 APB Template 1.1 is a must have script for web designers. So far, if you wish to change the design of your entire web site, you have to change HTML code of every single web page. Time consuming, isn't it? APB Template will edit common parts of your web pages in a few seconds.
In most cases, web pages consist of three main parts, as shown in a Fig.1. The first part covers top and left navigation bars, the third part covers right and bottom navigation parts. These parts usually don't change from page to page. Only the second part which covers main content differs. If this is your case, APB Template 1.1 is right solution for you.
Before you run APB Template 1.1 for the first time, you have to tell the script what is the main part of your HTML code. You do it by putting <!-- BEGIN MAIN PART --> just before main part and <!-- END MAIN PART --> just after main part of HTML. See source code of this page for an example.
Create new directory htmledit, copy all files you wish to modify to subdirectory htmlold. Edit two files bottompart.txt and toppart.txt which contain common parts of your web pages, move them to main htmledit directory. Finaly create empty subdirectory htmlnew where new pages will be created. Your file structure should look like this:
1 MAIN_HTML_DIRECTORY
|
| 1 htmledit
| |
| | 1 htmlold
| | |
| | | file1.html
| | |
| | | file2.html
| |
| | 1 htmlnew
| |
| | bottompart.txt
| |
| | toppart.txt
|
| 1 CGI-BIN
