Neat job, though I still say TP without the forum would make a very easy and handy web authoring system. CSS, templates, html pages, menu's, it's got it all.

:) Yeah, guess i have to shed some light on how its done now lol.

Bill.Ramby, I can see you point, but SMF do take out the grunt of development in already providing the login/session system and the theme system. That would all had to be added in from scratch since TP relies so heavily on it.

For the "blocblog" theme...basically I stripped everything from index.template after <body> tag and used my own html. Added the links to article categories up top and this code underneath to avoid people using the boards, I put it in template_init() function:

Code Select
// no forum..
if(isset($_GET['board']) || isset($_GET['topic']) || (isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action']=='forum'))
redirectexit('cat=art');

The "cat=art" needs explaining, its of course the same as index.php?cat=2 or cat=art (in TP1.0 you can have names for category queries as well)

I also added in a few links on the bottom under the copyright, so you can eaisly login/profile etc. there. And thats basically it. No forum visble, but all the admin/TP stuff to be used.

Well I finally found something to use. It's not perfect, but it will do for him. CMSimple. It's decent. I wont be venturing again out of the forum/portal world any time soon again though. ;D

Have you tried snippetmaster. It is free,works great and any idiot can use it.You put tags in the code and everything in between is editable

www.snippetmaster.com

The attached image is of a homepage [it could be any page] the wysiwyg editor opens up after the page/file is selected. It may not be what you want but worth a look because there is no such thing as a template---it is whatever you got---just editable.

I am sure the owner would not mind paying the small fee to get the pro version which is even more exellent. I do not think there is any restriction on use for the free version
The only prob is that the files have to be writable to save the edits----the developer  makes a convincing argument as to why this is ok...

whoops!!! attachment has  private info===gone
