To summarize, this software operates off of “dynamic” (program generated) “pages” that are prepopulated with data gathered from the database, based upon settings you have made within the software's admin. You get this information to display on the front side of your site by providing html “templates” containing the {body_html} tag. Furthermore, you can enhance your site, by inserting various “module” tags within your “templates”, which call up and display a variety of attributes and features contained in the program.

A firm understanding of how the Pages, Templates, and Modules of the program interrelate will allow you to produce a refined web site to increase your potential of earning a profitable return on your investment. Please look over the diagrams below to help your understanding of this relationship pictorially within the pages of your site.

The FRONT PAGE TEMPLATE, for example, is essentially the vehicle that is used to display the FRONT PAGE of your site. The front page of your site is defined as the following page:

www.example.com/index.php

This page must have a template assigned to it in order to be displayed within a browser window. The template is made up of a combination of html and whichever modules you want to display within the template.

The {body_html} tag is generally used on the SUBPAGES of the software, such as the Search Page, Login Page, Registration Page and Browsing Categories Pages. This {body_html} tag pulls from the database and displays the appropriate information relative to the page you are viewing. For example, on the Browsing Categories Pages, we have assigned basic_page.tpl template to be used. The template itself uses many of the same modules used in the FRONT PAGE TEMPLATE, except the main page content (main body content) is being displayed though the {body_html} tag.

This same {body_html} tag principle applies to virtually all templates assigned to the software's pages.
