Update to the AWBS Template Tool

Only a brief moment available to drop in and make post about a few updates to the AWBS tool.  Previously I had posted that more than 16k errors or should I say declarations and code structure were changed in the default template to make an all new one based on XHTML coding standards. Yesterday and the day before I found dozens and dozens of additional changes I needed to make in order to get my broke template master to work.  Fixed I decided to make a Dreamweaver snippet and extension tool real quick which although isn’t super beautiful it is fully functional.

AWBS Template Dreamweaver Extension

What I did is take all the code out of the templates that were considered tags that can be used elsewhere and put them in to three snippet categories in the extension.  After visiting the AWBS documentation site I took a list of the available tags and simply put them in the drop down menu for the extension.

I have NO IDEA what changes AWBS has in store for future releases and I’ve offered the template to them as a master layout if they so desire which is cleaner, lighter, faster and validates better. Its loaded with comments for novice persons to easily and quickly build a template for AWBS.

I’ll still keep the extension, support files and template masters as part of this very affordable template kit for AWBS.  If AWBS decides to implement the new reworked template as part of their release, I’ll still provide minimal support for it in the new forums I’ve installed on my domain.

I have literally been up to my neck with catch up tasks and have turned down freelance projects as a result to get these projects complete and out the door.

If you want the kit now, without the tutorials or video guides, you can purchase the kit for $29.95.  Please note however that when other elements of the kit become available I will notify you of download location.  What is pending is the video how to guide, the dreamweaver extension needs testing and I just wrapped up the photoshop action and image TDK for AWBS standard icons and I’ve included several reworks in that area too.

AWBS is a great product written by intelligent programmers.  We all know that programmers and designers don’t always see eye to eye so all the above mentioned errors and issues are design related and should not reflect poorly on the quality of AWBS as an ideal solution for hosting companies.  Besides, AWBS is likely the most affordable and easy to use solution among the many I’ve tested. I’m a fan and a user of the product and have it on no fewer than 33 client servers ( last count ) at any given time.

Please EMAIL me or contact me to purchase the kit without the videos or documentation until they are complete.
