Managing website content using TourCMS templates

TourCMS includes a powerful content extraction mechanism powered by tags. Initially you create and edit page templates within TourCMS. These pages are rebuilt by TourCMS and the tags are replaced with data (such as dates, prices & availability) from the system. Web pages that have been generated are then FTPed to your own web server.

You DO NOT have to use TourCMS as your website CMS unless you wish to. If you just want to add an online booking engine to your existing website. Inside TourCMS go to a specific tour, ensure that the tour is bookable online (book by web & staff) and the next time you go into that tour setup you will see a URL that you can directly add to an existing website

If you are integrating in this way there is no need to enter your web server FTP details into TourCMS

Please read the introduction to tags, then refer to the following documentation:

Element tags (for individual data items)

Container tags (for creating lists of data)
