Multiple templates - one for each homepage?
|

I have a project that Realty Manager would be perfect for but my only issue is that I need to have multiple templates for each home page and associated listings. Each homepage and associated listings will be for a different country and would require different links.
Does anyone know if this is possible? It looks like it is not but after some pondering...
What are your thoughts on this as a possible solution:
1. setup server for .html to work as SSI
2. Use database fields to assist in using the right server side fields like this:
<!--#include virtual="/includes/$user_name$/$hfield10$.html"-->
assuming $hfield10$ is a drop down like (,header,nav,footer,)
3. setup the includes in required directories with correct field names.
So, for one home page I would get:
/includes/tonga/header.html & /includes/tonga/nav.html
and another:
/includes/fiji/header.html & /includes/fiji/nav.html
Does anyone see any problems associated with this?
Many Thanks

Hi Jan,
That's a good idea. You would have to create each of the user's directories manually and make sure the directory name matches the user's name.
Here's how I would set up Realty Manager so each users homepage has its own unique design.
1. Given that I have a user named John Doe - create a directory named /John Doe/ and upload his unique header, nav, and footer files. Name these files header.html, nav.html, and footer.html, respectively.
Each user would follow this same naming convention. So if I had a user named Suzie Sue, she would have a directory named /Suzie Sue/ and you would upload copies of header.html, nav.html, and footer.html specifically designed for her into the /Suzie Sue/ directory.
2. Modify the _publish_homepage.html template file to include the following SSIs.
<!--#include virtual="/$user_name$/header.html"-->
<!--#include virtual="/$user_name$/nav.html"-->
<!--#include virtual="/$user_name$/footer.html"-->
3. And that's really all there is to it.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions please let me know. :)
