choice CMS2Day.

I would now like to implement my new portfolio with SilverStripe. I still have, of course, no experience, and I can only HTML and CSS.

So I would like to have the following pages:
- Start: In this page I want to insert their own HTML and CSS code. Is it possible, for example Page via code?
- About me: No problem, I create a normal page.
- References: Yes, as I do that now like the most? I can not stand designe happy and wants to show on the page, of course, my references. How do I do that best? I need a thumbnail of the design, a description, a link to the appropriate web page and a way to preview the Lytebox. The best also the possibility of multiple images. Is this feasible? And when how?
- Blog: Can I move the display from the blog, so current topics, etc., in my SiteBar how and when?
- Forum: I have previously read a topic about this. Is it now that the forum is in German?
- Contact: This I just create a form, right?

Then a few more questions:
Pay attention to what I have Coden when the template? Can I load a normal page, a module, eg via
Load_module (blog) or something like that? Can I activate a separate template for individual pages? What else do I need to know absolutely?

Hehe, these are questions many times, times I hope that you can dissect the topic here:)

Sorry for my bad English, I'm German to well explain everything

Hi Blyawon!

It's posible to insert independent HTML and CSS code in a particular Page. You need to do this:

1) You need to create another php file in the folder mysite/code. This file must be named with the same name of the Class (that extends Page or SiteTree if the look of the page is completely diferent). For example

File MyPage.php

class MyPage extends Page{
...
}

class MyPage_controller extends Page_controller{
...
}
2) You need to create the file MyPage.ss in the themes/myTheme/templates/Layout Folder. Here you can put your HTML or CSS code.

Try this and then we can see next question,

Good luck!
