In the previous topic, you have learned how to create a new page with its own, page-specific page template. This type of page template is called an ad-hoc page template.

 

Now, you will learn how to convert the page-specific page template into a re-usable page template that can be used for several pages with the same layout, but different content.

 

Go to CMS Desk -> Content. Click the new About Us page and switch to the Properties tab. Click Template. Now you can see a dialog like this:

 

 

Click Save as new template and enter the following values:

 

•Template display name: Left image with text on the right

•Template code name: LeftImageWithRightText

•Template category: Templates with editable regions

•Template description: Two columns with image on the left and text on the right.

 

 

Click OK and click  Save above the Template dialog. The dialog now looks like this:

 

 

You have just created a new re-usable page template. If you try to create a new page now, the page template will be offered and you can create another page with the same structure as the About Us page.
