Each page throughout the site adheres to the same Page Layout. It's important that this is followed in all instances to maintain the same look and feel throughout. The content on each page also conforms to a set layout so that the visitor can easily follow each page no matter which section they are in.

Taking a look at the default page layout you'll see it can be broken down into several key areas that exist on each and every page throughout the site.

This area contains the primary site navigation to the main individual sections by means of pull down menus. The scripts for this are located in the /bin directory (toolbars.js and toolbardetails.js).

The main graphical imagery on the site is in the header area. This also contains an image of the national flag at the left hand side for regional variation.

Containing a menu this area holds the main navigation for the section which the visitor is in. This is populated with a server side include, menu.htm, residing in that root of each section (for more information see Server Side Includes). This area also has national airforce imagery towards the bottom for regional variation.

This section is a server side include called footer.htm, residing in the /includes folder in the site root (for more information see Server Side Includes). It contains a link to the Bulletin Board.

Displays the page content, see Content Layout below.

As with the page layout you'll see that the content layout can also be broken down into several key areas that exist on each and every page throughout the site.

Every page must have a title, this should also reflect section that the page is located in as well. As an example this page's title is "Site Maintenance and Help : Page Structure", representing a page called 'Page Structure' in the section 'Site Maintenance and Help'.

Every page must have a Header which briefly introduces the page with space to pass on important information that might be needed about that page.

The only real rule with regards to content is the colouring used for the section bars (coloured bars in the screenshot above). Take a look at the Styles page to see which colours should be used for each section. With regards to page layout templates have been created to enable you to create new pages - 1column, 2column, 4pane and Blank pages (see Creating / Editing pages on how to use these).

The bottom of the content section contains a server side include called bottomlinks.htm which contains links to the top level pages (TTSL Home, FAQ, Feedback and Sitemap) plus a link to take you back to the previous page.
