Welcome to the default, english home page for flatCMS. This page is located in "pages > english > home.php"

As you might guess, this is the home page loaded for english viewers and you should change it to create the english home page for your site.

Working with flatCMS

You can set up your flatCMS site by logging in to the admin page and adding directories and/or pages to your site. Again, don't forget to change the default Admin User Name and Password settings!

Directories created within a language directory, will appear as organizational divisions or "categories" in the site's main menu to the left. Note that these division or category labels are not clickable.

Pages that you create or add inside one of these category folders will appear as clickable links under their category (directory) label.

Both page/file and directory names may start with a number followed by an underscore to affect their order in the menu. File and directory names like "10_pagename.php" will have the number and underscore removed from them when displayed in the main menu, resulting in "pagename" be shown in the menu.

Menu Limitations: Categories will only be displayed one level deep. Thus, you can't nest directories you want displayed. Pages/files will only appear in the menu if they are in a (single level deep) category directory. In other words, links will not appear for files in any directory above or below a category directory. This includes the surface level of a language directory.

Well, that's the basics. Enjoy!

As noted before, flatCMS has been developed from fpwe. Not all functions of fpwe have been implemented yet, but it is a lot easier to integrate modules than it was with fpwe.
