Page templates

If we take the blogs/ pipeline as an example, it starts with generating the blogssidmall.xml page that you find in the sidmallar folder.

<page>

<lang>en</lang>

  <layout>../css2col</layout>

      <layout>../streams</layout>

         <layout>../form</layout>

  <headbox>

    <headbox>head</headbox>

  </headbox>

  <headbox2>

    <headbox2>head</headbox2>

  </headbox2>

  <headbox3>

    <headbox3>head</headbox3>

  </headbox3>

  <header>

    <mainmenubar type="mainmenu">head</mainmenubar>

  </header>

  <col1>

  <body type="diskutera">blogs</body>

  <body type="stream">blogoverview</body>

  </col1>

</page>

First, the <lang> tag will create a page with an ”en” language tag.
Then, the system will associate six css files with the page
1. css2col.css, css2col_print.css
2. streams.css, streams_print.css
3. form.css, form_print.css
After that, the system will create a <div> tag for each remaining element:
1. <headbox> results in <div id=”headbox”>. Encountering <headbox>head</headbox>, the system will look in the head.htm file in the word folder, and look for a paragraph using the headbox style
2. As you might have guessed, the system then creates <div id=”headbox2”>, and picks the paragraph using the headbox2 style from head.htm
3. <mainmenubar type="mainmenu"> is treated slightly different. This item creates the main menu bar, and places a “../” before each url, to make sure you get the correct page when clicking.
4. <body type="diskutera">blogs</body> This creates the first part of the page contents, with the blog creation form, defined in blogs_admin.xml
5. <body type="stream">blogoverview</body> When the blogs have been created, it will display an overview of all the blogs, using the blogoverview.xml stream pattern.
