Content Templates

Content templates are blocks of static HTML markup or wiki syntax and other text that can be applied as starting contents when creating such tiki objects as:

• Wiki pages (HTML format or wiki format)
• Articles or submissions
• Newletters

To create or edit a content template, follow the "content templates" link from the admin section of the application menu. The screen will be as follows:

The process is to simply edit the template and save it; you can preview the template if you want.



Once a template is created, editors will be able to apply it when editing an object of the type that the template has been specified for. If a content template is applied to a wiki page that already has content, the content template will be pasted in at the beginning of the page but won't overwrite the existing content.

The content template that is applied to any particular page is a copy of the original. Once applied, the content template becomes part of the page and can be edited as freely as the rest of the wiki page. If the content template original changes, the pages that use the old version of the template are not changed.
