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.

Note: Clicking the Grey Footer Tab within the editor and adding content there inserts it into the base of the [CONTENT] area not the [FOOTER] area.

[LOGO] Will be replaced with the Image you specify in the Design > Website Logo Graphic options.
[ZONE2] An additional section seperate to the main CONTENT editor. Useful for sidebar information or if the design you choose to implement is complex or requires alternate css rules (e.g adding a class to the
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.
[SEARCH] Add a site search box, note that it right aligns by default, so may need a wrapper table to do anything else with it.

[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.

[PAGEBANNERORBANNER] Shows either the page banner if present, or the site banner otherwise... great for standard templates.
