Managing Page Templates

Page Templates integrate with the JXtended WYSIWYG Editor to give you the ability to save "templates" or "clips" for your content pages.  When the JXtended WYSIWYG Editor is your default editor, any editor field will be able to access your saved Page Templates.

Selecting Page Templates from the Linkbar will present you with a list of the templates defined in Magazine.

Toolbar

In conjuction with selecting one or more checkboxes in the list, the Toolbar provides the following functions:

• Publish the selected template(s).
• Unpublish the selected template(s).
• Delete/trash the selected template(s).  Please note that in order to delete permanently, you must select Trash in the State filter.
• Edit a selected template.
• Add a new template
