Power CMS, Css and developer code

This is my first time using power cms and I am confused on a few things.

I have already created my site and I just installed power cms. My site has custom styled headings, paragraphs and paragraph layouts. In order to maintain the heading, paragraghs,
styles as well as heading colours do I need to create content regions in powercms for each HTML element mentioned and paste the developers code in each tag e.g

  <h1>developer code1 here<h1>
<h2>developer code2 here<h2>
<p>developer code3 here<p>  

or is there a way for me to use the HTML editor or any other method to recreate the content area page layout.

Your help is very much appreciated

You could use individual entries, or a single entry with the code from the page entered into the cms editor.

The styling may not show in the editor, but you can use h1, h2, etc. tags and their styling will show live even if not while editing in the CMS. You can also set the styles to show in the editor itself if your styles are consistant you can specify the bodyCSS in the html editor custom .js file to specify the css to use when displaying in the editor body.

Thanks Ray

I just have 2 more quick questions

1. I used framework builder and includes to create plugins for some areas of my website pages. If I wanted to edit the text on these plugins could I use power cms on these plugin pages?

2. When I go to create a new page (logged in as super admin) it only gives me 2 editable regions. I looked at webassist demo site and you seem have been able to create more than 2 regions. So my question is how do I add more than 2 editable regions when creating new content in powercms?

1) Yes, that shouldn't cause a problem.

2) You would have to update the template that page is based on to create the correct number of regions. Creating new pages in powerCMS always depends on creating them from a page template which defines the number of editable regions. The child pages will reflect the editable regions defined in the template.

ok I think I see my confusion. I did not realise that powercms picks up on my main template. I have not actually defined/applied a template in powercms so it seems to have automatically picked up on my main dreamweaver templates editable regions which are my mainContent and sidebar.

I will look into this and let you know if I have any other problems

Many thanks

Which js file is this setting in?

It should be in the .js file associated with the editor in the /custom/ subfolder. You should see it referred to in the code that generates the editor.
