    hi Bermi,

    I have my own template design(html) for my new project. Now i have to integrate it into akelos. let me know how can i do that? My template consists of 3 main parts n each part is divided further.

    Header section: It contains 3 layers one below the other (title, meta desc. and keywords should be dynamic)
    1. Porject name with some imgs
    2. Menu
    3. 5 random imgs under menu part

    Body:
    1. Left section with some links
    2. main body which changes based on the links in the left section

    footer: with some links like privacy, compy info

    Let me know how to divide n integrate new templates????

    Hi GKSR,

    place your html in app/layouts/application.tpl
    that's your "FRAME" covering your content (output fom the actions)
    then you write a variable in your controller

    class UserController extends ApplicationController
    {
    var $layout = 'application';
    .......
    now he is using your layout :-)

    place
    <?php echo $text_helper->flash();?>
    <?php echo $content_for_layout; ?>

    where your content and your flash messages should appear

    useful functions:

    <?php echo $controller->renderPartial('layouts/sidebar') ?>
    save your partials with underscore (_sidebar.tpl)

    <?php echo $asset_tag_helper->stylesheet_link_tag('style') ?>
    <?php echo $url_helper->link_to('wahlidator', array('controller' => 'home', 'action' => 'index'))?>
