MyHobbySite question

There are a lot of trading pages that using MHS engine, wanted to buy the licence and have 1 question: is that simple in use ? Should I have some knowledge (html basics or css or php maybe) ? Thanks in advance

It's EXTREMELY easy to use. Everything is already built into the template for you (date, generation, location, authored by etc etc). All you have to is use the drop down boxes and type. It really is that simple.

Here you can try the demo version of it.

It's very easy to use. I am sure that you won't have any problem with MHS engine.
One thing more you must have a lot of patience for add all dvds.

Yeah, that's what I don't really have when it comes to make info pages. So therefore my simple html sourced website is still not finished.

Just one more question, how can I edit the custom template ? I see 'Manage skins -> Default -> Edit, then I get only rename template form I really dont like original template and want customize it.

By the way, are there any free templates for MHS ?

ok 1st of all, i have also just recently got myself the MHS, wish i did it when it was 1st available, its so easy to add shows to.

as for the template. the one you get when you purchase the MHS is the default template, agreed it dont look great at all and you cant realy edit that much on it to be able to use it as a design.
but for a fee ($60.00 USD One Time) you can have a custom made template.

some examples can also be seen here

just go to your account area within the MHS main page and select Product Addons from the Customer Area link.
there you will see details on price etc.

im hoping to pay for my custom skin next week so cant wait to see it.

Yes, I saw all of this, I just wanted to costumize it all by myself. You know, change background, logos, etc.. I thought I can make everything I want with the default template..

By the way, how they are doing this template for 60 USD ? I mean you're telling them which main colors on site you want, sending some pictures to make a logo from etc ? I'm thinking about ordering this right now.

[deadone]

right i get ya, as for the default template you can change all the colours yourself using the css file.
images etc as far as i know can all be changed using the tpl files with which you need to open in notepad to change. to be honest i checked all these files and next week im ordering my skin as its so much easier. if you design your own skin and change the layout you have to remember that altering it will most prob put the alignment for certain things out of place. thus the reason i didnt bother even trying to design my own.

what you do if you want the theme made is order it through your account, then you will recieve info, you basically inform about the colours etc you want, he then designs a concept and will show you it, from there changes are made to the style, colours etc etc, im sure this is done over a matter of 3 or 4 concepts and on the final concept minor changes can be made like the font style, colour etc.
my own skin for instance is going to match my current site so i can use both and merge the 2 of them.
you may if needed order more than 1 theme for your site.

hope that clears some of it up for ya.
