Page Template Not Showing in Topic Properties

Post by EricS »

Hi all -

Hope someone can help.

I created a page template (Revision_Record.htm) in my main/global project where all styles/page layouts etc. are stored.

In a new project, I imported the main project.

Created a new topic. Opened topic properties to apply the above page template but it does not show in the Template Page dropdown (just shows (default) and (as is) as my only options.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

The "Template page" in topic properties will show template pages (used to be called master pages) that have a *.flmsp file extension

So Revision_Record.htm is presumably a regular topic, not a template page.
You can save a topic as a topic template, which can be selected when you create a new topic - but that's not the same as a "template page", which contains stuff that you want to add to your topic at build time (like breadcrumbs).

Thanks for the reply, Dave.

Turns out it was just user error. I wasn't applying the Revision_Record.flmsp (yup - I mistyped it in my original post) to the topic correctly. Been a while since I've had to use these regularly so I just missed a step. Appreciate the help.

Didn't realize that the title page template I was using (I inherited) didn't have a body frame located somewhere on the template. Added one and solved issue.
