1) How do I upload new CSS templates. I looked at the source code of the website and it seemed to have a different directory structure? ie., /systemdata vs /userdata
If you would like to simply change the CSS, and not the overall HTML structure, then we have added a new feature that allows you to add custom CSS to existing templates. The custom CSS input area is found under the "Site Design" tab (and then the button which says CSS). You can input CSS here and it will over-ride any other style sheets that have been applied to the template. None of the templates use inline styles, so everything can be changed here (apart from the overall HTML structure).
2) web_images and template_images are under /userdata and I can't find /systemdata. Does that mean I upload my own CSS templates (.html?) under /userdata and the the rest of its files under /userdata/template_images?
The "images" folder for the templates are stored outside of Webation Active (they are not visible to you), so if you want to add more images, create a new folder on your desktop and fill it with the images you need. Then zip it and upload it into the "Userdata" folder in the "Template Upload" page (inside the "Site Design" tab). When writing the css use the following as an example:
.header { background-image: url(userdata/newimages/new_header.jpg); }
Because you do not have access to the template's HTML you can't upload a new stylesheet. But when you start using the "custom CSS" area it will add a file called "custom.css" into your Userdata directory listing (in the Template Upload section).
You can see the current CSS styles that are used in the template by using Firebug extension for Firefox to examine the code – click on the "Preview the home page in a new window" on the CSS page (inside the "Site Design" tab).
3) What do I use /userdata/web_images folder for?
Yes that's correct, write the url as being userdata/…
You can create your own directory structure inside the "userdata" folder for your own use.
4) I'd like to change the header image but it seems it is stored under /systemdata/...
See instructions above – 2.
5) I presume that "Edit the CSS settings" are coded in .html and that I should point the images, files, etc stored in /userdata/...
Yes that's correct, write the url as being userdata/…
