You'll probably want most of your group pages to look about the same. Sometimes, though, you may need a specific page, or a group of pages, to display or behave differently. This is easily accomplished with page templates.

Create a template for one Page: Intended for one specific page, you can create a specialized template, named with that page's alias or ID:

1. page-{alias}.php
2. page-{id}.php

For example: Your About Us page has an alias of 'about-us' and an ID of 6. If template has a file named page-about-us.php or page-6.php, then it will automatically find and use that file to render the About Us page.

To be used, specialized page templates must be in your groups template directory: /{web_root}/site/groups/{group_id}/template/

Create a template that can be used by any page: A custom page template can be used by multiple pages. To create a custom page template make a new file starting with a template name inside a PHP comment. Here's the syntax:

<?php
/*
Template Name: My Custom Page
*/

To be used, custom page templates must be in your groups template directory: /{web_root}/site/groups/{group_id}/template/

Once you upload the file to your template's folder, the template name, "My Custom Page", will list in the edit page screen's Template dropdown.

The order below defines which page template gets loaded on any given page. The first match found is used.

1. Custom Template — If the page has a custom template assigned, the HUB will looks for that file and, if found, use it.
2. page-{alias}.php — Else the HUB looks for and, if found, uses a specialized template named with the page's alias.
3. page-{id}.php — Else the HUB looks for and, if found, uses a specialized template named with the page's ID.
4. page.php — Else the HUB looks for and, if found, uses the default page template.
5. index.php — Else the HUB uses a the template's index file.

The following group include tags can be used within a group page.

• <group:include type="modules" postion="{position}" />
• <group:include type="modules" title="{title}" />
• <group:include type="script" base="" source="{file_path}" />
• <group:include type="stylesheet" base="" source="{file_path}" />

For Script & Stylesheet group includes you can specify a base param of "template" which will automatically prepend "/template/assets/js" or "/template/assets/css" to the source. If no base is specified, it will look for the file in the groups "uploads" directory.
