I have searched the forums to try and figure this out, but it isn't working for me. It's a very beginner type question.
I want to create templates to generate pages other than the standard pages that LinksSQL generates (links, categories, etc.). I am basically using the same look on all my pages.
From what I've gleaned from reading multiple forum posts, I should create and save a new template and then use page.cgi to call it.
My questions:
- Does it have to be called using page.cgi, or can it be generated at build time and used as a static page?
- If it has to be dynamic, what is the syntax to call it. I found this in another post: page.cgi?p=customtemplate&ID=<%ID%>&t=customtemplateset
- I think I understand everything except the ID. Where is that picked up from?
If I'm totally out to lunch, please tell me and if possible point me at something I can read that speaks near my level of understanding. Thanks in advance for being patient.
