Hello All,
Is there a way to default the extension on the HTML templates to .htm
instead of .html?
The only solution I have found so far is to change the extension and the
page that the script calls after they are generated.
There has to be an easier solution!!!

But, how is this a problem? Why change it at all?

My web host is set up to look for index.html then index.php. Consequently,
the template loads and the php page is not loaded. Talking to them, that
can't be changed on an account by account basis. They suggested renaming
the file.
I've checked it out. If there isn't a index.html or index.htm, the
index.php page loads.
Right now, I've renamed the template page to have an extension of .tmpl
instead of .html. This works fine.
I don't want to have to rename this and then change the reference in the
code file each time I generate/publish.

I had the same problem with the original CC when using PHP with
templates. The only way I've ever found to work around it is to change
my default page to something like home.php, so the template is called
home.html, and then make a index.php with the following:
<?php
header("Location: home.php");
?>
This has to be at the top of the page, with no blank space before the
opening <?php tag.

Why don't you create an entry page named index.htm.
Something like
http://www.electronicrevenue.com (A CCS site built by a colleague)
Then have a link to your beginning index.php page from there. Kind of like
the login button on the example page?
It is just a quick thought. I don't know if it will work for you.
Thanks.

Ouch, what were they thinking?
I suppose you could code the OnInitializeView event to set the template file
name to do this. I don't know if it is the same for PHP but with ASP this
variable is "TemplateFileName".
By changing this variable, you will cause CCS to load a different template
file than the default one (yourpagename.html). Any changing of this will
probably make deploying a real pain, though. I'd think CCS will still want
to deploy .html files.
You host is very, very screwed up. I'd consider changing if possible. I
also think you should recommend to Yes Software that using .html is a bad
idea. I like your idea of .tmpl. Makes a lot of sense. It is "special"
html anyway.

Of course you may need to rename your beginning page to something other than
index. Maybe default or index one or an even more descriptive name.

I once used
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.....etc....">
to go from index.html to default.php
dirty, but it works

It's not the host only. Imagine you want to distribute CCS
applications - you won't have control over the remote enivronments. If
you want to use index pages, you'll have to work with redirect
solutions to be sure that the visitors won't see the template file.
It was not the best idea of Yes to give the template files a html
extension. Maybe it would not be that difficult to give them another
extension (.tpl or alike) by default or to make that value
configurable through project settings.
While developing, there is an advantage of html: you can open the
template files in the browser and wysiwyg...

To solve this problem - I always code an index.html page.
Specifically I use this for SEO - an introduction to the
website/application, very keyword rich. The spiders eat it up and
I usually end up with some deep linking.
