_HELPER.monstraCMS.php as well? since it would be usefull to have that file so i can add tags up on your tutorial video smile

Re: Video Tutorial - How to create Theme for MonstraCMS

@RomanArt: It might be better if you make a simple (simplest) template starter for us smile Only HTML and some empty CSS and JS file...

Re: Video Tutorial - How to create Theme for MonstraCMS

No, I mean, just a HTML template with some empty file that already placed in the theme, example header.chunk.php


  
    
    <?php echo Site::name() . ' - ' . Site::title(); ?>

then inside that public/themes/default/css/style.css there is nothing than just, for example...

/* Write your stylesheet here */
body {}

okay no ja is fine, but i not going to style theme inside html, so i need css file for sure

No, this is a starter theme, so nothing more than just plain HTML with some CMS logic inside. The rest is for the developer. What they need to know is only about where to place the CMS logic, the assets, etc, so if you provide them a starter template, they could focus only in design without confuse about the CMS templating for their first time.

Re: Video Tutorial - How to create Theme for MonstraCMS

Ok i get ur point, but mostly dat is starting theme for developers rather that normal users, cause normal users will not make a theme from scratch, they will use a nice pre made one .
I will make a simple theme, just to show cms logic

Re: Video Tutorial - How to create Theme for MonstraCMS

отличный турториал. больше не пробуй записывать. мы берём, вырезаем здесь, вставляем сюда и профит. Это рукалицо. Что, зачем, почему... Я думал посмотрю турториал и сделаю тему. Начало оочень многообещающим было, но когда ты начал редактировать шаблоны я понял всю мощь.
