    Hello,

    I would like to create a user group for our research members at http://www.faithology.com to be able to create new templates and pages throughout the website.  I want our users to have full control to create new pages and edit them around the website. 

    When publishing a new entry, how do you add the theme, or the entire site code to the new page automatically?  Currently I am manually adding the code and the expression engine tags for where the content will go, but I would like this to be automated. 

    I only see the option to allow users to add/publish content to an existing coded page(which is where I keep adding the code manually). 

    Any help/direction would be awesome!

    Thanks so much!

    Basically I want to allow our team members with no html or coding experience the ability to create new pages without them having to add any html.

    I want our websites basic html to automatically be duplicated into a new page, and allow the user to only edit or add content to certain sections. 

    Can this be done with themes?  Any way to accomplish this?

    Wondering if you can use the Pages module where an editor can select a template?  Could be a starting point. 

    Mike Boyink has a some good free tutorials on Pages here.
