Template Replacement
Strings
The system provides some of the
component parts for your design. More specifically the dynamic
parts of the page. With most DHTML systems most of the template
is static. But our system is much more dynamic allowing the end
user more control of the page. The dynamic components of the page
are designated by a unique string in the HTML that is replaced by
the actual values defined by the sit owner. The components and
replacement strings are as follows.
Replacement Strings:
!!TITLE!! -
Title and MetaTags are generated from a database and inserted
into the page. This allows unique page titles and metatags on
every page while using a single design.
!!BGIMAGE!! -
Background image
!!BGCOLOR!! -
Background Color
!!TEXTCOLOR!!
- Main Text Color
!!LINKCOLOR!!
- Regular Link Color
!!VLINKCOLOR!!
- Visited Link Color
!!ALINKCOLOR!!
- Active Link Color
!!BUSINESSLOGO!!
- Each template uses a titlespace area that can be customized by
the end user. This area is designated to allow the site owner
some flexibility in the graphics. Can be used for any changeable
component of a full graphic area in the page.
!!MAINTABLECOLOR!!
- The main table color is normally associated with the main body
of the page. With screen resolutions reaching from New York to
California it is common to create a single table to bind the
design. If you want to allow the end user the ability to change
that color, use maintablecolor. However, the value can be used in
almost ny table location, as long as the end user is aware that
the configuration will change other areas of your template.
!!MAINMENU!!
- A basic verticle stack of buttons. The only seperator is a <br>
between each image or text link. Text links are the default if no
images are present in the button folder. This format can be used
on the left or right side of the page.
!!MAINMENU2!!
- A verticle stack of buttons where each button is its own
paragraph.
!!MAINMENU3!!
- A horizontal string of images seperated by spaces. This format
is normally used on the top or bottom of a page.
!!MAINCONTENT!! - The most important string and
the only required string. This will be where the main page body
and programing will be inserted. Without this string, the system
has noplace to add the page text.
