Below you'll find the instructions on how to add your own templates and properly link to them from other In-portal pages:

1. New Pages

a. Manually (not from Admin)
Make a copy of "index.tpl" template as many times as you need. Rename it the filename to whatever you need. Next, you can take out everything between the main table tags:



&lt;inp:include _template=&quot;common/head.tpl&quot; /&gt;

&lt;BODY&gt;

&lt;inp:include _Template=&quot;common/pagetop.tpl&quot; /&gt;



&lt;table width=&quot;770&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;&gt;

    &lt;!-- start content --&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;

        &lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; height=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;

and



&lt;/td&gt;

    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;!-- content \\--&gt;

    &lt;inp:include _Template=&quot;common/footer.tpl&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;



&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Please note, that the code is from the "default" theme.

b. Using On-line Template Editor (Admin)
Go to Admin->Configuration->Themes section and double-click on your theme, or create a new one. Next click on add new template button and define template name (Latin (alphabetical) characters ONLY!) with no spaces or quotes or any other special characters - plain text. You can use "_" if you need. Next, copy and paste the above code into your new template and click save.

Please note that "themes/" folder and any other file you will working with should be fully writable from the web (777 permissions) in order to modify it using In-portal on-line Template Editor.

2. Link to new Template
Simply use the m_template_link tag in order to make a link to any template. There is a full description with accepted attributes and examples listed in In-tag library (Admin->Modules&Settings: Tag Library)
