Introduction

GausCMS is an ASP very simple to use content management system. It uses a flat file system which makes it easy to configure and port into any existing website or to any new website.

This documentation details the steps that can be taken to further customize your copy of GausCMS. The instructions detailed in this document are NOT neccessary to get your copy of GausCMS up and running, these are additional steps that can be taken to further customize your CMS by creating skins, language files, profiles and managing passwords for it. They should only be taken if you are interested in changing the look of your GausCMS or to add additional languages. For instructions on setting up GausCMS into your site please refer to readme.htm.


Profiles, Users and passwords

GausCMS has two types of users, Administrator and User.

Administrator has access to all features of GausCMS including an Admin section for passwords managemant.
User has limited access of features, it's main purpose is to allow the website owner editing existing pages on his website

Profiles

You can find the profiles.asp file in admin_includes/profiles.
At the moment the only feature available is the FCK Editor buttons sets.
For more information about FCK Editor, please refer to http://www.fckeditor.net

Passwords management

The default Usernames and Passwords are:

Uesrs Passwords
admin password
user password

You can change the Users names in the config.asp located at admin_includes/config.asp

To change the passwords

  1. Login as administrator
  2. Go to admin
  3. write your new password in the left input box
  4. press the "Secure button"
  5. Save the new password
Note: The passwords are enctyped, to see the normal text password, press the Unsecure button.

To avoid confusion, the users names can be what ever you choose, but the users types will always be the same ie: Admin, User.


Creating a Skin for GausCMS

GausCMS give's you the ability to skin the CMS. If you have some knowledge of CSS this is a simple task.

Skins are stored in admin_includes/template/skins/.

Create a directory for your skin in admin_includes/template/skins/ giving it a logical name. Copy over the default skin directory to use as a template and edit it as you wish.

Your new skin will automatically be selectable from the preferences section. If you would like to set your new skin to the default skin for GausCMS simply modify your admin_includes/config.asp to load the new skin by default.
 


Setting up Interface Language

Path to Languages directory = admin_includes/template/languages/

1. Create a new directory and call it with the language name you want to set up.
2. Create a new file called "your language name.asp" in the language directory you just created.
3. Follow the words list bellow.

Note: It's very important to keep the same order of words when writing a language ASP page, in order to get the right words at the write place.
You can copy the english.asp file to your new language directory, and use it as a template.

Your new language will automatically be selectable from the preferences section. If you would like to set your new language to the default language for GausCMS simply modify your admin_includes/config.asp to load the new lnguage by default.

Changing the main Splash Screen

Simply edit the splash.png located at admin_includes/splash.png
To edit the splash.png you will need a graphic editor program like (photoshop).
Save your new splash.png overwriting the existing one.
It would be nice if you could keep the credits in the splash.png, or put theme somewhere else on the main page.

That's it, Enjoy!
