Newbie Question about Page Creation

[karltietze]

Hi all,
i decided to base my future website creations on TypoLight/Contao as it really looks very straightforward and is fantastic in CSS handling!

Compared to other CMS systems Contao is really superiour in that CSS field!

Now here my first -most likely very newbie - question:

I need to give the editor-users a way to create new pages based on a "template". That is, the pages are always composed the same in the "Main Column":

- a thumbnail <img> column/div (clickable)
- a div to display the big img for the clicked thumnbnail.
- a div for text.

1: My first attempt was to create a page-layout that consists of a "Custom HTML" Module for the "Main" column and create a new "Page Layout".

--> But then, the editor-user cannot change the 'src' attributes of the <img>s and the conetnt of the text div...

2: My second attempt was to create a "HTML" Article and assign that article to every new page created.

--> But this needs the editor-users to edit "raw" HTML and that is not always possible...

So my question is:

How can i realize that?

- Present the editor-user either something like a "Dreamweaver"/TinyMCE - like WYSIWYG view where he can change the images and text directly by typing it into it?

But i only see "EditArea" as editor....

- Or a "Form" that the user has to fillout & then the HTML is generated?
(How to create that form?)

Thank you in advance for your appracited help.

Hello.

This question should probably be posted in the "Newbie forum" and not in tutorials.

Article -> Content Element "Text".

BTW, the German Contao Community may be the better contact point for you.

Thank you all.
a plain Text-Article would mean to copy&paste the raw HTML, right?
I think i have to dive deeper into that & will use the german forum.
