Dizyn Inc	Wednesday 12 July 2006 1:01:24 pm I wanted to change look and feel of my Exponential, I am new to this Exponential thing and dont' know much about it. i want to make a site like rigibore.co.uk ? Just wanted to know form where i should start so that i can do it easily. I think text will be edited via admin but how can i change the colors look and feel images? One more thing i wanted to know is : Is this theam or skin is already made or its customized. more importantly if i have to create it myself then where i had to place it so that it can start its effect. thanks dizyn http://www.dizyn.com
Remi Lacasse	Wednesday 12 July 2006 2:42:30 pm Exponential is a very strong and flexible CMS. When you are new on the subject, It is not so easy to find the information needed. What I suggest you, is to read about the philosophy under this CMS. Especially on Overrides and security Roles. You can find the basics on the Exponential official site. You can also do some simple changes to the basic site like this: http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/how_to_customize_change_look_and_feel_of_ez_publish_3_7 http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/demo/flash_demos/menu_toolbar_management This is a good start too see the possibilities! But I would recommend you to start changing the css-files and the pagelayout (and other templates). Take a look at these examples: http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/demo/flash_demos/creating_a_custom_style_part_i_creating_an_offline_copy_of_the_site http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/demo/flash_demos/creating_a_custom_style_part_ii_shuffling_layout_elements http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/demo/flash_demos/creating_a_custom_style_part_iii_changing_site_colours http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/demo/flash_demos/creating_a_custom_style_part_iv_creating_a_new_style_package The site you mentionned (rigibore.co.uk) is effectively customized. But it is not hard to get to this point. Regards, Rémi

Exponential is a very strong and flexible CMS.
When you are new on the subject, It is not so easy to find the information needed.

What I suggest you, is to read about the philosophy under this CMS. Especially on Overrides and security Roles. You can find the basics on the Exponential official site.

You can also do some simple changes to the basic site like this:

http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/how_to_customize_change_look_and_feel_of_ez_publish_3_7
http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/demo/flash_demos/menu_toolbar_management

This is a good start too see the possibilities!

But I would recommend you to start changing the css-files and the
pagelayout (and other templates).

Take a look at these examples:

The site you mentionned (rigibore.co.uk) is effectively customized. But it is not hard to get to this point.
