Using an article template allows you to separate the form (how the article looks) from its content (what the article contains - texts, photos). Thanks to article templates, we can quickly create many sub-pages in WebWave Web Page Builder, which will look the same or very similar and differ only in content.

 

Article template.

1. To create an article template, click "Article layouts" under the "Articles" tab
 


 

2. Then add a new article design by clicking the "Add template" button
 


 

3. In the website builder, a new article template will be opened. We can edit it just like a regular subpage - add and remove elements, move them around and change their style.

 

Special elements of the article template.

Once you have created an article template, you will find several special elements in it. These elements allow you to add the content of the article, its title, display the date of creation of the article and its thumbnail.
 


 

Article title (News Header)
The article header is an element where we can enter the title of the article. This title will be displayed in the article listings and will also be inserted into the article URL by default.
 

Article content (News Content)
Article content is a simple text element. As the name suggests, you can enter the content of your article in it and insert images. The first words of the article content will be displayed in the article list as its abbreviation.
 

Article thumbnail (News thumbnail)
Thumbnail is a photo that is displayed in the article list as a thumbnail of the article. The thumbnail can be changed just like any other photo, that is, by clicking on the edit icon in the corner of the item. It can also be changed by clicking on the icon in the side edit panel and through the article list.

 

Article date (News date)
The article creation date displays when the article was created.
 

 

Variable content in the elements.

In the article template, we determine how the articles should look. So we define the positions and general appearance of the elements.

 

We enter their content when we create individual articles.

Elements that can have different content from article to article are all special elements and Facebook-related galleries and buttons (i.e. likes and comments). The content of these elements can be changed between articles.

 

Hide special elements.

Special elements of the article template must be in every template. For this, they cannot be removed. However, if you do not want these elements to be displayed, for example, you would like to replace the article thumbnail with a slider, there is no problem with that at all. Simply hide the selected element by clicking on the eye icon in the list of layers.

 

 

Additional information.

To display articles on your site use the "Newsfeed - article list" element. You can find more information about this element here [LINK].
