Templates
A template contains the HTML framework, the necessary style sheets
(CSS), if present, globally valid javascript scripts, and add the
placeholders for content and navigation blocks. It is in the folder
"templates" in the base directory of a website. There must be a unique
identifier (ASCII) obtained.
The HTML framework (a pure HTML
file) must necessarily be in the subfolder "tpl", having the file name "template" and the suffix ".tpl".
It should
serve an additional XML file "meta.xml.php" containing information about
wildcards, DOM IDs, name, author, copyright etc.. See plug-ins. This file must also lie in the "tpl" folder of the template.
Example:
TemplateName / tpl / template.tpl
TemplateName / tpl / meta.xml.php
All other files of templates are free placable within its folder structure.
Example of the "content.css" file:
templates / template name / css / content.css
WYSIWYG
CSS files whose file name contains "content" will be loaded in the editor when editing
content and thus ensure the implementation of the WYSIWYG
concept.
Editing a template
Currently templates should only be WYSIWYG - edited with gecko (Mozilla) based browsers , since all other browser have not or inadequately the necessary standards! Otherwise, a simple text editor should be used.
A template can be edited by administrators in the WYSIWYG-editor. Attention should be given to the corresponding placeholders.
CSS files can be edited using the corresponding CSS editor. The
dialogue for this appears only in template-mode and will be launched by clicking the button 
.
All CSS and Javascript files loaded into the template are listed here
and can be processed provided the corresponding browser capabilities.
