A release of Theatre Manager may require that some of the web pages be changed or added to the htdocs folder. Theatre Manager is designed so that the web pages are fully functional 'out of the box' (with a couple exceptions noted below). In many cases, only the style sheets need changed in order to create a custom look and feel for your venue.

The intent with Theatre Manager web sales is that a venue can customize the pages in any way they wish since they are generally only HTML based pages that can easily be edited with a WYSIWIG editor like Adobe Dreamweaver as long as the basic <form> submission are not altered, or are replaced by the equivalent API call using javascript.

The release notes for Theatre Manager will provide a list (and file) indicating which web pages have changed, and if possible, what the general intent of the change was. To implement these changes, you need to:

• move any of the new pages that are described into the appropriate places in the htdocs folders
• see if you have pages by the same names in your 'tmCustom' folder directories
• compare the new pages with the old pages in the tmCustom folder and make changes as neccessary.

This can be done by hand or you can use automated tools to help identify exactly what has changed. We recommend using some automated tools.
