Previewing Templates

SiteBuilder Templates SDK includes a program that enables you to preview a created template as it is displayed on a site.

To preview a template

1. In the Windows Explorer, right-click a template directory and select the SiteBuilder Template Preview option.

   You will be prompted for selecting a template theme, menu style, and header.

   Note: Optionally, you can open this window with the following command line: Preview.exe [Full path to template root directory]

2. Click Preview.

   The system will launch the check of the template structure. The results of the check are displayed in the Template Preview window. If the structure is correct, the preview of the template will open in the Internet Explorer window.

   Note: This check does not require the template to contain preview images of theme, menus, and headers. Also, at this stage you do not have to provide a description of the template in the info.xml file. You can do it later on, when the template is completely ready.
