Looking for basic documentation/How to change Templates

[Bekah Russell]

I'm a developer making template changes to an existing Reddot/open
text installation. I'm having trouble figuring out how to set a
'default' template type or to change a page's template. Any help on
this, or a lead to documentation on how to do this would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi Bekah,

if you want to change the template of a page then you just have to
click on the page in SmartTree and then coose "Replace Content Class".
In the upcoming dialogue you can then choose another content class
(with the same amount of templates) and define whether you would like
to just replace the content class for this specific page or for all
pages based on this content classs.

The question regarding a default template is difficult to answer
because I don't really get what the goal should be. If you want to
define a specific display format (HTML, XML, etc.) then you can do
this when opening the user settings. There you can define the project
variant that shall be used to display the content. If your question is
more like:"How can I define that users can just choose specific
content classes in a specific area of the project" then we speak about
preassignment of content classes. This can be done by clicking on a
link/list/container and then on "Preassign content classes" via the
action menu.

If you don't find the things I mentioned then ask the question again
at www.SolutionExchange.info. There we would have the option to upload
images (e.g.: screenshots) to make it easier to find things.

Best regards,
Manuel
