<p class="minihdr">Template description
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Templates are basically skeleton documents, code snippets and files to link to. Quanta
|
|
uses templates fundementally as a standard file system with enhanced organization and interfacing.
|
|
You can copy, move or link any repository currently on your system into the templates tree.
|
|
Think of Quanta templates as having roughly the limitations to your imagination that your file system
|
|
has.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Templates exist in nested directories. There is no limit to how deep you can nest them however
|
|
within any given directory Quanta expects a consistent action for the base template type described
|
|
below. Additionally templates allow for <i>pre</i> and <i>post</i> text to be concatonated to
|
|
non document type templates. This facilitates tag creation. The next update after the introduction
|
|
is scheduled to add the ability to pass variables to the text such as image size information to
|
|
assist in tag creation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="minihdr">Template types
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Currently templates are limited to being one of the following types of objects:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Document </li>
|
|
<li>Text to insert in a document </li>
|
|
<li>A file to link to from a document </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Documents can be any type of document. Generally you would want to nest more specific or diverse
|
|
documents in subdirectories. Here you can make a basic framework for what you do and deliver it
|
|
to your work in an organized fashion and realize much better effiency. Text insertion could be
|
|
anything from a snippet of code to a script or whatever you might wish to use. Note also this overlaps
|
|
the ability to insert text blocks as an action which can be triggered from the toolbar. Linked files
|
|
can be binary, PHP class libraries or whatever.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="minihdr">Template scope
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> Templates are scoped into three general categories: Global, Local and Project.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Global - Available to all folks all the time. </li>
|
|
<li>Local - Available to a specific user (maybe others if they can see it where it
|
|
exists in the file system). </li>
|
|
<li>Project - Available to the associated project only. </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="minihdr">Creating templates
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Create a document structure that you love (XML, HTML, DocBook, etc.) and
|
|
click on File->Save as Template->Save as Local/Project Template.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> Once this is done, you'll notice that (even if it's saved as a Project template)
|
|
the template does NOT show in the project tab view. Look into the templates view
|
|
to find your template under the Project templates tab.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Additinoally if you look at your options with the Right Mouse Button (RMB) you
|
|
will see complete file management tools for creatind directories or copying and pasting
|
|
templates from one location to another.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="minihdr">Using templates with Projects
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Project templates allow you to be more tightly focused. You can create headers, footers
|
|
or go dynamic with PHP include files and link them. Additionally there are some very
|
|
cool things we took into consideration when using templates in projects.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>When creating a project you can opt to copy over all global and user templates. </li>
|
|
<li>Legacy project get default templating abilities so nothing is lost </li>
|
|
<li>You can choose where to locate your template files so they can be in your server root
|
|
and easy to upload or you can make them secure to link to below server root which is a
|
|
very cool trick </li>
|
|
<li>When linking to a file not in the project templates you will be prompted to copy
|
|
the file to the project templates prior to linking. This will prevent broken links on upload. </li>
|
|
<li>You always have control where you place your templates so you can choose to move them.
|
|
However Quanta does not track this so you will need to change links. This is a good
|
|
task for tdefilereplace which we are setting up to plug in as a kpart. </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="minihdr">Templates conclusion
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Our goal with templates is to extend them to include multi file "concept" templates useful
|
|
for things like placing an order or creating an about section, Ideally this will be a tool for
|
|
making your work more productive and dynamic. An eventual goal is to have a structural template
|
|
design mode to deal with site layout and structure which you could use to design and interactively
|
|
update your sites. If you would like to be involved contact us.
