Templates Structure

The HTML export of the WLAN-Visualizer is based on different HTML templates, which can be defined freely by the user. To success the user has attend some things.

First we take a closer look into the "templates" directory within the programms directory. It should look like figure 5.1

Figure 5.1: The "templates" directory

The "img" directory contains all the images needed, the "css" directory contains the style sheets to format the HTML page. So there are three files left. The "index.html" later becomes the start page of the export. For each floor a HTML page is created with "floor.html" and "floor_menu.txt". In "floor_menu.txt" you specify a menu structure, to link between the different floors on each page.

So how the whole thing works? Each of these files contains different tokens , which are later replaced by the dedicated information. A whole list of these tokens is listed in table 5.1.
