About

A plugin for GetSimple CMS that provides supporting functionality for themes developed by me. Designed generically so that it will work with all GetSimple CMS themes developed by me.

Compatible with: GetSimple CMS v3.3.16+, v3.4.0+

Features Include

• Custom fields addition to the page editor, allowing the theme to be dynamically customised on a per-page basis
• Configuration settings support, enabling elements of the theme to be configured (eg.: colours, etc.)

Known Supported Themes

• Yawen - A theme designed to be simple yet elegant, focusing more on well constructed content than the website itself.

Installation and Usage

You can install this plugin to your GetSimple CMS installation by following these simple instructions.
