Creating Own Listing Design Templates

From GarageSaleWiki

GarageSale allows you to create your own listing designs templates or to customize the built-in design templates.

GarageSale's design templates are folders whose names end with a '.designTemplate' extension. There have to be at least two files in a .designTemplate folder: Info.plist and body.html.

The body.html file contains ordinary HTML code with added commands from the GarageSale Template Language to include properties of the current auction template.

The Info.plist file contains information about the template itself, such as its name, its version, and a list of images used in the template stored on a remote web server.

Design Templates can be created using the Design Template Utility or manually.

For beginners the best way is to duplicate one of the existing design templates and make modifications to those copied files.

Locating and Storing Design Templates

You can access GarageSale's built-in templates by holding down the control key on your keyboard and clicking on the GarageSale application icon. From the popup menu choose 'Show Package Contents' and navigate to /Contents/Resources/DesignTemplates. Be sure to duplicate the templates before you start modifying them.

To make Garagesale find your modified design templates, save them into the directory Library/Application Support/GarageSale/DesignTemplates in your home directory. If this directory doesn't exist yet, create it.
