b. Templates and Themes

SmartJobBoard design is very flexible. So, you can implement your own design easily. For this purpose themes, page templates, module templates and templates of database field types are used in the system. This software comes with several default templates that can be used 'as is', edited to your liking, or replaced with your own templates.

Theme is a common design layout of the whole web site, a combination of templates. You can create the unlimited number of themes within your web site, but you can  use only one at a time. However, if your site supports more than one language it’s possible to set different themes for each of them.

More information about it you can find in the 'Language Management' section.

Template is a common layout of data displayed by the system. There are two types of templates: page templates and module templates.

Page template is a common page layout. It consists of HTML code, Smarty tags and special tags that include module functions into the page. Each page template also includes a main content tag that displays specific content for a particular page.

There are two default page templates in the system: index.tpl and main.tpl. Main.tpl is a template of the first page of your website, whereas index.tpl is a default template for all other pages.

Module template is a layout used by a module function to display its output data. Module templates are used by functions. Module template consists of HTML code, Smarty tags and other module functions tags.

You may find detailed description of each module template in the 'Module Templates Reference' section.

Database Field Types Templates determine the way how database field types for listings and for user profiles will be displayed. Templates of Database Field Types are divided into three types: input, search and display templates.

More information about it read in the 'Database Field Types' section.
