<div>==Patterns, photos, gradients, brushes, and more==<br />
There are many generous people out on the internet who like to show off their work and allow other people to build on things they've produced. It is important to carefully read the terms of use that are provided with any person's work. Many people are glad to have you use their source material provide it isn't for commercial work. Some really want attribution on your website if you use their source material. No-one wants you to take their work and say it's yours, or resell it as is for profit, but there are many generous folks who will let you use their work even in commerical ventures. If you have any question about how you're using tools from the internet, contact the owner and ask them how they feel about. Below are some of my favorite sites for finding interesting and helpful tools for producing web graphics.<br />
<br />
===Brushes, textures, patterns, & fonts===<br />
If you've never played with brushes in Photoshop, Painter, or the Gimp you're in for a treat. Brushes can add texture or graphical elements at any size and can take a plain uninteresting web site that next step into eye-catching.<br />

<div>You should have received a message from SWCP with your admin username and password, and the URL of your vlw installation. Assuming your url looks like: http://www.mysite.com/vlw/, you'll find your admin panel at http://www.mysite.com/vlw/admin/<br />
<br />
Login with your admin username and password and you'll be presented with a panel for setup and editing your vlw web site.<br />
<br />
To start<br />
<br />
# Set the site name and the footer as you'd like them. ''If you plan on a large logo in the top area, set the sitename to be empty.''<br />
# Check the admin email to be sure it's set to something reasonable.<br />
# Don't change the site URL. This only changes when you move the site to a different location in the Unix file system.<br />
# For now, don't set the logo. We'll talk about [[uploading a logo]] picture a little later.<br />
# Press the setup button. It will save your changes and bring you back to the admin tools panel.<br />
# Next select a template. Choose from the available templates and press the "Change Template" button at the top or bottom of the page. After changing the template you will still be on the change template page. At this point I usually want to see how the site is looking, so I<br />
# Select the "View Home Page" option. This will take you to your home page.<br />
<br />
Note, VLW comes with several example pages preloaded to show you some things you can do with the CMS. When you are logged into the admin panel VLW will display two buttons at the top of the content of all pages. These are the Edit Page button and the Admin Tools button.<br />
<br />
Edit page opens the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor for that page.<br />
<br />
Admin tools returns you to the admin tools panel. When you logout these buttons will disappear. When you are logged in an additional button appears in the side navigation menu labelled "Logout".<br />
<br />
At this point we recommend viewing the sample pages, trying out the editor, or reading about VLW. If you have questions or problems you can send email to help@vlwcms.org.

There are many generous people out on the internet who like to show off their work and allow other people to build on things they've produced. It is important to carefully read the terms of use that are provided with any person's work. Many people are glad to have you use their source material provide it isn't for commercial work. Some really want attribution on your website if you use their source material. No-one wants you to take their work and say it's yours, or resell it as is for profit, but there are many generous folks who will let you use their work even in commerical ventures. If you have any question about how you're using tools from the internet, contact the owner and ask them how they feel about.

There are many generous people out on the internet who like to show off their work and allow other people to build on things they've produced. It is important to carefully read the terms of use that are provided with any person's work. Many people are glad to have you use their source material provide it isn't for commercial work. Some really want attribution on your website if you use their source material. No-one wants you to take their work and say it's yours, or resell it as is for profit, but there are many generous folks who will let you use their work even in commerical ventures. If you have any question about how you're using tools from the internet, contact the owner and ask them how they feel about.

===Inspiration===<br />
One of the most interesting places on the Internet for emerging art trends is http://www.deviantart.com/, an online community of artists.</div>Jamiihttp://www.vlwcms.org/wiki//index.php?title=Fckeditor&diff=231Fckeditor2012-01-21T02:23:25Z<p>Jamii: </p>
<hr />
<div>FCKeditor is a lightweight HTML text editor intended for embedding in a wide variety of projects. <br />
It takes it's name from it's author, Frederico Caldeira Knabben (FredCK.com). You can find information<br />
on using the editor at http://www.fckeditor.net/.<br />
<br />
'''As of version 1.95, VLW now uses CKeditor, a newer and more supported version of the original.'''<br />
'''For more information see http://ckeditor.net.'''<br />
<br />
===Is it well maintained?===<br />
In a word, YES. FCKeditor is used by companies as large as Adobe, to tiny content management systems like vlwcms. There is a lot of interest in future development and security of this tool, which is one of the reasons we chose it as the editor for vlwcms.<br />
<br />
===Is it expandable?===<br />
Yes. There is a built-in system for adding plugins to FCKeditor and vlw adds internal links via this mechanism. If you're interested check out the developer's documentation on www.fckeditor.net.<br />
<br />
===Help===<br />
If you hover over any of the icons on the toolbar of the editor a tooltip will appear with text information<br />
about what the icon does.<br />
<br />
At the bottom of the FCKeditor window in VLW, you'll find a link to online documentation that is very useful when you've run into problems using the editor.<br />
<br />
===Any Gotchas with FCKeditor?===<br />
FCKeditor was developed with a Windows perspective, so it expects you to have a two button mouse. If you're working on a Mac you'll need to be aware that the right button, often used for ''properties'' in the Windows world is necessary for modifying objects. To access this functionality use Control click. This is particularly useful when changing properties of a table.<br />
<br />
===What about the name?===<br />
Yeah, well the latest poll on the fckeditor site shows 43% of folks think it should get a name change. The newer versions in beta test will be named ckeditor. BTW, proper pronounciation of the name is Eff Cee Kay Editor. VLW is now using CKeditor as of 1.95.</div>Jamiihttp://www.vlwcms.org/wiki//index.php?title=Editing_Pages&diff=230Editing Pages2012-01-21T02:22:31Z<p>Jamii: /* Types of Pages */</p>
<hr />
<div>The Edit Pages tool does several things. It is an interface to editing content, mail forms, and URL links as well as setting up the navigation bars (both side and top).<br />
<br />
===Types of Pages===<br />
VLW supports three kinds of pages, Content pages (also called HTML pages), Mail Form pages (also called contact form pages), and Links (also called URL pages). Content pages are edited using the [[Fckeditor|CKeditor]].<br />
Mail Form pages are built with the mail form builder. Links are edited in place in the Edit Pages tool since all a link consists of is a name and a URL.<br />
<br />
===Setting the Navigation Bars===<br />
Below you'll see an example of the Edit Pages tool. To the right of each page you'll see check boxes labelled Top and Side. If this page has Top selected a link to that page will appear in the top navigation bar. If a page had the Side box checked it will appear in the side navigation bar. Pages may appear in either, both or neither of the navigation bars. You can change the order of the pages appearance in the navigation areas by<br />
setting the order number. To move a page up in the list, change it's number to the number of the one<br />
you wish to be above. For example, in the pages below, if you wished the Directory page to be between the Welcome page and the Getting Started page, change it's order number to 1. If you wish it to be at the top of the list, change it's number to 1.<br />
<br />
[[Image: Edit-pages.png]]<br />
<br />
===Adding a Page===<br />
To add a page, enter a page name in the form at the bottom of the Edit Pages tools. Select a page type, either Link, Contact form, or HTML. You can also indicate if the page should be in the Top or Side navigation bars. The URL field will only appear if you select a type of Link. This should contain the URL you wish to link to.<br />
<br />
The page will now appear in the upper section of the Edit Pages tool and you can press edit to begin entering content. If you've created a contact form the page will contain a copy of a default form. This form shows you all of the available data types for a contact form. Here is more information on [[Contact Form|editing a contact form]].<br />

<div>===Purely CSS===<br />
Part of my inspiration for vlwcms was the CSS Zen Garden (http://www.csszengarden.com). I wanted a simple mechanism to change the <br />
look and feel of the site without writing any code. The picture below shows the standard layout of the boxes that make up the<br />
VLW site. If you're familiar with CSS it's pretty easy to build a new template.<br />
<br />
[[image:Vlw-temp-layout.png]] <br />
<br />
This just shows the nesting arrangement. You can move the boxes around with CSS magic as you like. <br />
<br />
'''NOTE: There is a slight change in the CSS layout starting with V1.85. The Footer has been dragged out'''<br />
'''to facilitate a sticky footer in most layouts. See [[New Layout]]'''<br />
<br />
A VLW template is a subdirectory of the templates directory. The name of the subdirectory is the name of the theme. You need at least 2 files in this subdirectory to make a theme, style.css, and tn.png. style.css contains all the CSS information you need to define colors, fonts, placements, and backgrounds. tn.png is a PNG image with width of 250px showing a preview of the theme. You can also have an index.html to prevent direct access to the theme, and there is an optional configuration file named config. <br />
<br />
====Config File====<br />
The config file consists of a few options that vlw uses to alter the behavior of the basic layout. Current options are:<br />
<br />
'''top''' (possible values are left/right), this allows for left or right placement of the logo and left or right starting place for the list items in the neck.<br />
<br />
'''neck''' (possible values are top/bottom). This determines if the neck box is at the top or bottom of the head box, allowing the neck navigation bar to appear at the top of the page. See the '''salsa''' template for an example of how this looks.<br />
<br />
'''bodycolor''' (any valid RGB or colorname) By default VLW makes the body background white. This is a problem with dark themes and short articles.<br />
<br />
Each item is on a separate line, value is separated by a tab. See [[building a new template]] for more information.</div>Jamiihttp://www.vlwcms.org/wiki//index.php?title=New_Layout&diff=228New Layout2012-01-21T02:18:25Z<p>Jamii: </p>

<div>FCKeditor is a lightweight HTML text editor intended for embedding in a wide variety of projects. <br />
It takes it's name from it's author, Frederico Caldeira Knabben (FredCK.com). You can find information<br />

<br />
As of version 1.95, VLW now uses CKeditor, a newer and more supported version of the original.<br />
For more information see http://ckeditor.net.<br />
<br />
===Is it well maintained?===<br />
In a word, YES. FCKeditor is used by companies as large as Adobe, to tiny content management systems like vlwcms. There is a lot of interest in future development and security of this tool, which is one of the reasons we chose it as the editor for vlwcms.<br />
<br />
===Is it expandable?===<br />

<hr />
<div>==Does the World really need another CMS?==<br />
VLW was created for a very specific function. To be an easy to use starter website tool. There are lots of full featured content management systems out there for doing every thing from blogging to social networking, but they are complex and require a steep learning curve and often expose underlying HTML or CSS issues making the learning curve even steeper. VLW was designed for small websites needing a few article pages, wanting a consistent look and feel from page to page and/or some simple pages to collect data from a customer and mail it to the website owner.<br />
<br />
===Stone Soup===<br />
One of the wonderful things about the Open Source movement is the rich array of toolkits, code snippets, and projects that are available for integrating into new tools. VLW is very much a work of stone soup, built around the popular WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web page editor, [[Fckeditor|FCKeditor]], recently upgraded to use the newer more modern CKeditor. It also uses SWCP's [https://members.swcp.com/wiki/index.php?title=Mail-form-results mail-form-results] script to deliver form data to you via email. The image management is enhanced by the use of the excellent rollover library [http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ Overlib] and of course the [http://www.libgd.org/Main_Page GD library]. This CMS is built in [http://www.php.net PHP].<br />
<br />
===Layout===<br />
The layout for a VLW site is very basic and completely built in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). <br />
# '''Top area''' contains a '''site name''', and place for a '''logo'''. Neither are mandatory.<br />
# The '''neck''' is a '''horizontal navigation bar'''. You can add items to it or not as you'd like. <br />
# The '''main body''' consists of <br />
## a '''side navigation bar''' (either on the left or right depending on the template chosen), <br />
## and a '''main contents''' area. The side navigation area will be reserved, but you don't have to put any links in it if you don't want to. <br />
# At the bottom of the page you'll find the '''footer area''', usually used for ''contact info, copyright notices, or site tag lines''.<br />
<br />
The easiest way to move around your website is to define pages and place them in the top or side navigation bars. When you define a page you simply check top, side, or both to place them in the navigation areas. If you don't link to a page from either navigation bar you'll need to link to it from within another article, so it can be found in normal flow of reading your website. When you specify this link you'll use the vlw internal link button instead of the usual external link button.<br />
<br />
You can find detailed information on the box layout model in the [[Templates|Building Templates]] section.<br />
<br />
===Current Version===<br />
Current version of VLW is V1.6. If you'd like your installation of VLW to be upgraded, just send email to<br />
noc@swcp.com and let us know what the URL of your VLW installation is. Note: if you have non-VLW files or<br />
directories in your VLW installation, please move those aside first, or let us know we need to do that for<br />
you as part of the upgrade process. Templates, images, and VLW pages will be preserved by the upgrade process.<br />
<br />
===What VLW is not===<br />
VLW isn't a community site. There is no facility for logins to the site other than the administrator. <br />
<br />
VLW doesn't have plugins or modules. Since VLW isn't a community site you can easily add on a photo gallery or wiki as a directory to the side of it and link to it, but the two products are only related by linking.<br />
<br />
An example of a VLW website can be found at http://www.vlwcms.org.</div>Jamiihttp://www.vlwcms.org/wiki//index.php?title=Website_graphics_resources&diff=219Website graphics resources2011-12-15T19:43:06Z<p>Jamii: /* Stock Photography */</p>

<div>==Patterns, photos, gradients, brushes, and more==<br />
There are many generous people out on the internet who like to show off their work and allow other people to build on things they've produced. It is important to carefully read the terms of use that are provided with any person's work. Many people are glad to have you use their source material provide it isn't for commercial work. Some really want attribution on your website if you use their source material. No-one wants you to take their work and say it's yours, or resell it as is for profit, but there are many generous folks who will let you use their work even in commerical ventures. If you have any question about how you're using tools from the internet, contact the owner and ask them how they feel about.

When you specify this link you'll use the vlw internal link button instead of the usual external link button.<br />

===Current Version===<br />
Current version of VLW is V1.6. If you'd like your installation of VLW to be upgraded, just send email to<br />
noc@swcp.com and let us know what the URL of your VLW installation is. Note: if you have non-VLW files or<br />
directories in your VLW installation, please move those aside first, or let us know we need to do that for<br />
you as part of the upgrade process. Templates, images, and VLW pages will be preserved by the upgrade process.<br />
<br />
===What VLW is not===<br />
VLW isn't a community site. There is no facility for logins to the site other than the administrator. <br />
<br />
VLW doesn't have plugins or modules. Since VLW isn't a community site you can easily add on a photo gallery or wiki as a directory to the side of it and link to it, but the two products are only related by linking.<br />

<div>==Does the World really need another CMS?==<br />
VLW was created for a very specific function. To be an easy to use starter website tool. There are lots of full featured content management systems out there for doing every thing from blogging to social networking, but they are complex and require a steep learning curve and often expose underlying HTML or CSS issues making the learning curve even steeper. VLW was designed for small websites needing a few article pages, wanting a consistent look and feel from page to page and/or some simple pages to collect data from a customer and mail it to the website owner.<br />
<br />
===Stone Soup===<br />
One of the wonderful things about the Open Source movement is the rich array of toolkits, code snippets, and projects that are available for integrating into new tools. VLW is very much a work of stone soup, built around the popular WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web page editor, [[Fckeditor|FCKeditor]]. It also uses SWCP's [https://members.swcp.com/wiki/index.php?title=Mail-form-results mail-form-results] script to deliver form data to you via email. The image management is enhanced by the use of the excellent rollover library [http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ Overlib] and of course the [http://www.libgd.org/Main_Page GD library]. This CMS is built in [http://www.php.net PHP].<br />
<br />
===Layout===<br />
The layout for a VLW site is very basic and completely built in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). <br />
# '''Top area''' contains a '''site name''', and place for a '''logo'''. Neither are mandatory.<br />
# The '''neck''' is a '''horizontal navigation bar'''. You can add items to it or not as you'd like. <br />
# The '''main body''' consists of <br />
## a '''side navigation bar''' (either on the left or right depending on the template chosen), <br />
## and a '''main contents''' area. The side navigation area will be reserved, but you don't have to put any links in it if you don't want to. <br />
# At the bottom of the page you'll find the '''footer area''', usually used for ''contact info, copyright notices, or site tag lines''.<br />
<br />
The easiest way to move around your website is to define pages and place them in the top or side navigation bars. When you define a page you simply check top, side, or both to place them in the navigation areas. If you don't link to a page from either navigation bar you'll need to link to it from within another article, so it can be found in normal flow of reading your website.

<br />
VLW doesn't have plugins or modules. Since VLW isn't a community site you can easily add on a photo gallery or wiki as a sub-directory and link to it, but the two products are only related by linking.<br />
<br />
An example of a VLW website can be found at http://www.vlwcms.org.</div>Jamiihttp://www.vlwcms.org/wiki//index.php?title=Uploading_a_logo&diff=214Uploading a logo2010-01-05T23:43:10Z<p>Jamii: </p>
<hr />
<div>On the Admin Tools Panel you'll see an item named "manage Images". Pressing this will enter the image tool. This tool will allow you to upload a file from your computer, copy a file from another web server, set a picture to use as your logo, and resize an image. The page is divided into three sections, one for your currently uploaded images, one for getting a file from your computer, and one for uploading from another web server.<br />
<br />
Once a file has been uploaded or copied, it will appear in the file list this page. At this point you can select it as <br />
your logo, resize it, copy it, or delete it. <br />
<br />
VLW works with JPGs, GIFs, and PNGs. No other image types are supported. Filenames must have a recognizable extention name, i.e. ghost.GIF, tree.png, mom.jpeg are all valid filenames. These are the usual image types supported by all browsers, so this shouldn't be a limitation.<br />
<br />
===Cautions on resizing===<br />
The image library that VLW uses is fairly basic. It will do a decent job of resizing a JPG, PNG, or GIF if they don't have transparencies. If you need to shrink a picture with transparencies we recommend you use your own graphic programs, i.e. Photoshop, the Gimp, etc. The result will be better. You can use this tool to get the dimensions of the picture as it will fit into the template. <br />
<br />
When you resize a picture, the file will be overwritten. This is to allow you to pick up a large picture, shrink it for a logo, and not waste space on the web server with an extra copy of a large file. This does mean that if you resize a picture too small, you'll want to re-upload the picture rather than resizing a small image to blow it up. Once the image has been made small, information has been lost and blowing that small image up will result in jaggies. You can copy the<br />
original file before resizing and if you don't like the results, copy it back in place to avoid uploading again.</div>Jamiihttp://www.vlwcms.org/wiki//index.php?title=Managing_other_assets&diff=213Managing other assets2010-01-05T23:25:27Z<p>Jamii: /* Images */</p>

<div>==Images and Documents==<br />
VLW keeps a directory of images and of documents that you can manage. Images are available for use in VLW pages, and<br />
as your logo. You can upload, copy, resize, and delete images from the "Manage Images" tools. As you move over a file<br />
