Hi, can anyone direct me to some info on customizing the templates? I'm opening the .html files in Dreamweaver but can't make it work from that. I guess I need to edit some other file, but I'm not sure which!

Any advice appreciated,

Thanks
Cave

What specifically are you trying to do?

I would expect any HTML editor to work... I'm using GoLive without a problem.

Did you update the paths in ttxcfg.cgi after moving TTX to your new location?   Undecided

The WYSISWYG html editors expect complete html page and often try to fix "errors".

The TTX template is not a complete page (the complete page is being produced by concatenation of header.shtml, the template and footer.shtml).

The TTX template may contain a lot of html "errors", because the macros are not replaced yet with html code.

Excellent point.

Anyone using an HTML editor should know this and be able to ignore the errors.  You should also be able to disable the auto-correction features.  Haven't had problems with GoLive or Dreamweaver in this regard.
