Hi there,
I am trying to create my own templates. I follow all the instructions, but when I need to open the template that I just created they show up as wwb file, and I cannot open them.
Any suggestions

What are you building them in - BlueVoda?

alas · #4 03-02-2007, 11:12 AM

Hi, yes I am using blue voda.

If you are saving it as a template it should automatically be saved as a bvp file. Please tell us the steps you are taking to create and save the template.

Sounds as though you are designing a template in Word? are you ...

You would either need to design your template in a photo program and save as a .jpeg or .gif or design your template in the blue voda web builder by inserting shapes, images, lines, etc. ...

Hope this helps ...

alas · #7 03-04-2007, 05:36 PM

Hi, I did everything, and when I open the file shows that is wwb and not bvp. Also I not using word, I have created the template using shapes of Bluevoda.
Any other suggestions?
Ciao

Hi there, I have created 8 different pages with shapes, they all look the same, but each page has the same size shape but with different colors.
When I publish them, all the shapes in all the pages they take the color of the last one published.
How can I fix this one?
I am using bluevoda.

The tutorial seemed easy enough but not so when I read all the comments below it.
Hopefully I won't have all the issues. We'll see.

aconstas1 · #12 03-17-2007, 11:00 PM

Didnt i read a quote in an SEO book that discouraged the use of templates? I was just curious. Because of that, i kind of made my own templates with shapes and never saved them as templates. Is there any advantage to this?

Maxamed · #13 03-22-2007, 06:48 PM

Wow nice

stew1111 · #14 05-17-2007, 04:54 PM

I am intested in the answer to this question - does it affect SEO when you save templates?

Karen Mac · #15 05-17-2007, 05:19 PM

Well that would be a new one! The SE dont READ images or shapes pers se, but do read the alt tags. How templates would affect your SEO would be OLD as most catalogue driven software used templates and dynamic pages. SE are reading dynamic pages more and more and its becoming less and less of an issue, as long as you keep the strings to one or two parameters.

Hi,
Sorry to disturb you Im kind of new in all this. I have the same problem with the templates. Can you please tell me how did you fix it?
Thank you very much

LadyEye · #17 06-06-2007, 05:38 PM

Okay, so you saved your page as "template"

Then you go into your BV web builder and go to FILE, "New Page From Template" ... the folder will open and show the templates you have made, you choose the one, then a popup box will pop up and file name will be empty, you must name that file, then it will open for you to use as your template, then when you add your content, you name and save and publish your page as you like ....

gerrit · #18 02-17-2008, 11:16 PM

I cannot find the icon to add a navigation bar in the template. Has this been moved place since the instruction video was recorded?

Collectors-info · #19 02-18-2008, 07:48 AM

Hi, it might be the bar wants stretching. pop your pointer over the 4 dots at the end of a menu bar, left click/hold & enlarge/stretch.

CarbonTerry · #20 05-09-2008, 06:36 PM

Using the same exact shape (copying from one page to another or merely changing the page name) which has the same name in two (or more) templates can cause a problem if you change the color but do not change the name.
In my experieince all templates will change colors to match the last changes made.

Hello the video for "Re: Creating your own templates with shapes" isn't working. What should i do?

Regards Jabir.

rdbc10 · #22 05-24-2008, 07:41 AM

Hi
I cant see the video tutorial, is there a verbal explanation as well?

karenwms63 · #23 05-24-2008, 12:23 PM

without the tutorial, the best way is to experiment with the shapes tool. On the top nav bar of blue voda, if you mouse over the icons, you will find the shapes icon. ss the tut is not there, i am sure this is only temporary due to upgrade of blue voda.

doriyou · #24 05-25-2008, 04:37 AM

I could not open this tutorial video

GeorgieC · #27 06-23-2008, 12:01 PM

Not sure if anyone can help me. i am new at this but am not too bad with computer stuff. i have been gently working my way through your tutorials which are very good and simply explained in bite sized pieces.

However one problem the tutorial for creating your own templates does not run on my computer. - all the others are fine. is there a reason for this or is there something i can read.

I am pretty sure I am OK with doing this myuself but just want to make sure before I start doing each individual page.

Thanks for the help - i hope

CarbonTerry · #28 06-23-2008, 05:34 PM

There does seem to be a glitch with the tutorial.

LadyEye · #29 06-23-2008, 05:43 PM

Here is a great thread with lots of ideas from contributing forum members .. you will see the ease of use with shapes and their possibilities ..

You will need a Vodahost account to publish a website using Bluevoda.

CarbonTerry · #34 07-25-2008, 09:58 PM

You will also have to purchase the domain name if available.

How do you create your own templates. The video is not playing for me!

How do you upload CSS coded Templates?

Karen Mac · #39 01-21-2009, 11:36 PM

You are not a vodahost customer, youve made serveral posts either requesting assistance or trying to use the software to work on your own host. I suggest you contact your hosting company and ask these questions.

Hello vodahost team,

Thanks

Collectors-info · #41 05-08-2009, 05:05 PM

If its BV your using? you cant. It will only work on a VH server.

bmonot · #42 05-29-2009, 07:21 PM

Hi

I have created a template using lots of square shapes. When I publish my page each square loads individually causing the page to load very slowly. Is there a way of grouping all the elements of a template together so they load as one image rather than each element on their own? I have tried grouping the elements together but it doesn't help.

Thanks
Beth

CarbonTerry · #43 05-29-2009, 09:49 PM

This may help you.

Elshem · #44 06-05-2009, 04:16 PM

I m still very new to the whole concept of building a site, and I m still going through the tutorials.. Anyway I just want to know if the ready-made-templates available on the vodahost site, would work perfectly without glitches? since a few folks seem to have had problems with the self-designed-templates.. I ve gone through the ready-made-templates, and I believe they would be very sufficient for any of the pages i might want to build..
cheers folks
