New Sub-forum

Hey everyone and welcome to the new “Custom Templates” forum.

Here, we discuss the creation and implementation of custom templates.

Custom templates are HTML files you can use with WD to create a custom website.

I have created two single page templates, one US based, one non-US based, with instructions on their usage.

I am also working on a entire custom template website!

Example sites:

US based template

non-US based template

Note: Non-US based template shows my current units (F and mph), this will change to metric when used by a metric-based WD site (automagically).

AWESOME!

I will be giving this a try later this evening in a sub-folder on my server.

Outstanding Tom… Great Idea :slight_smile:

Very good looking sites. I for one will be putting it to use.
Thank you, Tom.

–Dave

Really nice work. Great job! And totally free. Life is good.
Thank you.

Your timing couldn’t be better :smiley:

Thank you,

And of course it works.

Works like a charm!
Now to “play” with it a little!

He got it fixed.

Glad to see the template installs and works so smoothly!

Because you’re in NORTH Central PA and I’m in SOUTHERN Maryland… or maybe I forgot to set the upload times for the moon.gif?

Very glad to see they’re so plug-n-play… that’s exactly what we’re looking for.

Hopefully this will become a resource area for those looking for templates and code related to custom tags.

I’ve always thought the true power of WD (on the Internet) lay in it’s custom tags. You can do really nice things with them. If we all start sharing that code, it makes designing different content as easy as copy/paste.

Hmmm, very nice indeed :smiley:

Any plans for a template that includes some kind of menu/tab system?

Cool! I feel like a kid in a candy store (although my wife says I’m more like a 7-year old on Christmas Eve)! Never had a weather station… expecting delivery Friday. Never built a web site… and you’ve provided the “easy button.” And a nice looking one at that…

Thanks!
Mitch

Perfect

Took it for a test drive - very nice - should help a lot of folks get started with a website. A fantastic idea and good implementation. Nice job Tom.

That is a really nice templete!
Now How do I install it? :wink:

The readme.doc included in the zip gives all the instructions for set-up.

a big thankyou to Carterlake for all his hard work on this!
:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
(and others who helped him with feedback)
(have fun with that Boltek Carterlake)
and to Chris for creating the sub forum :slight_smile:
(dont forget to make a donation to Chris for hosting this forum if you like :slight_smile: )

I really thought there would be more interest in this…

This is a good thing - getting folks to make use of one more of the great features of WD.
This also integrates nicely with the recent addition of the WYSIWYG editor.

Well, I guess, so many features, so little time…

Looking forward to what CarterLake hints about a whole package including navigation.

Just saying thanks, and a bit of a thread bump
