Right I am still trying to work out how the heck to update my website myself. I've signed up to Cushycms, have added my site and assigned my pages to it and was feeling very pleased with myself but then I totally got stumped!

It's this bit: 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.

I've looked at the example and tried to follow the instructions but I lost it when he went 'ahh what's happened here is..'

Anyone willing and able to help a non-techie out, please?

Hi Sarah

Well I can try although I have never used CushyCMS but have used other CMS systems.

Please do you have more info about what it is you don't understand or a link to more info.

starting at the beginning, do you know which parts of the page are editable? And were you able to add in the cushycms class name? It might help to know at which specific point you came unstuck and take it from there.

No I don't know which pages are editable, is there a way to work it out??

This is the bit I am stuck on:

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).

Sarah, from what I can see any of the pages or any particular portions of the pages can be made editable by including:

class="cushycms"

in any section that you want to change such as the main heading before your content or your main content whereas content that you do not want to change (such as some footer text) does not need this class setting added.

The sample you have shown is the code template for each new page in your CushyCMS website. By changing the code template and adding that class to each section you want to be able to write text into will mean that when you create a new page from the template, those portions of the page can have text entered into them. It is a bit like when you make a posting on this forum in that you are shown an editor which you can type text into, then when you click Submit or Save the text is then made visible to everyone. However, there are parts of the page which you cannot type text into because they are not defined as editable.

Does that make sense? If not, I am happy to try to explain more.

I think so. Thanks!

I'll give it a bash in a bit.

OK, but do come back again if not.
