Hello,
I had sent an email to support on friday w/ no reply...perhaps its too basic, but I need a news site like http://www.vox.gi on a mentioned thread...I use Dreamweaver 8, I know CSS, But I can't figure out how to add to menu buttons or even come close, except for logo....I 've tried to downloadload to Dreamweaver hoping to modify like any other website, ..i changed all .tlp to 777 & 666...i did upload the site though....thanks for any help, especially after buying the Developers pack...Thankyou.

Thankyou,
Included is ticket number, and copy of reply to be fair,..whenever I try to bring up in D.Weaver, I only get the tags....I guess I wes expecting to modify like any other HTML site, visually.. thanks for your patience, this business project is important to me.

Ticket Ref: GNX-57473-159
Ticket Subject: modifying templates

Dear ..,

You can change logo in two ways, by overwriting logo.gif which is located in your img folder, or by editing header.tpl.
As for the menu buttons, they can be modified from style.css located in your templates folder.
Dreamweaver works like any other HTML editor, I?m not quite sure that I understand your question, regarding this matter, could you be more specific.

All templates in Vivvo have .tpl extension but they are normal HTML files you can edit from your favorite editor (like FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver or even EditPlus).
You can change the layout of your site by editing few main templates:

header.tpl
footer.tpl
index.tpl
category_Main.tpl
article_Full.tpl
framework.tpl
framework_without_right.tpl

If you want to modify the look of your site (font types, colors, background images...) you can do that by editing templates/style.css

You can read more on this on Vivvo documentation:

Hello,

Thanks, but I'm aware of documentation...What I'm saying is after uploading,then changing chmod, I downloaded to Dreamweaver 8, all I have in editor view is a blank screen, in preview I have {SCRIPTS} on blank page(in header.tpl)... in code, I have

<head>
<title>CMS Administration</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={CHARSET}" />
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/functions.js"></script>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/ClickShowHideMenu.js"></script></head>
{SCRIPTS}
<body>
</body></html>[/FONT][/SIZE]

What am I doing wrong, Thankyou

As I can see from this code you posted, you are trying to modify templates for administration area, not for the front end template.
All templates for front end are located in your root/templates folder.
