When a user clicks an ACEweb link, the system generates the content of the web page using the appropriate HTML template. For instance, when a user clicks a Course Code link on the Course Listing page:
the system uses the XCourseStatus.htm template to generate the Course Information page contents for the selected course:
HTML templates use various elements to generate the web page:
- Template tags - insert data from Student Manager or headers/footers from other templates.
- INI Settings - table contents (e.g. code, begins, ends, meets, fee) and table format (e.g. colors, cell padding, borders) are generated using the corresponding ACEweb.ini setting.
- Text messages - provide information to the user.
- HTML tags - format the text and data.
Most templates can be edited, as long as you obey the editing rules.
