Custom Templates

Creating a template for Organic CMS is simple. Each template should be located in its own individual folder in the templates folder. All necessary template files (scripts, stylesheets, images, etc.) should be stored inside that template's folder. An example would be a template named "template01" which should be located in the directory templates/template01/.

Organic CMS comes prepacked with a default template named "default". You can use this default template and create your own template from learning and analyzing how the default template is structured.

Template Files

Organic CMS allows you to customize the entire website from the top to the bottom of the page. The main template should be named as index.tpl.

Extended Template Files

You also have the ability to further extend your template with additional files by just simply creating new template files and including them in your code enclosed within brackets "{ and }".

Examples:

{header.tpl} will display contents from header.tpl

{footer.tpl} will display contents from {footer.tpl}
