Editing
a Template in HTML Programs: Adobe Dreamweaver
or Microsoft FrontPage: |
In order to edit your template in an HTML editor like
Dreamweaver or FrontPage, you must first download one
of FORTUNE3's templates to your computer (unless you
have already done this). If you have not already done
so:
| • |
Select the middle option
"Modify/Customize Template" on the
"My Template" section of "My
Web Pages", click on "Next >". |
| • |
Select a template "Style"
from the menu on the left; then choose a color
combination on the right. |
| • |
Once you have chosen the
template you would like to download and customize,
select the radio button on top of the template
and click on the "Modify As"
button, the template download will begin (this
will require an Internet Connection). |
| • |
Once the template is downloaded,
a screen will prompt you to enter the "Name
of New Template". |
| • |
Fill in the "Name
of New Template" field by entering a
name that would reference your template - we recommend
that you use your FORTUNE3 username as your main
template's name in order to avoid confusion. The
name you enter here will be reflected in your
Template's Folder Path. |
| • |
Click on "OK"
and then click on "Apply" on
the HTML panel Screen - > And Yes on the Prompt
Window. |
Once you have the template
downloaded to your computer,
you may go to the HTML editor program (Dreamweaver,
FrontPage, etc.) and in the program, go to File ->
Open. Then browse through your PC's files to open the
following file on your computer:
C:\Program Files\FORTUNE3 Wizard\Templates\TemplateName\content.html
The Template's Folder Path
should be located in this path:
C:\Program Files\FORTUNE3 Wizard\Templates\TemplateName\
TIP:
TemplateName
= This is what you entered in the
"Name of New Template" field when
you first downloaded the template.
Make your changes to the template
within this file and then simply save the file. Once
you save the file, you are finished, the next time you
upload your site you will see the changes you made to
the Template on your site. Needless to say, this content.html
file is the main file that represents your custom template,
along with other graphic and style sheet files that
are in the Template's Folder Path.
Within
the content.html Template file:
Link to other web pages
that you have on your site by specifying only the page
name followed by .html (exclude the Folder
Path. i.e. <A HREF="pagename.html">Enter
Link Text Here</A>). Please do not use uppercase
letters in the filename. Any uppercase letters in the
filename will automatically be converted to all lowercase
letters to avoid errors. If your web page filename does
have uppercase letters, please enter the full URL into
the link (HREF tag) in order to keep the uppercase letters
as part of the link (<A HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com/PageName.html">Enter
Text Here</A>).
Link to any of the 'FORTUNE3 Shopping Cart & E-Commerce
Wizard software' auto-generated web-pages by using an
of the following tokens:
{f3index}, {f3products}, {f3specials}, {f3shop},
{f3about}, {f3contact}, {f3search}, {f3terms}, {f3privacy},
{f3faq} and {f3orderstatus} as the link addresses
for the links (exclude the Folder Path and the
.html file extension. i.e. <A HREF="{f3privacy}">Privacy
Policy</A>). The following chart depicts each
link token that is available within FORTUNE3:

Refer to new images and animated
objects being incorporated by specifying the file name
followed by the corresponding file extension (.gif,
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .fla, .swf, .swd, .spl /
exclude the Folder Path. i.e. <IMG SRC="imagename.gif..">).
Please do not use uppercase letters in the filename.
Any uppercase letters in the filename will automatically
be converted to all lowercase letters to avoid errors.
If your filename does have uppercase letters, please
enter the full URL of the file (in the SRC tag) in order
to keep the uppercase letters (<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/ImageName.jpg">)
.
Folder Path for the 'Template Design' - where
to put your template's images and files:
Incorporate all of the new
images and animated objects referenced in the HTML code
by saving their corresponding files (.gif, .jpg,
.jpeg, .jpe, .png, .fla, .swf, .swd, .spl formats)
directly into the specified Template's Folder Path
- do not use sub-folders.
The
Template's Folder Path also contains other
files, mostly image files and a style sheet (for example,
the Add to Cart image is in this folder, called btnadd.gif).
You may change any of the files and images in the Template's
Folder Path. When you upload, the changed images
will be reflected on your site.
If you would like to edit the fonts in the style sheet,
you may do so by editing the style.css file that is
located in the Template's Folder Path, but
in order for your modified style sheet to get uploaded
to your site, you must also make sure that style.css
is selected as the "Style Name" in the "Fonts
& Styles" section of the Wizard.
Any new images or files you add to the template
must have the image files located directly in the Template's
Folder Path: C:\Program
Files\FORTUNE3 Wizard\Templates\TemplateName\
without any sub-folders, and referred
to within the HTML code as simply <img src="file.ext".....>.
Please do not use uppercase letters in the filename.
Any uppercase letters in the filename will automatically
be converted to all lowercase letters to avoid errors.
If your filename does have uppercase letters, please
enter the full URL of the file (in the SRC tag) in order
to keep the uppercase letters (<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/ImageName.jpg">).

Editing For Graphic Designers and Web Developers:
To edit the template's buttons and graphics all
at once, use Graphics Software Fireworks to modify
the colors and design of the template's graphics
("template1of2.png", "template-buttons.png",
"templat-design.png" and/or "template2of2.png"
are the possible Fireworks files that should be
downloaded with each template and should be available
in your Template's Folder Path). Do not
delete, change names, shapes, sizes or positions
of the predefined slices.
Once finished, use
the graphics software to export all of the slices
to the specified Template's Folder Path. |
If you want to differentiate each
page with its own Meta Tags, keep the following lines:
<META name="keywords" content="{keywords}">
<META name="description" content="{description}">
<META name="title" content="{title}">
<title>{title}</title>
