Information for Developers and Designers

Designer

The design of a website created with Textrinum is determined by the template. Here are the typical tools such as CSS and JavaScript are used. There is not much to note except that the placeholder for the changing content, navigation trees, page titles and meta information are set correctly and with the meta.xml.php match. The placeholder names can be edited from the Properties column in the Templates tab . The supplied default template is a good start. Informations on the folder structure can be found here.

Developers

To manipulate the output of a site, there are three global variables and one global object available. These can be raised and handled by plugins.
