My web has two main streams (subwebs?)
Before changing my web to use Dynamic Web Templates I was simply
applying one of two different themes to the page.
The main differences between each theme is the background colour at the
left edge of the page (soft yellow v soft blue). I have made some
other small changes to each theme but they are not important. I intend
to eventually have slightly different colour variation in the
navigation buttons between each theme. But for now that also is not
important.
The navigation structure is the same for both.
Two main questions
Q1. Is there a way to apply the different themes to the relevant pages
without having to create two separate DWT and applying them as required
to each page?
I thought I could nest the theme html but that doesn't seem to work. I
had the default theme on one dwt and added the other them in a page
specific area of the dwt. What I discovered was that regardless of
which instruction came first, although I could get the non default
theme to display in Design and Preview, once I saved and closed the
page the default theme is what stuck when I reopen the page.
Is it possible to cascade DWT and/or themes?
Q2. When doing this I also noticed that I had both a html tag line for
the theme and also one for a linked style sheet. But after save,
close, open the theme tag line would disappear but the link tag
remained.
Now, I am not sure of the main difference between using theme v style
sheet, but is it odd that this is happening?
I thought that editing the theme created/modified a style sheet for the
theme but the theme still handles things like button images. So I am
confused even more so to discover that in the theme folder there are
several styly sheets. ie. my theme is called 'fspace'. The
'_themes\fspace' folder has seven cascading style sheets called 'color,
color1, fspa1011, fspa1111, graph0, graph1,theme' all with extension
css.
Having asked all that specific stuff, am I approaching this the wrong
way? Perhaps!
Should I be using subwebs? I think not?
Can you point me to some resource that more directly discusses these
topics?
Assistance has been great and is greatly appreciated.
Cheers and Thanks.
