Select the Design

The final step in creating your URL link is inserting the code that tells the PHP script to use your design.

This is done by taking your URL and adding the code that specifies your set of templates.

Type &template=****, substituting your template group's name for ****.

 

Now that you are finished creating your URL, you should have a URL that looks similar to one of these:

http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news/releases/results.php? college=YOURSCHOOL&template=YOURTEMPLATES

http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news/releases/results.php? college=YOURSCHOOL&year=YEAR&template=YOURTEMPLATES

http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news/releases/results.php? category=CATAGORY&release_body=KEYWORD&template=YOURTEMPLATES

http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news/releases/display.php? id=XXX&template=YOURTEMPLATES

Once you have included this line of code in your page, in the place you selected, save your work.

Upload the new page to the server, and view the results in your browser.

Once you incorporate this URL into a hyperlink on your page, visitors will be able to view the news content as you have selected with the look and feel of your website.
