    Hi Gilnei,

    You are probably referring to what you see in the sample site package.
    Teaser and Deck are random article elements the author of the sample
    publication chose to create. With Campsite, you are completely free in
    structuring articles. Article types are described, if I may say so, quite
    well in our manual:
    http://code.campware.org/manuals/campsite/3.3/index.php?id=197&lang=en-us

    Otherwise, a deck is usually the part of the text that goes under a
    headline, a teaser is a highlight from the article that "teases" the reader
    to read more. For example:

    Article Title: Open Source's Best Kept Secret
    Deck: Entering its eleventh year of development, Campsite finally marches
    the road toward becoming a household name in web development circles.
    Teaser1: Over a million lines of code
    Teaser2: More than 17 million dollars to make it from scratch

    Article text: Campsite this, that, blah, blah, lorem ipsum dolor etc.

    As I mentioned above, you can structure your articles whichever way you
    please, and you can have as many article fields as you want (the only
    mandatory fields are Article Name and Author, but even those don't have to
    be shown to your site's visitors if you wouldn't want to do so -- Campsite
    templating is extremely flexible). You are also free to name those fields
    whichever way you want, in any language you want.

    Please feel free to ask any further questions (and BTW, I didn't make up
    the figures regarding code and cost: they are estimates from ohloh.net -
    http://www.ohloh.net/p/campsite -- and ohloh.net is exaggerating only
    slightly in our case)

    All the best,

    Sava

    Hi Sava,

    thank you very much for the explanation and your time.
    I just installed Campsite and I'm very impressed with the feature and quality of the script.
    Of course there is learning curve and I'm a little lost in some points.
    Congratulations to all for the great code.

    BTW, I noticied some PHP Notice in my log. Those are minor bugs easily fixed.

    Once again, thank you very much.

    Gilnei
