Creating a Template

Jan 24, 2020

The definition of a template is a concept created to set how each content will appear on the interfaces.

A subfolder should be created in the GUI\Custom\ES\Template folder with the name to be specified for Template and a file named Default.html should be placed in it.

Template selection methods

  •  Template=<TemplateFolderName> can be passed through the url. The value transmitted will be stored in the browser.

  • By adding under GenericSettings in project settings

    •  The default Template can be specified on a project basis by the definition: "Template":"<TemplateFolderName>"

    •  The Template concept can be turned off by the definition: "DisableTemplate":true

    • You can define a single mandatory Template that can be used in a project by the definition: "ForceTemplate":"<TemplateFolderName>". When this definition is made, all other Template determination methods are ignored.

  • The "Template":"<TemplateFolderName>" definition to be added under SystemJSONSettings can specify the default Template for all projects.

 

A value of "none" means that a Template is not selected.

 

Definitions and Examples

 

Default.html can contain dece-template in the same way as described in Displaying Template search results , or it can contain special methods explained in the same address or in other documents. A Template should just change the document view and it should not interfere with other fields on the pages. Colors, Theme, Order is a Layout topic.

Html CSS can contain script definition. It can load another CSS or script.
