I've made the changes I'd like (I'll switch out the menu links later) for my clients site on their temp homepage: [url]https://www.shopstoneage.com/index.php[/url]

I'd like to use that page as the template for the other pages. Is there a simple way to determine which divs to switch out? I see the div mainWrapper is used twice and started getting a bit confused.

So I'd want to keep everything on top down to and including the offers bar and the blue footer and copyright bar, but for the main body have the left column items Our Products, Your Cart, Your Account, etc. like on the About page [url]https://www.shopstoneage.com/about.php[/url]
Thanks,
Deborah

Hi Deborah

The simplest way is take the home page and save it under a new name for each of the pages you need on the store. For the store pages it would be the same process as if you were using the Generic Version really https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/design.asp

Hi Andy,
That's what I tried to do, but somehow the left column isn't displaying.

For example, I'm trying to start off with the About page. I'm starting with this page: [url]https://www.shopstoneage.com/index.php[/url]

Then I'm pasting the following code in between the header and footer:
[code] <div class="midWrapper">
<div class="container">
<div class="row clearfix">
<div class="col-9 mid_right">
<div class="PL_box">
<div class="product_listing">
<!-- #BeginEditable "body" -->

Here is the result: [url]https://www.shopstoneage.com/_template.php[/url] It's not displaying the entire left column with Our Products, Your Cart, Your Account, etc. that display on the original page of the template: [url]http://www.wpect.com/prem-natura/about.php[/url] I even edited main.dwt to match the changes I made.

I'm clearly missing something....

You need to remove this from _template.php

<style>
.left_nav_wrap { display:none; }
.col-9 { width: 100%; }
</style>

As it removes the side column.

OMG, it's so obvious now. I kept looking at all of the code beneath the header section and working from there....
Thanks for showing me what I was missing!

Is this line necessary on the page?
[code]<!-- #BeginTemplate "/Templates/main.dwt" --><!-- DW6 -->[/code]

If you are making global changes via the dwt file, it is but otherwise not.

Hi Andy,
Excuse my ignorance, but do you have documentation where I could learn more about using the Dynamic Web Template in conjunction with the responsive store? Once I'm done tweaking the header section, menu, left column and footer, I would like those elements repeated on all pages. It sounds like that's what the Dynamic Web Template would do, correct? But if I use it, I'm not sure how to create the other pages. Thanks.

If you are using Dreamweaver we have some help here https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/using-dreamweaver.asp - if it's Expression Web the file is https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/using-expression-web.asp

Hi Andy,
I code in Notepad. Would this still work and is it something you would recommend, or is renaming a template page to create the other store pages the better option?

If you code in Notepad you wouldn't be able to use the dwt function so any mention of it in the files can be removed.

Thanks for the fast response! Now I can focus on finishing up the site tweaks and getting this baby finished :)
