6.2 Modifying a page specific template file

The duplicated template file contains various function blocks that render the final output. The position of these

blocks combined with the style files define the presentation of the web site. By inserting HTML and PHP code

you can add functions and information to the page. In some cases you might want to remove unwanted

elements from the template, be very careful when experimenting with this at it might lead to a non working

skin.

The following HTML/PHP code was used to replace the text and sidemenu elements of the Welcome page. The

content selection is replaced by an banner image and side menus are added for some quick links and contact

information. Note that in this sample we added style information in-line, typically this information is added to

one of the style files (or a custom style file). The images used in this sample are stored in the folder of the

skin.

<img src="<? echo generateSkinLocation() ?>/banner-steps.png"/>

</li>

<img src="<? echo generateSkinLocation() ?>/banner-holiday.png"/>

</li>

</ul>

</div>

<p style="

background:#D9E1E5 url(<? echo generateSkinLocation() ?>/images/nav_bg.gif)

repeat-x scroll left top;

border-bottom:1px solid #CDCDCD;line-height:2em;
