Dynamic Web Template?

T

Tomas

I am currently using FrontPage 200

I am redesigning our current web site and I was wondering if there is a way to use one template to change the rest of the web pages without having to make the changes on all 25 pages

If so can you direct me in the right directions...I've made a template of what I want but it doesnt update the rest of the pages. Am i out of luck

Hi Tomas,

Probably..DWT's are new in FP 2003 and not available in FP2002.

However you have to create your pages from the beginning using the DWT. This feature is not
available in versions prior to FP2003.

Yes and no .... dwt only comes with fp2003 .. however there is an addon that
can keep your title and file name and use a base template and replace all
the pages you tell it to... you can then reinsert the content from your
orginal (you will have made a copy of the site), this is a fudge halfs the
work, but it won't get you exactly what you want. You can also use includes
for major areas like headers menus footers that need changing every now and
then. In fp03 you can use includes with dwt's too.
The addon is from http://frontpagedevices.com and is called Page Tools -
Template copier.

I am using FP 2002, so I am not sure about the DWT stuff.

However, I use the include page option to include another
html page on certain pages. Then I can change the one
page and it updates all the others. I use it in making a
header. I also set all the other pages to use formating
from the one page, so backgrounds and link colors all
change from the one page.

Good luck,

David. B.

PS: Sometimes I have to open the pages will the include
page opened in page view, then save or some of the DHTML
effects go haywire, producing errors in the browser.
