Using alternative results template

Imported from Yahoo
1

How do I get Sailwave to recognise an alternative results template.

I need one for Langstone SC results and another one for Laser 2000
Class Association results, to save me time when creating new web
pages for the sites using appropriate backgrounds and headings.

I've created a new one for Langstone and this is now my default, with
the original Sailwave one renamed in the same directory. I also tried
copying a Results.htm to My Templates.

Hi,

How do I get Sailwave to recognise an alternative results template.<

A word of warning. Sailwave *always* zaps the Templates and Styles folders
with the Sailwave supplied templates/styles on a new version install. If
you create your own templates and styles - make a copy of the template/style
you want to base yours on and save them into the MyTemplates or My Styles
sub-folders - Sailwave never touches these.

So, create your templates in the MyTemplates folder and they'll then
automatically show up in the Publish menu.

There are some magic lines in the template that tell Sailwave what/where to
display the template in the publish menu, e.g.

`template.setmenurank(1)`
`template.setmenutext('&Results...')`
`template.setmenumsg('Publish series summary and/or race details')`

line 1. where it appears in the menu list: 1,2,3,4 etc
line 2. the text to display in the menu - the character preceeded by "&" is
the hot key
line 3. the message that appears in the status bat for that menu item

If you change the contents of MyTemplates while you're in Sailwave you can
refresh the Publish menu contents via the View+RefreshPublishMenu menu
option.

Regards,
Colin

Thanks for your swift reply - publish menu is all sorted out and
working now and my alternative template files are where they ought to
be.

Hi Colin,

I have tried to modify templates with out complete success. I can get them to
show up just fine in the publish menu, but when I have done that they don't seem
to pick up the styles selected from the styles drop down menu. They use only
the styles defined in the template. What I'm I doing wrong.

Hi Dave,

I have been tweaking templates a bit over the last couple of days
On of the things I found is that the styles get placed immediately
before the </body> tag and that this needs to be on a line on its own
and in lower case other wise sailwave cannot figure out where to put
the selected style block.

Hope this helps.

There may be more gotchas, guess I better start making a list !!

Let me know how you get on.

Just for info - sailwave is actually looking for "</head" - it then places
the chosen style sheet lines immediately before that line containing that
string. So you're right, the "</head" needs to be on a line of it's own and
it was case-sensitive. I've fixed the case sensitivity aspect this evening.

Hi Hugh and Colin,

Thanks. Putting the </head > on a line by itself worked great. I was using
Dreamweaver to edit a Copy of the standard Results template. Dreamweaver seems
to dislike the html code in the standard sailwave file and changes it in a
fairly substantial way. The second line of the file gets changed to
<head></head><body> and therefore all the stuff that was supposed to be in the
header section winds up in the body section. I discovered it when I opened the
original Results template in Dreamweaver and could not find </head> on a line by
it self. I couldn't understand how why it worked properly, so I opened it with
notepad and suddenly realized Dreamwaever was doing something odd to the file.
I don't know why yet, but will let you know if I find out.

Hi Dave,

I'll make Sailwave a little more sophisticated about finding the end of the
header section; i.e. make it handle the </head> being in the middle of a
line. NB: I use CuteHTML to edit HTML files - it's essentially a text
editor with HTML helpers, like colour coded text and facilities to insert
tags etc. Glad you're making progress and apologies for the lack of support
documentation at this date.

Regards,
Colin

Sorry Dave, Colin,
I had meant to say </head>, no excuse except it was lateish.

Just a thought Colin, how about introducing an new magic tag
`html.stylewiz` for example.
