When you use the Web-to-Host Wizard to create a launch page, the Wizard actually creates a new launch page folder that contains
several files. The Wizard uses the files located in the Template folder as a template for creating the new pages.
The benefit to this is that you can customize the template so that all launch pages created by the Wizard will have the customized
look.
For example, you can use this feature to include your company logo on all of the launch pages.
It is not necessary to have a lot of experience with HTML coding to do this.
Configuration method: Manual configuration
Feature scope: Site-level feature
|
1. |
On the web server, navigate to the desired site folder that you created with the Web-to-Host Wizard. |
|
2. |
Locate the \template folder. |
|
3. |
The launch_x.htm and launch_j.htm files are the templates for all the web pages that are created by the Web-to-Host Wizard. |
|
4. |
Make a copy of the launch_x.htm page just in case you make a mistake and have to go back to the original file. |
|
5. |
Open the launch_x.htm page in Notepad. In the following code, the blue text represents the code that places the BlueZone logo on the launch_x.htm page. <tr>
<td width="25"> </td>
<td><a href="http://www.bluezonesoftware.com" target="_blank">
<img src="../images/bz_logo_90.png" width="90" height="107" border="0"
alt="BlueZone Software"></a></td>
</tr> |
|
6. |
Replace www.bluezonesoftware.com with your company's URL. |
|
7. |
Replace bz_logo_90.png with the name of your graphic file. |
|
8. |
Place a copy of graphic file in the \images folder. This is where this page expects to find it. |
|
9. |
If you know the exact height and width of your graphic in pixels, replace the height and width values with the correct values.
If you don't know the exact height and width, delete the width="90" and height="107" altogether since they are not mandatory in HTML. |
|
10. |
Replace BlueZone Software with your company name. |
|
11. |
Save and close the file. |
|
12. |
Create a new launch folder with one session and launch the page. |
|
13. |
Check to see that the launch page looks as you expected. |
|
14. |
If you have Netscape users, or if you use any other non-ActiveX supported browsers, also modify the launch_j.htm page. You can use copy and paste to do this. |
Note
The size of your logo graphic does not have to match the BlueZone logo exactly. The HTML table stretches to conform to the
size of your graphic file. It is good practice, but not mandatory, to specify the height and width of the graphic in the
HTML code.
