What's the URL for the signup page? Also, can I integrate it into an existing HTML page?

Hey KMSD,

I was hoping to insert it in the middle of the page as well. I know you can because I've seen other hosts do it. Just don't know how.

Ah yes you can, just add your header and footer files (your website html) and the signup will be inserted in the middle of this. Easist thing is to create your page you want the signup in, and where you want the signup to show copy every bit of code above it and paste into the header and then all below it and paste into the footer.

I'm sure there are plenty of people on this board that will be willing to help you do this if you provide the html code and version your running.

Thanks,
kmsd

Look in the signup_header.tpl and signup_footer.tpl

login_header.tpl and login_footer.tpl

Just insert your header info in there.

I've done it, as well as many others:

<img src='http://www.txohosting.com/screenshots/signup1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

<img src='http://www.txohosting.com/screenshots/signup2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Hope that helps..

The .tpl files are in the /template/Raleigh directory.

Also, seems fairly easy, but I'd like the entire page in a border, like yours. ANy suggestions on how to accomplish this part. Seems a bit confusing, since page is essentialy split into three parts.


Thanks in advance,

Chris

The two selections on the initial screen are client types. This is a function within ClientExec. I added a client type that allows those that do not have a domain to pay for it with the hosting and I register the domain for them. I add the cost of the registration in the setup fee, which is a one-time fee.

Essentially, I created one table, with multiple tables within that table. You just create your normal page, and when you get to the point you want your CE login or signup info, you apply this or similar:

<tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="top" height="500" align="center" width="770" valign="top">

Then your login.tpl or signup.tpl fills in the rest because it includes your header.tpl.

Then in your footer.tpl, you begin that with closing that <td> by using:

</td></tr>

I hope this is correct. I use FrontPage for mine, and to edit it, you have to right-click the file and click Open With, FrontPage.

Hope this helps.

I can email you my code so you can get an idea of how it's set up. I just looked at mine and I'm not sure how it even works.. lol

As mentioned before, you're opening the table or tr in the header, and closing it in the footer. I'm not very good with this either, but Jacynthe really helped me out with this. She explained a lot in another thread in the Skin/Templates section. It's a pretty long thread.

thanks

I have to say . . . it's quite surprising to see one host helping another as you are helping me. Quite impressive, really. I can tell you what . . . from now on, any customer that I cannot help (for whatever reason) is going to be sent to TXO. You're the kind of host I'd want them to have. Again, thanks for the help.


What a great forum!

The way I see it, as I've been helped more than my share, and it's only right to help back.

I can email my code to get an idea of how it's setup.

It's kinda tricky if you're not familiar with HTMl, but not rocket science. But it does get frustrating.

I'm somewhat familiar with HTML, but it still gets to me. If you need any help, I'll be glad to try and set the templates up for you. Or at least get your layout set up.

One thing to remember is to save a copy of your template directory before upgrading. I once forgot and had to re-do my templates.. lol

Good philosophy. I live by that philosophy. Wish more people shared our views.


I'm definitely a visual learner, so I know the code will give me the direction I need.
I also think it would help because your site is very similar to ours (we also have a visible table surrounding each page).

Thanks so much!

Hate to dig up an old thread, but I am trying to itegrate the signup page like TXO has it. But I'm confused with the header and footer. Here is a screenshot of the page: http://www.8degrees.com/screenshot.gif I want the signup page to appear in.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

The code up top that ends with your header image will be placed into the login/signup_header.tpl. Everything below "Signup Here" will be placed into the login/signup_footer.tpl.

Kinda hard to say without your html, but that is the easiest way to explain.

I would end your header table after the image, then open a new table like:

<table><tr><td valign=top>

in the header file.

Then in the footer file make sure you close the above table like:

</td></tr></table>
<table>footer information here</table>

Also, make sure all info in the .tpl files stays in there due to the javascripts.

Hope this helps.
