Whaiting to get some more information of some suggestions

Hi ther sander!

Its best you read up on the docs we have been busy writing. The lack of themes is a problem at the moment (but we only released the user submitted themes last week)

Read up on..
Theme development - http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=themes:developing
HTML guidelines - http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=html
CSS guidelines - http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=css

Also if you are unsure about things have a look at the other themes and that should give you an idea

Let us know if there is any part that the documentation doesn't cover or isn't clear about. We are trying to make it easy for people to jump on in.

Thank you for your answere, I started with it as soon as I red, so I am working on it the hole day and night but there is one thing I do not get, why do you people write this program in the .ss extrension and not just .php Now I got one question about the language of .ss how can I easily make a variable which I determined in anonther file, example: I set an variable in the site name place and would link that to anonther file where I define the variable and so can change the text, maybe you can tell me what is the easiest way

we use the ss extenstion as this emphasis's the templating language. To separate content from code we don't allow php code in the templates. All the programming side of things should be done in the code files (which are php files). The .ss files are used only as presentation templates.

would link that to anonther file where I define the variable and so can change the text[ if you are making a theme you can't define variables. In a normal site what you can do is create a function inside mysite/code/Page.php

[code php]
function MyFunction() {
return;
}

Then in in s s files use $MyFunction
