where the files and folders go

The template package contains three folders which each contain subfolders and/or files.

• template-assets
  • 07
• template-assets-custom
  • 07
• Templates
  • subsite_home_07.dwt
  • subsite_content_07.dwt
  • internal_07.dwt

Each server (eg: domain or subdomain) requires only one copy of the template-assets folder. The templates reference common files in that folder and in most cases, this should not change.

Most servers will already have a template-assets folder. In this case, just copy the folder 07 into the existing template-assets folder. The existing template-assets folder should not be replaced as other pages on the site may depend on it.

The files in the template-assets folder should never be altered. If a site needs to use customised versions of these includes then copies should be made in the template-assets-custom folder and the site should reference those instead. This way, when the template files are upgraded or changed, customisations will not be lost.

Each site on the server requires its own template-assets-custom folder. This folder should be at the root of the individual site. eg: /subsite/template-assets-custom/

If your site is the root site on the server, then this folder also goes at the root. eg: /template-assets-custom/

If your site already has a template-assets-custom folder, then just copy the subfolder 07 inside the template-assets-custom folder. The existing template-assets-custom folder should not be replaced.

The Templates folder contains the Dreamweaver template files. It is only necessary to have a Templates folder at the ‘Local files’ location and it does not need to be copied to the server.

If your local site already has a ‘Templates’ folder, then just copy the three files within. The existing Templates folder should not be replaced.

If you need to share template files with others and have permission to write to the /Templates folder, then you can copy them to the server.
