- Q: Tips for making WGM templates
A: Following tips may be helpful for making WGM templates:
- Naming rule of the template file
WGM template is a group of HTML files whose filename extension
should be ".htm" only, even if your template file
includes asp, jsp or php script. A valid WGM template includes
at least 3 HTML files, they are homepage template file,
channel page template file and detail page template file.
If you want to share your template with others, please follow
the naming rule below:
| Default
homepage template file |
index.htm |
| Default
detail page template file |
detail.htm |
| Default
channel page template file |
channelpage1.htm |
| 2nd
channel page template file |
channelpage2.htm |
| 3rd
channel page template file |
channelpage3.htm |
If there are still other template files in this template,
you can name them at will, give a meaningful name to template
files will help to manage the files.
- Using special tags in the template file
If you have used special channel tags in your template file,
your WGM template will not be shared with others. Unless
you intent to make a WGM template only for youself, DO NOT
use special channel tags in your template file.
- Select a better visual HTML editor for making template
files
Dreamweaver is a very powerful visual HTML editor, Frontpage
is a good one too. Of course, you can choose the best tool
you like.
- Saving template files
In most situations, template files include HTML files, css
files and icon files. WGM templates require that all
icon files and css files be saved in the "images"
folder which locates in the same sub-folder as other ".htm"
template files. You have to use the relative-path to
cite icon files and css files in your template files, otherwise
errors will occur during template file parsing. Usually,
a set of WGM templates include a group of HTML files and
an "images" folder. All icon files and css files
that are used by the template files are saved in the "images"
folder.
- Q: Copyright of WGM templates
A: Each WGM template belongs to its author. Only the
author can authorize the right of using WGM templates.
