The following placeholders are used in the HTML template:
<title><!-- title --></title>
<!-- head -->
<!-- layout_style -->
<div id="containerheader"><!-- c_header --></div>
<div id="containerfooter"><!-- c_footer --></div>
<div id="containermiscX"><!-- c_miscX --></div> where X represents a number from 1 to 99.
An example HTML template is shown below with the placeholders highlighted.
The <title><!-- title --></title> placeholder is replaced with the title of the page.
The <!-- head --> placeholder is replaced with system specific code and must be present.
The <!-- layout_style --> placeholder is replaced with the link to your external stylesheet. Note: this should appear after the <!-- head --> placeholder.
The placeholders shown above must appear within the head section of the HTML template.
The following placeholders are used to allow the addition of modules into the template once it has been added to the CMS:
<div id="containerheader"><!-- c_header --></div>
<div id="containerfooter"><!-- c_footer --></div>
<div id="containermiscX"><!-- c_miscX --></div>
The containerheader and containerfooter placeholders are functionally the same as the containermiscX placeholders but are useful to organise your template if you use a header or footer.
The order in which these placeholders appear does not matter so you can have
<div id="containermisc2"><!-- c_misc2 --></div>
followed by
<div id="containermisc1"><!-- c_misc1 --></div>
The placeholders shown above should appear within the body section of the HTML template.
Note: If a template has been created and is in use by pages within the CMS then be aware that removing placeholders from the template and re-uploading it will result in the modules contained in the missing placeholder being removed. Placeholders can be moved around the template and new ones added without affecting modules. Likewise if a new template is used on a page that doesn’t have the same placeholders as the existing template then modules will be removed.
