Template Information

The user web interface template files are located in two locations.

All files common to all themes are in; templates/common_files directory

All files unique to a theme are in; templates/[theme_directory]

Theme directory files override common_files files if they exist.

For example:
If you copy support.php from common_files to your theme directory and edit it,
your site will use the support.php file in the theme directory and
ignore the support.php file in the common_files directory.

Adding new pages

Use the basicphptemplate.php in the root AWBS directory and the basictemplate.php file in the templates/[your_theme] directory to make new pages for your site.

It works like this:

You use the basicphptemplate.php file in your root AWBS directory and call the basictemplate.php that you add your content to and place in your templates/theme directory.

Example: you want a new page called webdesign.php

• Take the basicphptemplate.php file, copy/rename it to webdesign.php, edit the file to call webdesign.php template.

This line: print $template->parse("basictemplate.php");
replace basictemplate.php with webdesign.php

• Now take the basictemplate.php file in your templates/business directory, copy/rename it to webdesign.php, edit as desired and you have a new page on your site that matches all the rest.

In the template file, enter your page html content after the remark:<!--begin page content-->
