Theme Files

A ProofBuddy theme is built on a series of template files.  The standard extension for these files is .tpl, but .php will work as well. 

ProofBuddy uses a series of variables to fill in information when displaying a page.  For example, the variable <!--addToCartCategories--> will be replaced with a box for your visitor to enter a quantity, a drop list of all of your pricing items, and an Add to Cart button. 

You'll note that ProofBuddy variables are wrapped in HTML comments.   We did this so that even if a mistake is made in putting in a variable, the only thing your client will see is an empty space. 

Variables are broken down into three basic categories.  Global variables work on any page, page specific variables only work on specific pages, and email variables work only within the email templates.

Most variables are simply replacements like the addToCartCategories example above.  A few take parameters which will be explained with the variable.

Global variables are listed here.  Variables that are specific to individual template files will be listed with the information on that page.

What follows is a list of the template files available to change the design of your theme.  You can do a majority of the customization by only editing a few files, but you can also modify your site as much as you like.
