Maintain Folder

Overview

This is the reference documentation for the administration menu item: Templates→Folders

Using this functionality you can maintain information about the folders containing the HTML templates used to generate the webpages.

Grid Page

The grid is ordered by the folder path.

Entering a value in the "Search for" field and pressing Find will limit the contents of the grid to the records where the "Path" contains the entered value.

Entering a value in the "Start with" field positions the list based on the path.

Update

On the update page you can update all values for the folder.

Delete

When you press "Delete" validation will check whether the folder is used in a folder list.

If the folder is being used you are not allowed to delete it.

If the folder is not being used a confirmation page is shown, where you can chose to either confirm or cancel the deletion.

Copy

On the copy page you can copy an existing folder to a new folder.

Insert

Pressing "Insert" leads you to the insert page, where you can create a new folder.

By checking the "Continue insertion" box you can avoid returning to the grid page after pressing "Insert". The input fields will just be cleared for the insertion of a new record.

Fields

For each folder you can specify the following information:

Basic Information

Description

A text description of the contents of the folder specified.

Template Path

Template path relative to root

Specifies the physical location of the template relative to the root specified during the installation of WebsydianExpress.

The output field "Template root" shows the specified root.

The combination of the template root and the template path relative to root must be the full path for the folder in the file system.

Web Server Resources

URL reference for resources

If any of the templates contains references to images or other resource files, then these images must be located on the web server. This field contains the URL address to the folder on the web server where the images are stored.

URL reference for java script resource

The full URL address to the JavaScript resource file used by the templates. If no JavaScript file is used, this field can be blank. Can be overridden when a folder is assigned to a folder list.

URL for style sheet (CSS)

The full URL address to the Style Sheet used by the templates. Can be overridden when a folder is assigned to a folder list.

Please note that the three URL's specified in the section Web server Resources all refers to locations on the web server - not on the application server.
