Getting started
Flash CMS Templates
Flash СMS Pack (template + control panel) is an ideal solution for those, who want to manage the Flash site content easily, without purchasing additional software. All you need is Flash CMS with a ready-made template and hosting that corresponds to our requirements.
Package:
- Flash CMS Template
- Flash Control Panel
- Sources included for developers (PSD, FLA, fonts)*
* The source files (.PSD and .FLA) are intended for Flash developers. These files are not required to launch and manage Flash CMS site, and for working with them the developers will need additional software.
Purchasing Flash CMS Templates
When purchasing Flash CMS template, you have the opportunity to check its functionality by using Live Demo. Though Flash Control Panel works in the Demonstration Mode, you can see what editing features it provides; for example, what design elements you can edit, what maximum number of menu buttons you may add, what modules and widgets are included in the given template; you may also check fonts and media gallery of this template etc...
After Flash CMS template has been purchased, you will get an e-mail with a 'download' link that will stay active during 48 hours. After that you will get one more e-mail with your Flash CMS account details required for product activation.
Launching a website
Please unzip the downloaded zip file to your hard drive and find the folder called "site_flash". This is what you should upload to your FTP server.
Note: If you haven't chosen a hosting provider and domain name yet, you may take advantage of a free bonus hosting from JustHost.com that you will receive with a template purchase. Please note that JustHost hosting offers all the tools necessary to run Flash CMS and Zend Optimizer module smoothly and productively.
When using FTP software, please make sure that you have set an AUTO mode for the file transfer of
your FTP client. Don't change the file names (i.e. don't convert the file names to lowercase).
You can upload the Flash CMS template files to a remote server in a usual way. There is no need to perform any additional adjustments after you have uploaded your template. However, please make sure that your server configuration fully meets the software requirements available on
the preview page of the Flash CMS template. After uploading your files you can open your template
on the server.
Then go to your website and see the results. In order to access the admin panel please, add "/admin"
to your site’s URL (example): http://mysitename.com/admin. To get more detailed instructions on Flash CMS Control Panel startup please read the section: Control Panel Startup and Setup.
