UNIT 9 TEMPLATE NOTES

 

Once the Dreamweaver template has been created rather than updating all Child pages to accept this template it will be necessary to do the following:


Overview:
Using the template 'main_template' create new pages for the links/child pages.
Eg: Air.htm, Cruises.htm, Resorts.htm, Galleries.htm etc.
      Including the' index.htm' pages from other subfolders within the Caribe Travel (Unit 9)       Site..

How to Achieve:
 1. Once the template file has been completed in its entirety, with all editable and
      non-editable regions in place and saved as main_layout.dwt
     Go to File > New (select the Template Page) > select your template file (main_layout) and      click 'Create'  button.
     This now creates a new page based on your original page layout.
     'Title' the page and place some content in the 'editable' region
     (EG: "This is the 'Cruises' page").
     Then save the pages named respectively back to their original folder locations,  
     thereby overwriting the original pages which  previously had no template applied.
     Air.htm, Cruises.htm, Resorts.htm etc..
     The idea being that all pages have the template applied and the editable and
     non-editable regions are in place.

     Should you at any time need to edit one of the non-editable regions of a child page,
     the page may be detached from Template by doing the following:
     Go to Main top Dreamweaver Menu > Modify > Templates >
     Choose 'Detach from Template'.
     The page is now independant and may be fully edited and saved.
