Hi,
Im very new to ModX (have been using it for about a week or so), used to use Joomla/PHP-Nuke but hated their lack of customisation and SEF options which ModX is excellent in.
The only problem i am having is with templates. I have tried a few and not found any im particularly keen on, so found www.modxhost.com and wanted to use that template. I noticed a /modxhost/ folder in my /templates/ directory and have been trying to use that (adding a new template from the modxhost.tpl file) but it doesnt work at all. I have tried messing with the template code to remove some of the style sheets that arent needed but its not working and im stuck!
Here is the template code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

Can anyone help? Im now completely stuck and need all the help i can get! Or if anyone knows any good similar templates that are XHTML/CSS compliant that would be brilliant?
Thanks.
