Balance chapter from PHP : Downloading a template and editing.

From the previous chapter , we came to understand how to download and save a template.

Now we are going to redesign the template as we want.

PART - 2

From Dreamweaver , Click File--> Open.

From the directory , where WAMP server is located , select the created folder (SoftDreamBuilder) .
And the folder will open , and click "default" . It will open in DreamWeaver .

When we click "default" , it will open in DreamWeaver , as given below :

You can see 3 views there namely code,split and live.
Select the "split" view, so that you can see both code and design view.

This is easy for you to understand the changes applied in design ,  as per the changes in code.
 Or , you can select "live" , then the corresponding changes can see , without taking WAMP server .


Now , we are going to redesign this Template.

Before that , just open the website template from WAMP server (Giving the summarized steps once again , for easy understanding).

• Open WAMP  , and select the folder we created (SoftDreamBuilder), and click the folder.

  --->   

Then you can see "Index of/SoftDreamBuilder" .

Why cant you see the home page ?

That is because , WAMP server will open only if there is a file named "index" (Note that , here ,the file name of the home page is"default.htm). 

At first change this "default.htm" file to "index.html" , From DreamWeaver.

We already opened the file in dreamweaver (see above).
And now save that file as index.html"

Now , follow the steps again , and open WAMP , then open our folder.

Instead of opening all the files (as given above) , this time we can see that the index file is opened , when we click our folder (from WAMP).

Lets Start ..

Downloading a template and editing 

Disclaimer Note : This is not the proper way to build a website , I am giving this TIP for a beginner only.
To know the proper method , click here

Open http://freecsstemplates.in/.
You can see a number of free templates there.
Download any template.
So many other sites are there like this .

But , I am here talking about themeforest.net . Open it.The hom.e page is like this 

Select any  HTML template xample , I selected a HTML Template SIGMA .
Download it.
(Surely you can download a RIP file , from Zippyshare etc).

The theme will look like this.

After downloading , we can see that the folder "Sigma"contains the following folders/pages.

Extract the zipped files into the www.directory of WAMP Server .

How and where to save php files ? To know , click here

That is , Save this file under the directory www , in which the WAMP server is located. It's better to create a folder under www , then save all the files under that (I created a folder named "SoftDreamBuilder" )

You can select the www directory from the location in which the wamp server is located , or from the menu as given..

Click the LOCALHOST from the above picture , and you can see all the folders under www directory.

You can see the folder created (in localhost).
Open that folder , and click the "default.htm" page. You can see the home page of the website.

Now , we are going to make this design as we want.

So , just go to the NEXT section.

That is
