Can I edit the osc template in Front Page or Go Live?

If so, how do I go about that?


Confusion reigns.

That sums it up pretty well for me too. 

You should be able to edit the files in front page I think.
Just make sure to back one up first in it's original form in case something gets screwed up.

In my html editor I just had to open "all" files to see the .php files.
When done editing you can then simply SAVE then up load the file you edited to the proper
directory on the server.

For example if you edit templates/aabox/main_page.tpl.php

Just make sure you upload the new one to that place "templates/aabox/main_page.tpl.php"
on the server. Refresh your live site and see the changes you just made.

Xp, um, still confused.

To get it in to FP, how do I do that? Normally, to bring an existing site into FP, I just do a view source and then a C&P onto a blank page.

I don't think doing that would allow editing of all the files re oscmax. Am I wrong?

no  you can't do it that way. You need to FTP the .php files to your computer to play with them and then FTP them back UP to the server.

Meaning Yor are correct.  ;D

Thanks Xp.

Now if I only knew how to FTP.

Try filezilla. (Like I know what I'm talking about  )

You need and FTP program to do that, or you can maunully upload the files via the TT admin File manager. But then setting the permisions get tricky.

Don't Front Page have and FTP progtram with it? I thought it did.

You can also view the php files from the TT file manager then copy /paste into your editor to change stuff.
