Bamboo Build

Bamboo CMS Principle

A webpage can be divided into 3 main columns: Left, Middle, Right.

Middle column can be divided into 3 rows: Middle Top, Middle Main, Middle Bottom

Middle Main can be divided into 3 columns: Main Left, Main Middle, Main Right.

by setting the width, height of each region, most layout demand can be pursued.

There are 3 basic and important idea you should know to get start with: Template, Page, Plugin

Bamboo CMS: Template

if several pages have some several identical content on their pages. you can build a template

holding these identical content. and build those pages on top of it.

the benefit of template is saving you lots of time from adding same content to pages.

For example: most pages of this site has the same head image and menu bar.

so i created a new template, and added the head image and menu bar content onto it, specifically Middle Top area.

for rest pages of this site, i just add individual content of each page to Main Middle area..

Bamboo CMS: Pages

a page is a webpage will be shown to end-user. a page should be built upon a template.

Plugin is a part content of a webpage. like the header and the menubar, they are 2 plugins: {Content.Html Editor} and {Menus.Horizontal Menu}.

every page is built up by adding plugins to it. plugins on template on which the page resides will also inherits to the page.

this is a plugin build by {Menus.Horizontal Menu}, it reads out the menu group of 'Plugins' at the backend menu system.
