Working with unzipped project templates
To simplify the testing of project templates during development, unzipped templates are supported. To deploy an unzipped template, you can copy or save the project files to the correct project template location (local or server). To correctly recognize an unzipped template, and to correctly distinguish it from a template folder and non-template files, the template files must be correctly structured, like this:
MyProject
[MyProject.mdd]
MyProject_files
People_Working_Red_Layout.htm
People_Working_Red_Layout.htm_files
People_Working_Red.css
People_Working_Red.Banner.jpg
People_Working_Red_Grid.xml
People_Working_Red_Question.htm
Red_Back.gifRed_Next.gif
SameLine_Banner.htm
Spacer.gif
MyProject.mqd
MyProjectSample.csv
MySMScript.mrs
OtherFileCopiedByUser.xyz
The name of the folder that the unzipped project files are in must match the project name. This ensures that project folder can be distinguished from a normal template folder. Any folder that contains files, but does not contain template archives (.zip files) or Project_files, is considered an unzipped template. In this case, all files in the project folder are considered part of the template.
