Adjusting Content on Important Web Pages

We recommend making changes to the style sheets only. However, we do know that some venues like to customize additional text on pages. This is only possible if you change the actual web page itself.

You are free to edit additional pages if you choose. However, a couple of caveats:

• Generally, change anything in the page that you want as long as it doesn't affect the function of the page. Save the original page so you can compare it to your changes if something stops working
• Do not change the names of any field within a <form> tag or an <input> tag
• Do not adjust any calculation between a <field> and </field> tag without consulting with an Arts Management Systems support person first. These calculations and field names are items merged back into a page from the database before it is sent to the user and in effect, are the guts of the web process
• try to only edit files if they begins with an upper case TM.... as in TMhome.html.
• try to avoid changing any file in the 'tmTemplates' folder that starts with 'row' or 'set', or 'cell' or lowercase 'tm'

Other than those general rules, open any page with your favorite page editor and make changes as you like. The pages that we find venues change most often are:

• TMcart.html - to put rules about exchanges and mailing
• TMhome.html - to add general rules about your venue's key policies
• TMdonation.html - to add comments about online giving
• TMlogin.html - to alter any rules or notes that user sees on the login screen
• TMError.txt - to alter some of the error message text for some error conditions
• TMtickets.html - to add any last minute details regarding online purchasing before patrons choose their performances
• tmTemplates/tmContactHours.html - to set rules about when you are open
• tmTemplates/tmContact.html - to adjust any text around how to contact the venue
• tmTemplates/tmnavButtons.html - to adjust which buttons are acceptable for the venue at the top of the page
