Hi Ali,

If you're using the Classic template set (which is usually installed by default with Campsite), you can change values in the CSS files as well.

The CSS files govern most aspects of appearance - choice of fonts, size of fonts, logo, etc.

Campsite tries as much as possible to keep all the appearance settings in the CSS, and the logic and functions in the templates.

If you're using the Classic template set, the CSS files can be found in the admin interface under Configure -> Templates and the path is classic/css/cleanblue.

Hope this helps,

douglas

you can try sample template packages from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/campsite/files/campsite/3.4. 2/
Rename package to backup.tar.gz, put it into backup folder and restore from Backup/Restore manager (Operations - Backup/Restore)

omg doug,
this is really worst kind of marketing....

Micz,
I just believe bad mouth competition is a bad habit. Moreover,
Campsite is great CMS and does not need that.

Yes, it is possible to adapt Wordpress themes for Campiste. There are
also great free and commercial html/css templates around. That speeds
up process of integration.

It is very good news that Sourcefabric working on a new templates.
Maybe you could consider to make one as kind of 'template design
frame'. That would be very useful for web designers so they wouldn't
necessarily need to always start from the zero. In general what is
lacking is a kind of templates 'market'. Maybe you can figure it out
how to stimulate that so templates are not created only by the
Sourcefabric staff. Of course, that means much more templates will be
available (free and commercial) and all of us will benefit from that.

For those who need a help I would like to offer various services and
support on fair rate... including creation of unique site design and
templates, customization and/or integrations of any template
(including Wordpress themes), site redesign, hosting on our powerful
servers with pre-installed Campsite, support for already running
publications, etc...

In a past 8 years MediaDots company have designed and developed over
50 web publications on Campsite in 10 countries. If somebody need any
further info, or interested in our services, or just need help or an
advice write on my email and somebody from MediaDots will respond in a
short time.

All the best,
