Hello everyone, I am very new to RedDot, and I'm trying to understand the correct structure of how to setup a project. I'm trying to grasp the concept of Content Classes, containers, templates, etc.
My basic knowledge is this: Every page that will have the same content, will all use the same Content Class. Inside of that Content Class you have placeholders for content (text, anchors) and structural elements that define the layout of the page (containers, lists). You can have several templates that will display that information on the page differently if you need to, for RSS XML files or something like that. My question is this, how am I supposed to set up the templates? Say that I have a home page that is drastically different than the rest of my pages. I create the template for it. This template would have all of my HTML and CSS layout elements in (divs, etc) correct? Inside of this template I would put place holders for the content? Where do containers come in? My understanding is that containers just hold content, but how do I put a placeholder (say, text) inside a container? I also don't understand the concept of Target Containers. If I wanted to divide my page up into sections, such as header, leftNav, content, rightNav, and footer, would I make these containers? I am definitely confusing myself, and I'm sure I am making it harder than it really is. Can anyone clarify the extreme basics for me? I've read the "Content Class" documentation, but for some reason it didn't really help me. It explained that "you need to break it up into blocks", but then didn't go on to explain how to do so inside of RedDot. Any help is appreciated!
