How to copy index.thml file to the root directory for LiteCommerce CMS

I use free utility for text changing in category html files and windows command line commands for downloading and uploading files.

You need RAT Replace Ascii & Text Utility

The main file is bat:
index-modificate.bat

del index-file\index.html
FTP -v -i -s:index-download.txt

Adding articles to LiteCommerce CMS

1. Look at the directories where your templates are stored,
2. Take the help directory and create a copy directory articles.
3. Copy the contents of the help to articles

4. put

widget template="common/sidebar_box.tpl" head="Articles" dir="articles
in your main.tpl where you want the box
For instance: I added it to the left column after help (line widget template="common/sidebar_box.tpl" head="Help" dir="help")

In the dirctory articles the head.tpl has the heading, the body tpl contains the links or whatever you want.

Verification of your Blog for Google webmaster tools

Today I registered this blog in Google webmaster tools.
And I met one problem in verification:
If I put HTML verification code to the blogger template just after first head tag, I receive an error message from blogger.
The error message: We were unable to save your template
If I put this code before body tag verification was unsuccessful.
And I fixed it just adding "/" to the verification code in the end of string.
Example:
You received from google next HTML code for verification
(meta content="'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'" name="'verify-v1'">
Change this code to
(meta content="'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'" name="'verify-v1'/">

After that you can save your Template and verify your blog successfully.

Thanks,
