Todo: page for templates

As the Page template advances it can be split into two parts. First, a part that contains the features like the header, side-bar, and footer. Second, a part that contains the content that is specific to the page type, which lives in the sub-folder templates/Layout. (The Layout folder may be preceded by namespace related folders.) Using the example from [2], abbreviated. The HomePage class in HomePage.php is derived from the Page class defined in Page.php. If there is no

Inside the /app/templates folder, a simple html page named Page.ss will link by name to the “Page” page type (and yes, way too many things are called “Page”).

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, world</h1>    Todo - add $content
  </body>
</html>

Whenever things change, update the configuration by adding ?flush to the end of the URL (e.g. art.rainshowers.org/?flush).

/app/templates/Page.ss

<html>
  <head>
    ...
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      ...
    </header>
    $Layout
  </body>
</html>

/app/templates/Layout/HomePage.ss

<div>
  <!-- stuff for the title and breadcrumb -->
</div>
<div>
  <!-- main content -->
  <!-- further variables to supply content from the framework -->
</div>
