4.4. Edit Page Function
Creating a page with the following specifications using the Edit Page function results in the HTML and ITL code displayed below.
Specifications:
Template: Page with top/left areas. Page title: test Page banner: test Members only: No Component before content: Best Sellers Component after content: Random items Component items horizontal: 3 Before/after Banner: New items Special tag: Specials Content: <P>My first HTML/ITL page!
Resulting code:
[comment] ui_template: Yes ui_template_name: leftonly [/comment] [set hbanner]New items[/set] [set page_title]test[/set] [set hpromo_type]specials[/set] [set component_hsize]3[/set] [set page_banner]test[/set] [set members_only]0[/set] [set component_before]best_horizontal[/set] [set component_after]random_horizontal[/set] @_LEFTONLY_TOP_@ <!-- BEGIN CONTENT --> <P>My first HTML/ITL page! <!-- END CONTENT --> @_LEFTONLY_BOTTOM_@
An important point demonstrated here is the inclusion of the region templates LEFTONLY_TOP and LEFTONLY_BOTTOM through the @_VARIABLE_NAME_@ notation. These are included because of line 4 of the leftonly template definition file:
4 ui_template_layout: LEFTONLY_TOP, UI_CONTENT, LEFTONLY_BOTTOM
However, understand that you are free to change the region templates used in the file by editing the file itself or, better yet, using an existing region as a starting point for a region of your own design.
The next section explains the structure of region templates.
