I would like to ask if we can create an aspx template in VS2008 and apply the template in umbraco (i'm using version 4.03). Then we can apply the content to the created template (.aspx), and the page can be access using template1.aspx?id=1050. This way, we can use the same template for many contents.
I want to create the template in .aspx (maybe in VS2008), and I saw that umbraco is using .master as a template. I'd like to ask if we can create the template as .aspx, and in the .aspx page we place the umbraco content item or macro in the .aspx template. Then, if we can deploy this .aspx template, we can just refer to the content id to pull the content.
For example, if we have a template called "template1.aspx", and if we want to pull the content id =1050, we just need to go to template1.aspx?id=1050. or if we want to use template1.aspx to display content id =56, we can go to template1.aspx?id=56.
I think i understand you - well - masterpages are well incorporated in Umbraco - you can create your masterpage which we can call MasterTemplate
and then in the mastertemplate show where you will insert child content, then you can define your childcontent on your ChildTemplate. You can use VS2008 to do it, but in my oppinion its just as easy to do it directly in Umbraco
Check out Warren's blog post about masterpages in Umbraco - it should cover it all:
And I also recommend that you have a look at the Creative Website Starter package and install it in a test-installation to explore how it's been build so you get an understanding of the concepts of Umbraco. And it's always good to have a playground where it does not matter that you make mistakes.
Besides I think the videos Daniel is mentioning from Warrens site, which is down for some reason at the moment (don't know if it'll get up again), can be seen here: http://vimeo.com/1752100
Create a template
Hello,
I'm new to umbraco and have been using other CMS.
I would like to ask if we can create an aspx template in VS2008 and apply the template in umbraco (i'm using version 4.03). Then we can apply the content to the created template (.aspx), and the page can be access using template1.aspx?id=1050. This way, we can use the same template for many contents.
Thank you
Hi Elin,
I'm a bit confused over what you want to accomplish?
You can create your templates in every editor you want and then put it into Umbraco afterwards.
Can you maybe explain a bit more about what you want ? :)

Hope you don't get confused.
Thanks

Hi Felipe.
Welcome to the forum.
You might want to check out the introduction video to templates here. This gives you a good idea on how templates works in Umbraco.

Hi Felipe
+1 on watching the video Kim is referring to.
When starting out on Umbraco this is a good introduction. I'll also recommend that you take a look at this WIKI entry: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/a-complete-newbie%27s-guide-to-umbraco
And I also recommend that you have a look at the Creative Website Starter package and install it in a test-installation to explore how it's been build so you get an understanding of the concepts of Umbraco. And it's always good to have a playground where it does not matter that you make mistakes.

Happy umbracoing.
