Fireworks exports an html file the code of which you can edit to add template fields in the spots of your new layout where you want them; i.e. wiki-replaced comments like<br><!--wiki:$Group.PageTopMenu $SiteGroup.PageTopMenu--><br>
or<br><!--markup:(:if enabled FontSizer:)(:fontsizer:)(:if:)--><br>and especially<br><!--PageText--><br>:)<br><br>You have to keep an eye on the amount of content that is to go in each spot; if the space allowed in the design is too small, the page content will break the carefully pieced together layout. In some instances, you'll want to replace some slices with a smaller gif image and put it in the cell or layer background with a css repeat attribute either horizontally or vertically; that way if the content grows or shrinks, the layout will be preserved as designed.<br>
<br>Rename that file with a .tmpl extension and place it with any css and images in a /pub/skins/newname folder, where newname is the name you choose for your skin.<br><br>However, if you want to use the triad skin, that already has a tmpl file.<br>
Compare the triad.tmpl with newname.tmpl and try to use the same css classes, javascripts, layers and file structure to integrate the new layout into the triad one.<br><br>From my previous experience, the integration will be really tough (I worked with the Gemini skin), because it's not easy to get Firefox to generate a plain layout table: it adds lots of extra cells (and slices) to help control the layout. If you have Dreamweaver, it may help a bit.<br>

I know this is probably something that most pmWiki users would not even be interested in, but I'm in a situation where a customer would like to use pmWiki but their designer has created their web site in Adobe Fireworks CS4. I have CS4 but I'm not sure of the best approach to "convert" it to pmWiki.<br>
<br>
Fireworks can export several ways and you can export the graphics in "slices". I want to use the triad skin so I was thinking I could slice it up based on header, left side, middle, right side, bottom.<br>
<br>
I'd consider my pmWiki knowledge level at intermediate.<br>
<br>
I guess I'm wondering if there is somebody out there who has actually done this and could just give me a thumbs up or a thumbs down and a few pointers. Thank you.<br>
