Where can I find the fiels for the default forms so I can edit them?
Via FTP, the files are located here... [public_html]/sohoadmin/program/modules/page_editor/formlib/forms
The two forms included by default are...
- Contact_Form_(Basic).form
- General_Email_Form.form
Points to remember:
- Though they're technicaly just html files, make sure to preserve the .form extension when you upload them back to your site so the system can recognize them (which is the whole idea behind the .form extension --- so know it's a form).
Find your template folder
1. Log-in via FTP to your website and navigate to this folder...
public_html/sohoadmin/program/modules/site_templates/pages/
2. Find the folder for your specific template. This is the naming convention for template folders..
CATEGORY-Template_Name-Color
So if you're using CORPORATE > A_Curvacious_Mark (Blue), your template folder would be...
CORPORATE-A_Curvacious_Mark-Blue
...and the full path from your home directory would be:
public_html/sohoadmin/program/modules/site_templates/pages/CORPORATE-A_Curvacious_Mark-Blue
Swap out your template header text for a logo image
1. Download the index.html file from your template folder
2. Find (ctrl+f) "#LOGO#"
3. Replace it with "#LOGOIMG#"
4. Save the file and upload it back to your template folder
You can now add and change the logo image in your template via Template Manager (where it says choose logo image).
Set background image
1. Log-in via FTP and find your template's folder...
2. Upload the image you want to use as your background to that folder
3. Download the custom.css file that's in there and open it up in your code editor of choice (or notepad will work if nothing else)
4. Add in this code...
body { background-image: url(mybackgroundimage.gif); }
5. Save the file (custom.css) and upload it back to your template's folder
Make a button that links to another website, but opens that link in a new window?
Solution: Pull up the Text Editor where you put in the button, click on the "HTML" button at the bottom left.
The HTML for your button should look something like this...
<input type="button" style="width: 163px; color: rgb(29, 0, 237); height: 24px; background-color: rgb(249, 186, 0);" size="217" value="Click here to go to example.com">
To make this button link to "www.example.com", insert the following "onclick" attribute...
onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com','', 'width=800px,height=600px,resizable');"
So the full code for the button should look something like...
<input type="button" onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com','', 'width=800px, height=600px,resizable');" style="width: 163px; color: rgb(29, 0, 237); height: 24px; background-color: rgb(249, 186, 0);" size="217" value="My Button">
Just replace "www.example.com" with the site you want to link to, and you're good to go.
