    Sorry, but I need some help.

    I kinda get the idea, but the structure of my cms requirement is like a table,actually different color shapes with text over them.

    How would I go about making this a cms module?

    Do I need to specify all different placeholders or can I use one big placeholder that can extend so extra rows can be added??
    also, do i leave the blocks empty for the template? How do I style the text?
    Help!

    this is the structure and design I am talking about:

    Spitoor, you don't appear to need a CMS for this.

    I have used Table 09 with a lot of huffing to set up a table template, similar to your design.

    If you need it to be a Placeholder and updated remotely, I would use Google Docs.

    thnx Acorn, but the question was actually about implementing it with the xt-cms

    still haven't found a good way to have the client fill it out themselves and now with Xara cloud being gone (free doesn't allow it and the basic is no longer) it's so hard to find a decent substitute.
    hence the try at the cms modules. I actually tried google docs, but that doesn't retain the makeup of the cells somehow. so it looks really weird.

    Sorry then xtom will have to step in.

    Regarding Xara Cloud, the Basic plan has been replaced by the Free plan: check https://www.xara.com/uk/pricing/ as SmartShapes are still usable.
    I can't check directly as I am currently on the Team plan trial. You may not be able to add in a Table from Xara Cloud but you should be able to edit an existing one (designed in XDPX).
