Hello,

Built a site using Wordpress and used the code below to create custom templates for some pages.

PHP: 
<?php /* Template Name: New Template Name*/ ?>
Now this is fine for now and if I was working on my own it wouldn't be a problem.

The only issue is my mate, who also helps with the site has no way of editing this page, and I don't trust him uploading to FTP and using dreamweaver, he is dangerous :p

Is there anyway I can add this into the CMS within Wordpress so he can edit it with Xstandard or something?
 
By default, in WP you should have an appearance tab on the left of the admin that has an editor under it.

In there you should find all the available templates in your current theme and if you set up your permissions correctly you can edit from that.

Does that solve your problem?
 
I don't mean templates in the sense of the way the website looks.

I used the
PHP: 
<?php /* Template Name: New Template Name*/ ?>
tag to create xhtml webpages.

I was looking for a way to edit the content of the page, not it's "Theme". I'm using the Thesis Framework, so don't have a "Theme" as such.

Any ideas?
 
Hmm, can you link me to the doc for that tag? I'm struggling to follow what you mean. All content should be of a type, whether you've made custom post types or not.. so editing that content is easy. The editor I mentioned lets you modify a significant portion of the other content.
 
Nope, my initial answer is the closest on a fresh install of WP. You may find a plugin for a more advanced editor... but not a friendlier one. Those edit pages are not meant to be friendly really. It's how the code would look in any text editor, which is how most people would want it.
