InvenTrack makes use of a templating system called Smarty. Below we will touch base on the files you can edit to make your site have a custom look. If you would like more information on Smarty please visit the official Smarty Website.
The template files for your site are located in the templates/default folder.
|
We recommend you create a new folder in the templates folder such as 'custom' and copy the contents of the default folder to it and make your customizations there. This will keep any future updates from overwriting any customizations you have made. |
Main template files:
| • | comparevehicles.tpl - Vehicle comparison page. |
| • | contactus.tpl - Contact us layout page. |
| • | creditapplication.tpl - Credit Application |
| • | directions.tpl - Directions |
| • | footer.tpl - Site footer, shows on all pages |
| • | header.tpl - Site header, shows on all pages |
| • | listnewcars.tpl - New car listings page |
| • | listusedcars.tpl - Used car listings page |
| • | navigation.tpl - Site navigation |
| • | orderparts.tpl - Order parts page |
| • | ourstaff.tpl - Staff page |
| • | paymentcalculator.tpl - Payment calculator popup |
| • | printvehicle.tpl - Print vehicle details popup |
| • | quickquote.tpl - Quick quote page |
| • | searchresults.tpl - Search results page |
| • | serviceappointment.tpl - Service appointment page |
| • | specials.tpl - Specials page |
| • | tellafriend.tpl - Tell a friend popup |
| • | vehicledetails.tpl - Vehicle details page |
The pages above hold the HTML for your site. You can edit any of them to customize your site. You can also interact with the PHP parts of the site using the Smarty templating system. To do so please visit the Smarty Website for more information.
|
We recommend using a program such as phpDesigner to edit the pages. DO NOT use a program such as front page to edit the pages as it will corrupt the files and cause them to not work properly. |
