Include Pages
In many of our template packages we have used Include pages in specific areas, most commonly for navigation areas, copyright information, and sometimes to hold the "Your Name Here" image. This is a very handy way to organize content that is presented on multiple pages
Open your web and click on the folder list. If you have a folder inside titled “_Includes”, double-click on the folder and you will see the page(s) we have used.
Creating an include page is easy.
- Create a new blank page.
- Add what you want to show up in the include area.
- Now save the page as you would any other.
- On the page where you want the included content added, place you curser in the cell/div/area you want it to appear.
- Switch to spit or code view.
- Where your curser is located, paste this code:
<!--webbot bot="Include" u-include="yourpagenamehere.htm" tag="BODY" --> - Now you've got your include page set into your new page.
Things to Remember:
- You can use included content anywhere on your page.
- Include pages do not rely on the server extensions in order to work.
- Only the portion of the included page that is between the opening and closing body tags is actually included into another page.
Q: How do I edit the Include Page content?
A: Locate the folder within your web titled “include”. Double-click on the folder and you will see one or more pages. Double-click on a page to open it. In that page, you will see that there is no theme applied, no colors, etc. The include page will take on the characteristics of the page in which it is being included.
We frequently use include pages to hold the "your name here" image, some global navigation bars, and the copyright info. All of these are very easy for you to edit and you only have to do it once. The changes will be immediate on all of the pages which contain these included pages.
