Custom template tags [TAGS] overview

A list of available tags and what they do

Template Tags (HTML)

These tags are added into the template area (TEMPLATES A - F) adding additional functionality to your site.

[COPYRIGHT] Will be replaced with a default copyright message e.g © Copyright (website) where (website) is the name of the site specified within the CMS

[FOOTER]

You can also specify your own footer information by going to the Design > Custom Template Editor > Other Include Files > Footer (footer.html) section.

[LOGO] Will be replaced with the Image you specify in the Design > Website Logo Graphic options.

wrapping the [ZONE2] tag to specify alternate H2 formats)
[LOGIN] A login form, and/or members only short form menu. Depending on status, use one of these CSS customisations.... #cmsTemplateLoginForm #cmsTemplateLoggedIn .MemberName .LoginInput .loginSubmit Learn more at: Advanced Members Widget
[LOGINH] Creates a login button which opens field entry in a popup window.

[SHOPLINKS] Add the standard shopping links

Banner Tags

[BANNER] Will be replaced with the image specified in the Design > Banner section of the CMS. Note it will resize to 600px if a flash banner is used.
