Consistent design and navigation names (Beta 19)

I am building a website with my own design, and is getting very frustrated with the fact that I can't set ONE set of page settings that all pages will obey. Here I am talking about Page width, background image that general stuff. Layout is easy enough, but if I change one of the pages settings I have to change the rest. Like the Browser background, or page width. They should be the same for all pages. Also items in the header and footer should automatically be the same for all pages in a website. So they contain the same items on all pages. It's fine that it is possible to set different menu name and file names for navigation, but I would like it to be the same as defualt, and if needed check a checkbox and you can make different names for files and navigation. |

At some point in the future EasyWeb will have the ability to create a master page. Right now it's just a question of designing one "template" page with all the page settings, header, footer, heading and paragraph styles and then duplicating it as necessary. In general, the page file name should be different from the name in the navigation menu. Page file names should be lower case, have no special characters and have hyphens between the words rather than spaces in just the same way as image and other file names. Bad file names are a common cause of sites not working properly in the browser. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Bad file names are a common cause of sites not working properly in the browser. Fully aware of the problem, but it would be nice if the app could handle filenames automatically based on the name you specify for navigation, sorting out bad items for names, and with a checkbox give me the option to change the filename for whatever reason people could think of. Personally I don't really need it ;) |

EasyWeb already does handle page file names for those with not a clue. If I enter "Bad File Name" in the left column, EasyWeb will convert it to "bad-file-name.html" in the published version. Most beginners don't seem to realise that they are missing out on SEO opportunities with page names. If you use different names in the file name, navigation and h2 heading it allows you to get a lot more keywords in. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Quote: Also items in the header and footer should automatically be the same for all pages in a website. So they contain the same items on all pages. Asked this a little while ago, and still feel it is unanswered. My request is that content in the Header and Footer automaticlly gets copied to the rest of the pages on my site. Also it would be great if specific settings (like page width and Header and Footer size) would also be the same for all pages (except mobile pages). I know how to create a "template" page, however I often need to change a few things as i build my website due to changes i might make, because it wasn't what I was looking for or whatever, and needing to change several pages settings seriously increase the chance of unwanted designs across my website. |

The feature has been mentioned in several topics. We just need to be patient. The Developers can't implement everything at once! ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
