Contest Template Code Editor

The Contest Template code editor allows you to customise your contest site using HTML code.

All the standard contest pages are included in the HTML site hierarchy

To get to the contest template code editor select the active template “CODE” button from the My Saved Templates tab (see how to put a template in the My Saved Templates tab here)

You will then be presented with the sire theme directories with all the standard HTML pages, javascript, images and CSS files.

From the HTML editor you can then edit the HTML directly. It is important to note that once you start editing the HTML directly that the site configurator may not operate completely as expected so caution should be exercised and you should only consider making changes to the HTML code if you are an experienced HTML coder.

The html files within the theme are represented as follows:
