Changing homepage template
|
|
|
| We want to change the homepage of one of our sites so that it uses a
different template. Is there a simple way of doing this, or do I have to
create a new version of the site using the new homepage template and copy the
content across?
| |
|
| I had to do this before - it's probaly not the best way but it worked for me.
1. Copied the HTML form the placeholders of the existing homepage.
2. Created a new homepage template ASPX file.
3. In the MCMS Template Explorer, pointed the homepage TemplateFile Property
to the new homepage template file.
4. Pasted the old HTML into the new placeholders.
I also had to make sure the new template file was in the same virtual
directory as the old file.

| Hi Kyle,
that is the correct way to do this - or to use a script that does it.
Cheers,
Stefan
