I know this would be unlikely, but I would love to be able to create my own patterns, or at least modify what is already there :) Givin away trade secrets it may be, but it would sure be nice to be able to modify the html that CC generates!

Or maybe seperate the html from the code templates, and let ppl modify those? That would be pretty damn nice :)

It is possible to edit the HTML that CC generates, or you can use your own styles and save them in the style tab in CC.... I can't see what else you could mean and as long as you don't mess with the fields in the template (i.e. {field1} ) then it'll work fine.....

Andrew,
as you use template pattern the html code is moved to separate .html file. They can be freely edited in FrontPage, DreamWeaver and so on , the only limitation is not to change {variables_in_braces} (later they will be substituted with values from database by scripts) and <!--html comments--> , these are used by script to distinguish between forms.

Guess I was a little bit confuzing.

I would like to be able to create my own CCT files (i think thats what I want?) so that I would be able to modify the default html that codecharge outputs, and create custom 'styles' that are much more extensive that what CC normally supports.

I would like to have control over the template HTML code that codecharge uses to generate the page. I know CC pulls it's template HTML code from somewhere (or is it compiled in?) and I would like to change *that*. That way I would be able to set the cellpadding/spacing on the tables codecharge wraps the forms in, and other things like that.

It is not really viable to edit the HTML files right now, except in the limited case of login forms (since they don't really ever change, and have only one form). If the form changes, which all of mine do quite often, then the changes to the html will be overwritten. If I turn that feature off, then the changes to the forms are not reflected in the output. Since the pages I write are generally in flux, this does not work for me. When the site is finished I am able to do this, but that precludes making changes to it at a later date without undue work. It defeats the purpose of using codecharge in many cases.

CCS should definately support this sometime in the future.

There simply are not enough 'componets' in the CCS toolbox right now. I think the one size fits all approach will not work.

Wandering around my hard drive looking for Themes, I found a group of folders at CodeChargeStudio\Components\CodeTemplates. Looks like those are the default files that you wanted.

Hi,

I have seen in "C:\Program Files\CodeCharge\Patterns" many files with ".ccp" extension. I suppose it's what you're looking for.

I have your same need, and I would like to resolve it with CC, not with CCS.

How can I modify these files? If I open them with an editor I get a scrambled page that's impossibile to read.

Thank you
Gianni
