Reset Page View Icons

[brad]

How do I remove the Page View icons? I find the file type icons much more useful and appealing visually.

  "_template.php": {
    "description": "Starting Template for all pages.",
    "thumb": "/Main page/Header with image 3.svg"
  }
}

This has been added in v3 Beta 6.

Brad, check the docs showing how to work with layout/template pages

PREVIEW: Creating template based pages and layout in Wappler with NodeJS

When creating a website usually you want to include common elements like header/menu and a footer on all you pages. This was possible until now using SSI (server side includes) but this technique requires you to add your SSI on every page you create. With the new template based pages you can setup a main layout, which includes all your common elements and use it to create your site pages.

That’s all Node.js stuff though. Not something I’d likely ever be in the position to use.

Well after NodeJS the templating will come to PHP as well So most probably it will be of use for you.
Also NodeJS is not as scary as it sounds - it’s worth taking a look at some point.

I don’t have access to Node.js hosting either on my local machine or remote server. So it’s not a possibility for me even if I did understand any of it. But that’s not a Wappler issue. Obviously Node.js is popular so it’s a good feature.

You don’t need any local setup actually Wappler creates a local server for you, runs it and installs everything that you need when you create a node project.
