Setting up your website template: Step 1: EDIT HEADER LOGO: | More details The text header logo includes 2 parts for the 2 different header logo colors used. Open the "header.js" in a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit and edit the text following the "var logo1" and the text following "var logo2" with your website name. Make the same edit in the "header_faq.js" for the FAQ page header. View more details. GRAPHIC LOGO: If you would like to use a graphic logo, skip the above step and see the "options" section later in this document. HEADER IMAGE: To change the color of the header icon image edit the "var imagheader" in the "header.js". Available images are located in the "picts/header_image" folder. Step 2: EDIT COPYRIGHT: | Click for more details Open the "copyright.js" file in Notepad or any text editor, and change the "Your Company" with your name or company name. This will update the footer info on all pages. Edit all ".js" files with a text editor. Step 3: EDIT CONTACT INFO: | Click for more details Open the "phone.js" file in Notepad or any text editor and change the company name, address, phone and fax number, and e-mail address (edit the e-mail in 2 places). This will update contact info on the contact page. This is done as a javascript file so your e-mail will not be read by search engines and you'll receive less spam e-mail. Step 4: EDIT THE CONTACT & QUOTES FORM: | Click for more details Click for current info on setting up the template forms. Click for info on adding more fields to the forms. Click for changing form sizes or colors. Because of the complexity of setting up the quote form, there are notes in the "quotes.htm" to help you cut and paste to add new form fields. The form will work with most contact form scripts however you will need help files or a sample form from the script you intend to use. Most form elements work the same way from script to script, however the hidden values usually vary. You may want to consider editing the entire page in Notepad instead of a wysiwyg editor. If you want to use only e-mail on the contact page you can remove the contact form from the "contact.htm" between the comment tags. Step 5: REPLACE THE GALLERY PICTURES: | Click for more details The best way to setup the pictures in the gallery is not to actually edit the HTML pages and change the pictures on each individual page. The fastest way is to simply replace the pictures in the "gallery" folder with your own by overwriting the files that are in there now and using the same generic names. In the "gallery" folder, replace the 18 "Fgallery" pictures with full size photos. Replace the 18 "gallery" pictures with your thumbnails. The thumbnails are now 130 x 87 pixels and Fgallery images are 500 x 333 pixels, but you can make them any size that you prefer. Edit the text under the image in the "image-viewer.htm" and the slideshow.htm. IMAGE VIEWER OPTIONS: | Click for more details You can change some options for the gallery image viewer page (image-viewer.htm) by editing the pop-closeup.js in Notepad. Options include new browser window, or popup for the viewer. Step 6: EDIT THE FAQ PAGES: | Click for more details See your FAQ page for complete instructions. Step 7: EDIT THE MENUS AND DROPDOWN MENUS: | Menu Editing | Adding Pages This template includes horizontal CSS menus. You can edit the menus as you need and add and remove links and pages. You will edit the menu.js in a text editor to change the menu names and add items. Click for CSS horizontal menu help. Step 8: EDIT LEFT SIDEBAR: | Click for more details You will edit the "sidebar.htm" like any other HTML page. Editing the "sidebar.htm" will update all the pages at one time. If you need more height in the sidebar you can edit the "sidebar-frame" height style in the CSS color theme file you are using in the "colors" folder. SETTING UP THE SIDEBAR SCROLLER: The scroller in the sidebar is showing 3 HTML pages that you will edit like normal web pages. Edit the 3 "scroller?.html" pages in the "scroller" folder. You can edit the "scroll.variables0.js" to change the scroller size or speed or add or remove pages to the scroller window. Do not edit the "scroll.html". Edit the "sidebar-left.js" to switch off the scroller. Height and width for the scroller are set in the "scroll.dflt.js" and "scroll.variables0.js". Step 9: EDIT RIGHT SIDEBAR: | Click for more details Open the "sidebar-right.js" file in Notepad or any text editor, and edit the text and links with your own text. You will also find some options at the top of this file including switching off the sidebar text and images and setting the width of the right sidebar (also edit the width in the CSS files in the "colors" folder). Editing the "sidebar-right.js" will update all HTML pages at one time. Step 10: EDIT PAGES: | Software choices | Notepad Editing Edit the text on all HTML pages with your website information. You can use Expression Web, Frontpage, Dreamweaver, any wysiwyg HTML editor or a text editor like Notepad. Take care not to delete any of the HTML tags that surround the text. You will find notes inside each page to help you navigate. NOTE: You will not see the footer and header in some software because they are .js include files so you can globally edit your sidebars and menus. Step 11: SETUP THE SITE SEARCH: Click for site search setup info. To turn off the site search edit the "search.js" and edit the show search to "no". (also in your extras folder see the search-sample-code.txt for an example of the code from Google CSE). The optional search .js files for this template will be in your "extras" folder. Step 12: EDIT TITLES, DESCRIPTIONS AND KEYWORDS: | Click for more details Open each of the pages and change the titles (at the very top of the page) and also the description and the keywords with your product or service info. You can edit one page and copy and paste to the other pages. Be careful to only change what's inside the "" so you don't disturb the html code. Page titles are important so your site will get a good listing at Google, Yahoo!, Bing and other search engines. Click for optimization help. Step 13: UPLOAD: | Click for more details Upload the pages on to your hosting company's server using ftp software or Windows Explorer or your control panel. Be sure to upload the "picts", "gallery", "scroller", "PDF" and "colors" folders and all files and subfolders in these folders. Options: USING A GRAPHIC LOGO: | More details To replace the text logo with a graphic logo: edit the "header.js". Change the "var logotype" from "text" to "graphic" (all lowercase). Do the same edit in the "header_faq.js". In the "picts" folder you will find a graphic called "logo.jpg". Edit this graphic with your logo image. The "logo.jpg" is now 60 pixels high. You can make this image any size you would like, if you resize this image you may need to move the "date-location" in your CSS file. HEADER COLOR: The background color for the header can be edited in your CSS color file in the "colors" folder. Edit the ".headercolor" class on, or near, line #104. PDF PAGE SETUP: | Click for more details In the "PDF" folder, replace the "PDFsample1.pdf" through "PDFsample6.pdf" with your PDF files. Edit the "PDFgallery.htm" with info for your PDF files. Click link above for setup details. CHANGING THE TEMPLATE COLOR THEME: | Click for more details Open the "colortheme.css" and edit 2 lines to change the color theme. One line for page colors, and one for the menu color. Available themes you can use are listed at the top of this file. For the sidebar text scroller edit the "scrollertheme.css". Click link above for details. EXAMPLE: edit only the "blue" in the code as shown below in 2 places to another color listed in the "colortheme.css": @import url("colors/blue.css"); @import url("colors/blue-menu.css"); To change the color of the header icon image edit the "var imagheader" in the "header.js". Available images are located in the "picts/header_image" folder. COLORS AND FONTS: | Click for more details This is a Chrome color template. All template colors and fonts will be edited in the css files in the "colors" folder. Color themes can be changed in the "colortheme.css" and "scrollertheme.css" files. IMAGES USED FOR COLORS: | Click for more details The images used for the template colors will be in the "picts" folder and then inside the appropriate color folder. EXAMPLE: All images used in the "blue" theme, if you set the "colortheme.css" to blue, will be in the "picts/blue" folder. Some .PSD color images for editing purposes only may be in the "extras" folder. SETTING UP THE SLIDESHOW PICTURES: | Click for more details The slideshow is currently setup to display all pictures in the gallery folder. If you would like to add or remove pictures from the slideshow, open the slideshow.htm in Notepad and look for the "EDIT THIS AREA" note. Copy and paste to add new pictures to the list, or delete lines to remove pictures. You can also set the AutoPlay speed. Look for "var rotate_delay = 3000". CHANGING / ADDING MENU BUTTONS: See the "EDIT THE MENUS AND DROPDOWN MENUS" section above. GALLERY MENU: | Click for more details The "menu_gallery.js" is used to show the right side gallery images with links on the gallery pages. See the notes inside this file to add more gallery links. PRODUCTS MENU: | Click for more details The "menu_products.js" is used only in the "CARTgallery?.htm" pages. See the notes inside this file to add more gallery links. See "PAYPAL SETUP" below to use the "CARTgallery?.htm" pages. PICTURES: | Click for more details You can replace the pictures with your own. The pictures are now 750 x 80 (or 30) pixels but you can use any size picture you want and the pages will size them to fit automatically. Each page has it's own picture which is named according to the page it's on. You will find all pictures in the "picts" folder. ADDING PAGES: | Click for more details You can add pages to your website by copying and pasting any one of the pages and renaming it to whatever you need. You can then add links from the other pages or add the page link to the menu by opening the "menu.js" and copying and pasting one of the buttons below another. SITE MAP PAGE: The "site_map.htm" is linked from the index.html. It is best not to remove this link so search engines can find your site map and properly list all your pages when users search at major search engines. PAGE HEIGHTS: So all your pages will maintain a standard height, page-height code is included in the CSS color theme file you are using in the "colors" folder. You can edit the ".page-height" class to change the page heights. The ".sidebar-frame" class also affects page heights. EXTRAS FOLDER FILES: The files in the extras folder are optional files. You can use any of these files as indicated elsewhere on this help page and related support pages. This folder does not need to be uploaded to your hosting area.
