Comment: How to start with YACS

Hello sweety,
Welcome to the easy (and friendly) using YACS world!
You have to know that using YACS is more easy than to install it ! It is different at the beginning, but when you get its simple logic most of the work is already achieved.
-  How to get rid from all that staff ?
You have first to choose all your options and parameters into the control panel. (Don't hesitate to go on, there is an help on line for almost every action)
-  Then, and it constitues the answer to your second question, practise YACS and you will immediatly understand all.
You should start with this simple principle of YACS according to which a section is a container for articles (or pages). And that you can generate sections, sub-sections, and so on... as you like.
Each sub-section is in fact a section and possesses all the qualites of a section.
Then you can turn the content of such a section in almost whatever you like, forum, calendar, artcile... You can make this content to appear wherever you wish (for exemple, on the home page).

If you feel lost about a particular point, the support section here, will certainly help you.
Otherwise, don't hesitate to get in touch again with us through this forum if you need a precision.
