Creating template pages
A Dreamweaver template is a special type
of page that contains a preset page layout, and includes
elements such as page banners and navigation menus. In Contribute,
you can create a page based on Dreamweaver templates.
You can also edit a page based on a template or edit template properties
for
a page
based on a template. A template gives you a starting
point for new website pages and can ensure that your website
has a consistent look when you create pages based on a template.
In a template, the designer or site administrator creates regions
to control which elements on a template-based page you can edit.
There
are
editable
regions in a template, which you can edit, and locked regions,
which you can’t
edit.
To create a new page based on a Dreamweaver template, access the
File pulldown menu and select New Page. In the New Page dialogue
box, look for the name of your site on the list if the left-side
panel. Templates you have permission to use are located in the
Templates folder on your list of new page types.
