Add, change, hide and remove the full-page layouts editors pick under Choose a template Learn DXPR BuilderManage the siteConfigure the builder ## In this guide Related guides - [User profiles](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/user-profiles-admin) - [Page templates](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/reusable-templates/page-templates) - [User templates admin](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/user-templates-admin) Page templates are full-page layouts. Editors pick one under **Choose a template** when a DXPR Builder field is still empty. On the **Page Templates** tab you add your own layouts, change their order and hide the ones you do not want. The quickest way to make one is to turn a section that an editor saved into a page template. ## Before you start - Your role needs **Administer site configuration** for this tab. - For **Create page template**, it also needs **Administer DXPR Builder configuration**. - Build the layout on a page and save it as a template, as described in [Save a section and reuse it](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/reusable-templates/user-templates). ## Set up 1. Go to **DXPR Studio** > **DXPR Builder** > **User Templates**(`/admin/dxpr_studio/dxpr_builder/user_templates`). 2. In the row of your saved layout, open the arrow next to **Edit**and click **Create page template**. 3. Click **View page templates dashboard** in the message. 4. Click **Edit** next to the new template. 5. Change the **Category**, upload an **Image** and set a **Weight**. 6. Click **Save**. The new page template keeps the label and machine name of the saved layout. Its category starts as **DXPR**. ## Add a template by hand Use this when you have the template markup, for example from another site. 1. Go to **DXPR Studio** > **DXPR Builder** > **Page Templates**(`/admin/dxpr_studio/dxpr_builder/page_template`). 2. Click **Add page template**. 3. Enter a **Label** and a **Category**. 4. Paste the markup into **Template**. 5. Click **Save**. ## What you see The message "Created new dxpr builder page template" or "Updated dxpr builder page template" names your template. The list shows **Label**, **Machine name**, **Thumbnail**, **Category**, **Weight**, **Status**, **Migration** and **Operations**. **Thumbnail** reads **No image**until you upload one. In the editor, the **Layouts** dialog of an empty field now offers the template. It sorts by **Weight**, then by label. Pages made earlier keep their content: a template is copied into the page, never linked. ## Settings | Setting | What it does | Default | |---|---|---| | **Label** | The name editors see in the **Layouts** dialog. | Empty, required | | **Machine name** | The template's ID, made from the label. Locked after the first save. | From the label | | **Enabled** | Untick to hide the template from editors without deleting it. | Ticked | | **Category** | A free-text group name, shown in the list on this tab. | Empty, required | | **Image** | The thumbnail in the list and in the **Layouts** dialog. | None; the dialog shows a placeholder | | **Template** | The DXPR Builder markup that fills the page. | Empty, required | | **Weight** | The position in the **Layouts** dialog; lower numbers come first. | Empty, sorted as 0 | DXPR Builder ships five templates: **Text Columns**, **Split Content and Buttons**, **About Us**, **About Me** and **Homepage Basic**. To hide one, untick **Enabled** rather than deleting it; a deleted template does not come back. ## If you don't see the template in the editor - **There is no Choose a template button.** The field already has content; templates are offered on an empty field only. Start a new page, or delete the content and save. - **The template is missing from the Layouts dialog.** It is not enabled, or the editor's user profile leaves it out. Tick **Enabled**, or tick the template under **Page templates** in the profile at **User Profiles** (`/admin/dxpr_studio/dxpr_builder/profile`). - **"Page template creation failed because a page template with the same name already exists".** A page template already uses that machine name. Delete that page template, or save the layout again under a new name. ## What's next? - [User profiles](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/user-profiles-admin): choose which page templates each role gets. - [Start a page from a template](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/reusable-templates/page-templates): what editors see. - [User templates](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/user-templates-admin): manage the sections editors save.
