Simple HTML Changes

[myles]

Hello all.

I'd like to attempt a few small changes to the template (color, links, etc.) but I need some guidance. I know a fair amount of html, but my problem is getting to the right place. Give me an open text editor and I can probably make the changes I need. My problem is finding it. What file am I looking for? I've been in the articlelive folder, and I've poked around in the template folder too, but nothing I open appears to be the html I know.

Anyone know what file I should look for to modify the html a bit?

Thanks,
Myles

There are some instructions in the documentation:

Under 'Skins/Templates'.

If you need more information let us know.

Thanks for the reply. After looking at that, I guess I'll be hiring someone to do those "simple" html changes instead. *shrug*

Hi Myles,

The basic rundown is this.

In the page (eg Default.html) it has placeholders for the panels - eg
%%Panel.RecentBlogsPanel%%

That corresponds to a file in the Panels/ directory.

To change how the RecentBlogsPanel looks, edit the Panels/RecentBlogsPanel.html file.

You'll also need to look at the stylesheet (Styles.css in the templates directory).

Does that help?

and if i want to make example Chat.php 0r .html using the same templates my articlelive websita has? is that possible

Hi,

Yes it is possible and I am currently working on better documentation for ArticleLive that will tell you how to do these sort of things.

Creating your own panel is a complicated thing to do at the moment. We have a new feature in our next ArticleLive release that allows you to use %%Include.Myfile.html%% and put what ever you want into myfile.html and it will show up exactly where you put the placeholder. That should be able to do what you want.

That Will Be More And Much Better
