To create a page or list template
1 Open a new page, and then choose Window > Site > Co-Author. The Co-Author palette opens.
Choose File > Save As and save the template file to the section's Templates folder. Saving the file to the Templates
2
folder lets you assign editable regions to it.
3 In the Layout window, select the contents of the first editable region you want to create.
In the Co-Author palette, select the corresponding item from the Apply Region menu.
4
If you want to create a list template, select the element that contains the regions you want to repeat (such as a table
5
that contains name and price regions), and then select Repeat. By default, GoLive uses all the stories to generate the
list. If you want to use only certain stories, enter the number of the first story (according to the sort order) in the Start
field, and then enter the total number of stories to use in the Count field.
Repeat steps 3-5 until you've created editable regions for all the items you want to use in the template.
6
Save the file.

Linking to co-author templates
Creating links between and within templates, and from the templates to other pages in the site, is an important part
of creating co-author sections. You can create the following types of links:
Links between page templates
example, if a co-author section contains two template pages, then GoLive generates two separate web pages per story,
and links the first page for each story to the corresponding second page.
Links within page templates
story in the section. To create the links, use the "#next" and "#previous" strings in the link field of the Inspector.
When no previous or subsequent story exists, as with the first and last story in the list, the links and their content do
not appear.
Links between list and page templates
When you link from a repeated region of a list template, each item (story) in the generated list page contains a link
to its corresponding page (generated via the page template).
Using images in co-author pages
Co-author sections can include image items. You can add an image to a co-author template in the following ways:
Image icon from the objects toolbox
author item region. The width and height of the image used in the template determine the bounding box for the
images used in the generated pages. GoLive resizes the image proportionally and converts it to a JPEG image.
Smart Object Use to place a Smart Object in the template, and then assign it an item region. Choose a source for
the Smart Object and create a target image file in the desired format and with the desired settings. In this method,
the source file is unimportant—it's the target file that specifies the image settings. Make sure you place the source file
into the section's Templates folder.
Smart Object with variables (assigned in Adobe ImageReady®)
according to the variables. Make sure that the variable name matches the item name. Place the image target files in
the section's Templates folder.
