Templates
Each installation has a single file that is used to 'hold' all of the content and menus. This file is a fairly standard .html file with the addition of around 5 'PHP tags'. This means that templates can be developed with standard web page editing tools and converted for use in the Contentor system with realtive ease. The most complex part, the menu script, has now been simplified with the new universal menu generator. See Creating Templates for more details.
Example Templates
The links below will change the default template for this site:
- The new blue default template for this site (no tables - all layout done in style sheet - has some problem with the calendar)
- The old blue template for this site
- The old blue one, but with the menu on the left
- An alternate green template
- The installation default template
Reset to the site's default template (as specified in the System Configuration)
Keep in mind that some templates push the content to the right, which is not a problem for regular web pages on a well-designed template, but might push the fairly wide edit screens over far enough to require horizonal scrolling.
More templates soon!! See the Contentor Sites page for more examples of templates on other sites.
Changing the template requires that you have 'cookies' enables on your browser.
