I've got a custom template here with tags for Sparedollar. I tried removing the SD tags and replacing them using the custom template creator here, but I just made a big mess of things. I'm not sure where the tags begin and end. And to insert an Auctiva tag, do you really only have to click the "title" or "image" button? That's it??

Anyway, if someone can tell me what I need to look for to remove the tags so I remove only that and not other stuff, I would be thrilled.

Good news! After tommorow's release, you will be able to just directly copy/paste one of your SD templates into Auctiva and have it automatically converted for you!

EE-hah! I usually only get up this early for Christmas! What a great thing to find under the tree!

How will I ever be able to wait for the adults to get up?

Was this released yet and where can I find it if and when it is released?

Thanks WAHM!!

It has now been released! Simply copy the SD template HTML directly into the Text Editor after the create/edit custom template page loads, click Save, and you are done! Try it out!

Well, not exactly *done* but it SURE WORKS GREAT! It definitely does the tedious garbage, that's for sure.

About the only glitches I noticed are easy to live with:
A: Users: be sure to go into the code and specify whatever size of thumbnail you want...for example:
If you want thumbnail #1 to be 140 pixels wide,
find where the code says <a href="[IMAGE1_URL]"><img src="[IMAGE1_URL]"> and then put "width=140" (without the quotes) just ahead of the last angle bracket. Leave a space ahead, so it looks like this: <a href="[IMAGE1_URL]"><img src="[IMAGE1_URL]" width=400>

FWIW, I get rid of the blue border and replace it with a snazzy (to an old pirate) gold one by adding: style="border: 6px outset #cccc00;" (the last quotation mark stays in) one space behind the "400".

B. If your template code has anything like a background texture, etc. that is hosted on SD, be sure to switch it to the new address at Auctiva, assuming that's where it's hosted.

C. Arrr...seems to me there was something else, too, but I can't remember for sure. I've taken too many cannon-ball hits in the head over the years. If I think of it, I'll be back.

Sail On, Auctiva! A Hearty "Well Done" To All!
