Template Creation Guidelines

Creating custom templates for H-Blog-Manager-Script allows developers to define unique designs and structures for their websites and emails. Follow these guidelines to ensure a seamless integration of your templates with the application.

Template Files

  1. Website Templates:

    • Edit .tpl files located in the "tmpl" folder at the root directory.
    • Use meaningful names for your template files.

  2. Email Templates:

    • Edit email_template.html located in the root folder.
    • Organize your email template with clear sections.

Elements and Classes

  1. IDs and Classes:

    • Do not modify predefined IDs and classes in the templates.
    • Consistent use of IDs and classes ensures proper functionality.

  2. Tags and Elements:

    • Use standard HTML tags for elements.
    • Ensure all essential elements (headings, paragraphs, images, etc.) are appropriately styled.

  3. Template Parse Comments:

    • Include template parse comments where necessary for data rendering.
    • These comments guide the application in dynamically populating content.

Media Integration

  1. Images:

    • Store custom images in the "media" folder.
    • Use relative paths for image sources in your templates.

  2. Videos:

    • Embed videos using standard HTML video tags.
    • Host videos externally or use local storage as needed.

Styling and Formatting

  1. CSS Styles:

    • Style your templates using CSS within <style> tags or link external stylesheets.
    • Ensure styles do not conflict with the application's default styles.

  2. Responsive Design:

    • Aim for responsive design to ensure compatibility with various devices.

Testing

  1. Browser Compatibility:

    • Test your templates across different browsers to ensure consistent rendering.

  2. Data Rendering:

    • Test template rendering with actual data to identify and address any parsing issues.

  3. Mobile Responsiveness:

    • Verify mobile responsiveness for a seamless user experience.
