[twin-tech]

Just downloaded the software - does anyone have any info on how to build custom templates for this software yet?

Thanks a million!

Basically just work on the .tpl files and edit to your liking then upload them to your server currently I am working toward integrating the templates selection into the admin section if you want to have multiple templates you can change the default template in the db.inc.php file where $template = "Default"; change Default to whatever the new folder name for your new template

I never been work with template, but I know a little bit about HTML. I'm still confuse, please explain it more specific by giving us the example on how we work on template.

the file that end in .tpl are the template files. I use Smarty as the template engine so if you are not comfortable with the Smarty syntax stay away from the enclosed variable {$tag} most things inside the {} can be left alone. the rest is just standard XHTML

Another useful tip for noobies is, using the smarty syntax, you can easily create items that can only be viewed by people logged in (ie contact details for an item) by enclosing the bit you want affected with

Code: Select all

{if $logged_in}
[code to show if logged in ]
{else}
[code to show if not logged in]
{/if}


or use {if logged_in AND $admin} to show stuuf if you are an admin.
