I have a MCMS 2002 Live and Development site.
I have modified a Template Definition (by simply adding a new
placeholder) on the Development site and want to export it to the Live
site.
I am using the Site Manager Package Import/Export facility.

My questions:
Firstly, when I import to Live, how do I specify the destination
Template Gallery path, as it is not the same as the development server?
I want to replace [livesite] /Templates/mySite/News/NewsDetail with
[devsite] /Templates/myDevSite/NewsDetail.
Secondly, if I re-name the Template on the Live, would all of the
associated postings still point to the old re-named template?
Thirdly, if I run the Import on the Live site, will it just replace
the Template I'm importing or will it affect the other templates in
the same gallery?

Alternately, it would be nice to be able to edit the Template's
placeholder definitions directly on the live server. Is this possible
without installing MS Visual Studio on the server? If so, how?

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm just a little nervous about
breaking the live site, as that would be bad.

Thanks,
John.

Hi John,

it is not possible to change the gallery.
It is required that the gallery is identical on both systems.

Yes it can be done using API or the following component:
