Customer Web Template Files

Post by stefanbagnato »

May or may not be simple. However, I'd like to create my own template file (somethingT.htm). As a test, I took an existing file (todayT.htm) and created a copy with a different name. As somewhat expected, it was not processed and turned into today.htm. I assume that the ability to create custom template exists, or even just to rename the default templates. What do I need to do in this situation?

Hi,

Yes you can create, or copy and rename an existing T file, and have it processed and uploaded.

Place the new template file in your \web folder
Add it as a file to process and update in Extra web files settings.

Only the standard template files, i.e. todayT.htm, indexT.htm, etc. are automatically processed and uploaded if the Include standard files is ticked in Internet settings. Any others need to be added to the Extra web files settings.

Enjoy,
Paul

Ah okay that is what I was missing. I knew I would need to add it to Extra Web Files to move it from Cumulus over into my inetpub folder. But I was missing the 'Process' tick as well. Thanks, Paul!!
