Sylvia Nicosia replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"So far the include files we have on all templates are the header and footer, and eventually a left side nav. For the include files, is it any preference to just have the information in plain text, or have it…"
Justin Gatewood replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"The templates I have I setup myself (just using the layout I had put together, and inserting the include calls where necessary for repeatable content sections).
Setting up templates was surprisingly simple.
I had held off for a few…"
Sylvia Nicosia replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"Thank you Justin, I really appreciate it. This is very useful information because it points us to the right direction. Once you get the template from OU, you do this to call whatever file you want to include on your page. We…"
Justin Gatewood replied to Sylvia Nicosia's discussion Advice for re-design in the group OmniUpdate"I've got OU templates setup with include files (using SSI and the .shtml extension on my pages).

Advice for re-design
We are in the process of moving to OmniUpdate with a brand new site. We are working on incorporating include files for headers, footer, menus, etc. for modularity, and setting up the templates. If anyone has gone through this, any advice is welcome, or share stories that helped you overcome this task. Thanks! Sylvia NicosiaAlumni/Web ManagerFarmingdale State CollegeSee More

Some of our sites use SSL and we've been talking about migrating all the rest our sites for a while now.

Eloine Chapman posted a discussionShould we migrate to https?
I recently got a notice from Google that in October 2017 Chrome V62 with show the warning "NOT SECURE" on all our web pages we have a input field for search. Since on most of our pages there is nothing that would require secure information I've never felt the need for HTTPS. Our class registration pages are secure but not the general information pages. The warning is going to scare people though. Are others upgrading their websites?See More
