Can I easily change the colors on this template?
- Yes, VERY easily as long as you know how to work with a style sheet.
All our colors and fonts are controlled by an external style sheet, twcxxx.css,
located in the root directory of the web. Note that the colors for
the vertical menu in the flash movie are NOT controlled by css; you will
need to change the background color for the flash movie in the file "include_top.htm"
to change the button background color. If you need light buttons with
dark lettering, you will need to adjust the flash source file (included)
with Flash MX.
How do I change the images in the flash movies?
- You will (of course) need image editing software to crop and size your
images to fit into the various frames of the movies. All images for
the flash movies are located in the root directory of the web. You
will locate the file you wish to change, then size your file the same and
save with the same name into the same directory, overwriting our originals:
3 non-progressive .jpg files named image1.jpg, image2.jpg and image3.jpg,
sized 560px wide by 200px high.
How do I change the links and link names in the flash
movie?
-
Open the file data.txt file, which contains:
button1=Home&
&button2=Getting Started&
&button3=What's Included&
&button4=Template FAQs&
&button5=Product Catalog&
&button6=License Agreement&
&button7=Contact Information&
&button8=Site Map&
&url1=default.htm&
&url2=introduction.htm&
&url3=whats_included.htm&
&url4=faq.htm&
&url5=products.htm&
&url6=license_agreement.htm&
&url7=contact_info.htm&
&url8=site_map.htm&
You will leave our field id's (such as url1, url2, etc.), all = signs, and
all & characters in place. Replace ONLY the text after = in each instance
and before &. These field id's are as follows:
button1, button2, ..., button8: The names that will appear in the
upper ink bar
url1, url2, ..., url8: The html pages each "button" will link to
Can I remove or add to the 8 existing flash button links?
- Not really. If you have more than 8 pages to link, we recommend
you structure your site properly so the additional pages are linked in submenus.
If you have less than 8 pages to link, consider using a link for your email
address such as:
&url8=mailto:yourname@somethingmail.com;
or linking to an outside source, such as:
&url8=http://www.google.com&
How do I change the Your Name Here in the flash logo header?
- Open the file cname.txt, which contains
cname=YOUR NAME HERE
simply replace YOUR NAME HERE with what you want to appear on the page.
What if I don't WANT to use the flash logo?
- No problem. Open the file include_top.htm and simply delete the
flash from the Normal/Design view, then either insert your own graphical
logo or type your information in within FrontPage and save.
How do I change the copyright information at the bottom of the pages?
- You need to do that only on the page "include_bot.htm" - the changes
will be effective throughout all pages of your web.
Can I add more pages?
- Certainly! You can add as many as you wish! Just use one
of our blank page templates (see the "What's Included" page of this template).
Go to the Folder List (View, Folders) and open the template or your choice.
As soon as it is open, go to File, Save AS... - then save it as the name
you want your new page to have. Now, go to the Navigation view (View,
Navigation). Is your Folder List open as well? If not, the go
to View, Folder LIST to open it. Next, locate the new filename in
the Folder List (it's probably at the bottom), left click over it and while
holding down the left mouse button, drag it over into the Navigation Structure
and drop it where you want it, so that it is underneath either the Home
page or another existing page. Repeat every time you wish to add a
new page!
Can I use your images for business cards/brochures/ads?
- No. We have paid the appropriate licensing fees for you to use
the imagery free of copyright infringement for a web site only. If
you wish to use the imagery for other purposes, you will need to obtain
your own license. Please refer to the license agreement included with
this template for additional details.
Why doesn't my form work?
- Your form has to be programmed according to your own server to work.
Please refer to our general template FAQs on our web site for more information.
