Adding Templates

SiteBuilder allows you to add new web site templates to its repository so that the users can have wider choice for creation of their sites or update the existing ones.

Skins manipulation tools reside at the Templates page in the Update system tab. This page shows all templates currently available on the SiteBuilder's server and a number of controls.

Adding Templates

To update or add a template, press the Browse... button to locate a file with the template and click the Load file button. All templates in SiteBuilder have their unique identifiers (ID's) so that the system can tell them apart easily. So, when you are updating an existing template, the ID in the file you are trying to upload will coincide with the ID of the existing template; therefore, you have to indicate that you want to update the existing version. If SiteBuilder has found coinciding ID's, it will present you with the screen where it compares the contents of template on server and that of the template you supply.

Updating existing template

If you really want to update the existing template with the supplied one, ensure that the radio button at the bottom of this screen is set in the Update position. The New name (ID) position serves the purpose of adding a new template, i.e. template on the server with this ID will not be deleted; instead, the skin you supply will be given another ID and will be completely independent. After choosing this option, an edit box will appear to the right of the radio button where you will have to type the new ID you want to give the template.

If you have developed or bought a new template, its ID will not coincide with the existing ones and SiteBuilder will just show you the page with the information on the contents of the template.

Adding new skin

In both variants you have to press the OK button to finish the uploading process after which this new or updated template will be available for users.
