Select (Home) Page Template Dialog

A home page is like a primary page, except that it is associated with the root of the Web site rather than one of its sections. It is the default, or landing, page for visitors when they enter the site. You can add a home page using this dialog.

Element	Description
Create a new page template	Creates the home page with the file extension that you specify below: hcsp: Use for Idoc Script Web sites. jsp: Use for JSP Web sites. asp: Use for ASP Web sites. The available file extensions depend on the type of site you created using the Site Connection Details dialog (see Site Connection Details Dialog). You can create a Web site in HCSP, JSP, or ASP. But only those sites built in HCSP have the functionality that is in 10gR4 and later releases. You should not create a Web site in ASP or JSP unless you have determined that you have very specific needs that require a site built in ASP or JSP.
Select existing page template from the content server	Adds an existing page template (from the content server) to your Web site, making it the home page. You can select it from the menu if the page template is one you created recently; if not, select <Choose From Server> to browse to it in the content server when this dialog closes.
Create a new page template from an existing one	Creates a copy of an existing page template and adds it to your Web site, making it the home page. This action saves you time by letting you reuse another page template rather than re-create the design from scratch. The page template that you are creating this from can come from one of two sources: stored in the content server: Selects a page template stored on the content server. You can select it from the menu if the page template is one you created recently; if not, select <Choose From Server> to browse to it in the content server when this dialog closes. stored on the file system: Selects a page template stored on the file system. This option can be especially useful if you created a page template on your file system and want to reuse it. The file, however, must have the appropriate file extension (.hcsp, .jsp, or .asp).
Use an external URL	This option applies only to primary pages (see Select (Primary) Page Template Dialog).
Apply recursively to all subsections	Applies the same page template to every section below this one in the site hierarchy. This action is the same as opening each section in the site hierarchy, adding a page template, and choosing "Select existing page template from the content server."
OK	Closes the Select Page Template dialog and associates the page template with the root of your site hierarchy.
Cancel	Closes the Select Page Template dialog without associating a page template with the root of your site hierarchy.
Help	Opens the online help for this specific dialog.
