How to create template from existing website page

Hi,

I already had a website and all pages are properly developed but they are not using Kentico CMS concept. I wish to create some pages in Kentico CMS and use these pages with my existing website but I need the design of my Kentico pages will be same as design of my existing website page.

So how I could do so to use my existing web page as a template page of Kentico CMS web page and just add some editable section in that.

Please provide me support on this point.

Thank You,
Anuj

This task is described in our Developer's guide. Please find a link to it below. http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/index.html?creating_a_new_aspx_page_template.htm Best Regards, Pavel Knotek

RE:How to create template from existing website page

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for reply. I have done in this format and it is really working. I am able to move to pages directly But there is one problem when I am going to CMS Desk and clicking on any tree node then it is hanging forever and not showing anything.

In Status bar it is showing:

Waiting for http://localhost/kenticocms/cmsdesk/content/editpage.aspx?nodeid=1

This is happening with all tree nodes. It is just changing nodeid in address but it is truing to redirect but none page is opened.

It is showing KenticoCMS website properly with applied template and showing all pages properly.

Please provide me a solution that why it is happening.

Thanks a lot,
Anuj

RE:How to create template from existing website page

Hi Pavel,

I have solved the above problem by myself.
But there is still one problem left, When I was using default templates and design of Corporate Site or any other type then it was showing design tab and I was able to move controls from one location to another and I was able to properly make changes in design of page.

But after creating our own template I am not able to do so.

I am creating a Blank ASPX Website but How could I make changes in the design of pages from just dragging and dropping of controls.

Thanks,
Anuj

RE:How to create template from existing website page

Hi Anuj,

The Design tab is visible only if you are using Portal engine. Since you are using ASPX templates, you may design the template in for example Visual Studio. You may find more details about these two approaches in our Developer's guide.
