Go into: Advanced | Templates | Brochure tab and the Primary button will bring up the default Brochure template...

All the best......

Yeah, this is the file I have been changing, but I don't see how to add a filename to the layout properties, or where the settings are.

You have to programme in HTML.

Basically, you need to find the location within the template that you want your image to be position and then program in the html to show the image, i.e. <IMG SRC="filename.gif" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="??" WIDTH="??"> and make sure that the image is within the Site1 folder so that it is previewed ok and uploaded by the Actinic software....

Hope it helps, but this is the main way of customising your templates, so if you think you are going to be having problems, then maybe try a good html book, the Advanced User Guide maybe that is on the Actinic website..

Hi,

I have programmed a table in html with images and links to other pages made with Actinic. I want this to be seen only on the main page. I have it positioned within the template at the correct location, in amongst the Actinic code - the images and links work fine at the moment.

The problem is that since this is a template it is on every page that uses this template. You said to create a new filename with my code in it, which is fine and then add it to this template - this is my problem now. I can't see the settings on how to add extra files to a template and to ensure they are only loaded on to one page.

Thanks again for your input!

Have you changed the Home page layout only to the new template containing your image.

Check that only the home page is using your amended brochure template and then make sure all other brochure pages are using the non amended brochure template.

You can in effect have hundreds of different brochure templates with all of them having a different set up, for example, take a look at www.theflyingpiguk.com. This uses a different brochure template for each of the home, delivery, about, price promise pages which enables the different images at the head of each main content area.

Check those layout choices within the brochures and I am sure you will end up with the image in just one and all the others without it.

All the best....

Fantastic - this works a treat, thanks for you help and patience.

I now have a better understanding of how Actinic links together and the calls that it makes in the html templates to the information from the front end. I'll use this template manipulation in the future.

Thanx!
