HTML Templates

The front end can be customized on customers demand. All HTML files can contain tags that are parsed before displaying the web page.

These tags are described in the following chapters. The tags have to use the following syntax:

<%TagName%>

<%TagName:Parameter:Value%>

<%Set Value=Property%>

The html files containing the tags have to be in the webdir folder specified in the registry. Default location for that folder is the html subfolder in the installation directory.

The customized files should be placed in the custom subfolder. So the original html files are not overwritten. The webserver uses files in the custom folder first!

The provided samples in the html folder consist of a html and a html data file. The html file includes a ajax java script that loads the content of its data file every 2 seconds. The name of the data file is set automatically. So it is very easy to copy these files to the custom folder and modify them. There is no need to change the data file name in the calling html file.

Further it is possible to use server side includes and iterated tags. So it is very simple to edit pages and create one page for multiple users or groups. Please find further information in the following chapters.

Using custom pages and html tags it is possible to arrange all elements on customers demand.
