I thought that was for VSD. Is that what we are talking about?

Duh, I got lost for a moment. You're right. I think I'm missing my drugs. Sorry about that!

Well I just typed this whole thing on a different thread for someone else so may as well add that link here for the info:

"Hiya SmaLakes2,

"....
That's pretty much how it works in a nutshell (granted it's not that easy to learn it as it sounds, but it's not that hard either once you get the hang of it). That's how it is for RLM anyways, and I'm going to guess that the new program will have all that and more so I think our days of "master pages" are numbered
...."

Hi Jo Ann.. For overall content and site structure/format, I agree with you. But with all due respect, not so sure "master pages" are numbered just yet..

When one is designing their own website, your post makes sense, basically because you will know ahead of time what kind of site you want, what it's content will be, and will make provisions accordingly at time of "design" for future updates.

However when doing a customer site, that's not always the case.. Not a big deal if the site only has a few pages. Real life example (and if someone can explain to me how to do this in RLM Pro, I'd be very appreciated..) I do a 15+ page website for a customer who is constantly asking me to "add a link to the nnn page in the menu", where nnn might be a new event coming up, as an example.

Using RLM Pro, I would have to update 15+ pages, adding the new menu item, link, etc... Then when the event is over, I have to go back and update those 15+ pages again to remove it..

Using a "master page", I make TWO updates (one to add and one to remove), refresh, upload and I'm done. It would take me less time to update an entire site this way, then using RLM Pro just doing the first 5 pages..

I understand that RLM Pro is not structured for this and that's ok. It's still a great product. But unfortunately for very large websites with frequent updates to items such as "menu", I don't see how using this is a benefit - except for the responsive layout - but that goes without saying...

We seem to have the same discussion going in 2 different forums.
I just replied to this same post over here: http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/welcome … e-feature/

Scott would you please post an example (.rsd file) using class or id to change the element on multiple pages
or is there a video showing this?

It doesn't change the element it changes the elements styling.

Michael, if you are still following this discussion...

Regarding the content change: If you have the HTML Editor (newest version) in addition to RLM, you can make it easy for yourself.
1. Create the layout in RLM and export it.
2. Open the exported files in the HTML Editor and put 'some meat to the bones' (i.e. add content)
3. Any content that appear on several pages can be saved as a library item. Follow the instructions in the Editor help file.
4. When you want to change something, edit that library item, and the change will appear on all the pages that have that particular text/image/nav... or whatever.
5. For the copyright year you should use the wee script I posted in this thread about one and a half year ago.
