One way to expand a site is to insert Corel Website Creator X6 templates in a specific location in your site. Templates are especially helpful if you have standard boilerplate sections or pages that you want to add to multiple sites. This is also a great way to share with other developers who use Corel Website Creator X6. See Exporting a Site.
When you insert a template, follow these guidelines:
Before you insert the template, select the location in Site view where you want to add it. The inserted site, page, or section becomes a child of the selected page. You can move the pages once they are inserted.
All inserted pages take on the SiteStyle of the current site. For example, if several developers separately create parts of a site, export their work as templates, and insert the templates into a single master site for publishing, the master site’s SiteStyle ensures that the compiled site has a consistent look and feel. If you save the site as a template, the SiteStyle is saved as well. See Using SiteStyles
When Corel Website Creator X6 inserts a template, if the MasterBorder names duplicate those already in the site, it prefixes the template’s MasterBorders with Inserted and adds them to the current site’s library of MasterBorders. You can rename, edit, or delete these extra MasterBorders. See Working with MasterBorders.
Every template begins with a single root page, which is helpful if you are adding the template to your site. However, if you want the root page of your template to be the Home page of your site, you must create a new site based on the template, rather than inserting it.
To insert a template:
In Site view, right-click the page under which you want to insert the template. This page becomes the parent of the inserted page or pages.
Select Insert Template from the shortcut menu.
The Insert Template dialog appears.
Navigate to the template you want to insert and select the TemplateName.zip file.
Click Open.
Corel Website Creator X6 inserts the template under the page you selected. The page data is added to the .nod file and the assets are added to the \Assets folder within the site folder. The original template is still available.
