Self-Managed HTML

Every Xebra E-Commerce site is governed by a set of HTML pages.  “Out of the box”, these pages are set and do not require any adjustments.  However, you can create your own HTML configuration and manipulate the HTML within each page to achieve aesthetics or functions beyond the basic.

To create an HTML Configuration, GO > E-Commerce > Actions > HTML Setup

 Commands > New

4 HTML Commands-New

New Configuration Based on Standard – Initiates a new HTML configuration file based on the “out of the box” version.

Use Xebra Standard Page – When checked, indicates that the standard, “out of the box” HTML is being used for the selected page.  Unchecking this option enables the Upload HTML Page function, allowing you to upload your own manipulated HTML file.
Upload HTML Page – Used to upload an HTML file from your workstation.  Typically this would be an HTML file that originated in Xebra but was then manipulated by you.
Download HTML Page – Used to download the HTML file used to govern the selected page.  This is the starting point for manipulating HTML files on your own.
Analyze HTML Page – Used to compare the current HTML file to the standard set.  This will indicate missing or misplaced sections in the HTML and identify potential errors.  Used by HTML developers to analyze and diagnose custom HTML files.
