Template Pages

Change the design of your Database Feed Pages

Purpose: These templates display a list of the store's database feeds. Database feeds can be set up in the "Extra Pages" section of the 3dcart Online Store Manager's Settings ->Design ->Site Content area. There are three main Feed layouts available, but additional layouts can be created by naming the template feed_page_3, 4, etc. The default feed template is feed_page_0.html, however, if you would like to specify a different feed template for a particular database feed, this can be done by selecting a different template from ther dropdown on the database feeds page.

Note: The store's pre-created Terms and Conditions page is an example of a Database Feed.

Note: It is important to preserve the commented tags to ensure the software performs correctly.
