# Main Templates
/admin/template/TEMPLATE_NAME/FILENAME
Tags in these templates will work in any of the public templates as well as when placed in the WYSIWYG page editor generated pages.
1. main.html- This is the template for the main site. This template file is THE design for the majority of your website. The background, header images, CSS styling, static content etc are all defined in this file. It is simply a html file with the tag {content} to specify where Open-Realty® should place it's information. When viewing your site through Open-Realty® the {content} tag is replaced with information defined by the sub template for the action you are trying to perform. For example when viewing listings, the content area will be replaced with content using the listing_detail_default.html file, or from other template files or direct content from Open-Realty® depending on which page of the site you are viewing.
2. popup.html - This is the template used on popup windows such as the Calculators and Agent Contact Forms. The template contains <head>/<body>/<html> tags but is otherwise a blank template. Use this template by setting '&popup' in the URL.
3. blank.html - This is a completely blank and empty template file used for popup windows by setting '&popup=blank'
4. printer_friendly.html - This is the template used when the user selects the Printer Friendly Page from listing details.
Optional
5. page#_main.html - This is an optional main template that is based on the page ID# of pages created in the Page Editor. If you wish to have a unique template design for a specific page such as having featured listings in a section of the template on the home page (Page 1) but not the rest of the site then you can create a page#_main.html template with the differences you want.
Open-Realty will use the page#_main.html template for pages where the alternate main template exists, if there is no specific main template for that page then it will default to the main.html template for that page. (# would be the page number you want to use this main template for)
You can specify a PageID=# variable in the URL for any page on your site in order to specify an alternate main template file for the page you are displaying. The PageID=# variable is specified automatically for all page editor created pages, you can create a custom PageID for any other page you wish to have an alternate main template layout for.
6. searchresults_main.html - This is an optional main template that allows you to load a unique template for your search results page. This can be used to define custom metatags for your search result pages or to simply give your search results a different look from the main template.
7. maintenance_mode.html - This template is used and displayed to site visitors when OR is set to be in "Maintenance Mode". (See the Maintenance Mode option in the Site Config General tab)
8. 500.shtml - This is not a file that is used or required by Open-Realty. This optional file is for creating a custom 500 Internal Server error message page that your web server will display to the site visitor if there is a database or other internal server error instead of displaying the SQL or other errors on the page. This is used for security and aesthetic purposes.
