Changing the template of a resource

If you have followed along and have created the front page from the previous example, your website will look like the following screenshot:

Now, to get a practical feel of what templates are all about, let us go ahead and change the template of the home page to none. You will immediately notice that all of the menus and layouts have disappeared and only the content of the resource is shown. Later in the chapter, we will go on to create our own template.

Follow these steps to modify the template of the home page to none:

1. 1. Log in to the Manager interface as admin.

2. 2. Click on the Home resource in the resource tree.

3. 3. Click on Edit and change the option Uses template to (blank). The document editing page will be refreshed, but the change to the document is not yet saved.

4. 4. You may see a warning about losing previous publishing dates. Click on Yes to continue.

5. 5. Click on Save to save the changes.

6. 6. Click on Preview to see how the modified home page looks.
