Import Page Templates ​

The skin package includes exported page templates for every demo page (85 in total). Importing them recreates our live demo pages on your own site. The example below recreates the Home Version 3 page.

The templates are located in the skin install folder:

Portals/_default/Skins/20073-UnlimitedColorsPack-055/pagetemplate/

Before you start

Page templates cannot import image files. Besides the template itself, upload the images referenced by the template (you can grab them from the matching demo page or use your own) to the site root (for example Portals/0/).

  1. Go to Manage → Site Assets.

TIP

Page templates can only be imported when creating a new page; delete or rename an existing page with the same name first.

Skin file for each home version ​

After importing a home page template, make sure the page uses the matching HomePage skin layout:

Home templateSkin file
Home (Version 1)HomePage.ascx
HomeVersion2 ~ HomeVersion41HomePage02.ascx ~ HomePage41.ascx
One Page versions (11 / 19 / 21 / 24 / 34)The matching HomePageNN.ascx, used together with anchor areas — see One Page
ComingSoonComingSoon.ascx

The complete block-by-block code for every home version is in the Home Codes chapter.
