Template Properties

Below is a list of the available properties in the DePauw Template. To edit the template properties, open the page you'd like to change in Dreamweaver. Select the "Modify" menu from the menu bar across the top then choose "Template Properties".

Banner

You can turn the banner display off by setting the Banner template property to False. This option is useful for forms and pages with large amount of content. (This property overrides all other Banner Properties.) Example of Banner = "false"

BannerMinimized

The Default banner size is 770 pixels wide by 225 pixels tall. On some pages, you may prefer a shorter banner to allow more vertical space for content. To shorten the banner to 125 pixels, set the The BannerMinimized option to True. Example of BannerMinimized ="true"

Banner_Style

Value	Description	Picture
1	Creates a border around the image without rounded corners Example Page
2	Creates rounded corners in the bottom left and top right. Example Page * Default Value for new page created from template
3	Creates rounded corners in the top left and bottom right Example Page

Sidebar

The sidebar contains two areas for text that you supply, one above the widgets and one below the widgets. Example Sidebar = "true" (Widgets pull in standard content such as events, news, etc. -- See below.)

Sidebar_Calendar

The calendar of events can be set to the specific Organizational ID that is used to place your events on the University event calendar. This value is set in the navigation include. Example Sidebar_Calendar = "true"

Sidebar_News

You may either select one of the predefined categories (Alumni, Athletics, Awards, Events, Faculty, Misc. or Music) or allow the default setting (all categories) for this content area. See Example Sidebar_News = "true".

Sidebar_List

Setting this option to "True" results in a list area for deadlines, announcements, events or any other information that lends itself to a list format. Example Sidebar_List = "true"

WideLayout

The DePauw template incorporates a flexible page layout. This allows computers with larger screens/monitors to display a wide content area (770 pixels). If this Template Property is set to false, the page will always display in a narrow/small monitor layout. Example WideLayout = "false"
