Imagine is a Foundation 6 portfolio and publishing project for Total CMS 3. Its image-first homepage leads into category-filtered project lists and detailed posts with text and galleries.
Prepare a working copy
Keep the downloaded project unchanged as a backup.
Duplicate it and work from the copy.
Resolve any missing-stack warnings.
If the original download is unavailable, purchased products can be downloaded again through Paddle.
Identify the content areas
The supplied project includes a masonry-style portfolio homepage, category navigation, project detail pages, galleries, blog or story content, a creator profile, service or project pages, social links, and contact navigation.
Connect Total CMS 3
Review every Total CMS 3 list and detail view and connect it to the intended site collections. The public example uses project links with an object ID and category-filtered lists, so the list, filter, and detail page must all refer to the same content source.
Create a private test
Publish the unmodified project to a private location.
Open several homepage images and confirm their detail pages.
Choose each category from the menu.
Check the post title, image, date, author, text, and gallery.
Test the social and Contact links.
Replace sample content only after this path works. Keep a few demo records until the final data model is confirmed.
