Templates

To create a successful membership site, it is very important to have the ability to change and adapt quickly. To do that, Memberkit uses templates to separate code from contents of a page. Memberkit templates are designed to be easy to edit. They are very different from templates available on many other applications.

Templates are Code Free:
They do not contain any back-end code. They are simple HTML files. They can be modified using any kind of HTML editor. Anybody with basic web design experience can develop advanced membership sites using Memberkit.

Templates are Stand Alone:
Memberkit templates are simple stand-alone HTML files. You can open them as individual HTML pages. You can use your favorite HTML editor to edit them, save and test them. One you are finished with a page, you can upload it to your site and Publish it to make your changes live.

Being stand alone is not only limited to individual files. You can download your dev folder into your computer and test things as a standalone site and the links between pages or the images on your pages will still keep working when you publish your whole site.

Templates are Flexible:
You can use any kind of JavaScript, CSS or Flash on your templates and they will simply work. Since all of your files published together, there is no difference of putting any widget on a regular HTML file or putting it on a Memberkit based site.

Templates are Smart:
Using template tags, you can add all kind of features to your pages. Here are some examples:
- Add a database field, and you can use it on any page using tags such as {firstname}
- Easily include pages inside other pages using {TEMPLATE:filename.html} tag.
- Include content listings, search forms, display pages on any page.
- Use IF statements on your templates to change behavior depending on user status.
- Setup "events" on your templates so that you can trigger different behavior on your pages depending on user status.
- Easily add comment, rating and review forms to any page.
