equinux iSale 5.9.7 - Manual (Page 39)

To check for new templates manually:
‣ Choose “Check for New Templates“ from the “iSale 5“ menu
If the automatic or manual template check does not result in the
dialog above, but you know that there are new templates, you
can also force iSale to check for new templates.
To force a check for new templates:
‣ In the Finder, open the folder Library/Application Support/iSale
5/ located in your home folder
‣ Delete the file “Templates.plist”
‣ Delete the folder “Templates”
‣ Restart iSale
‣ Open the template chooser
A message will appear stating that new templates are available
for download.
‣ Confirm that you want to download the templates
All available templates should now be downloaded and installed.
Auctions Without Templates
Instead of using one of the professionally designed templates, you
can also create auctions without templates. These auctions allow
you to use advanced Rich Text and HTML formatting to style your
description text, e.g. to change the font color or increase character
size.
To create an auction without a template:
‣ Choose “File > New Auction > From Item Lookup”
Note Auctions without templates cannot be turned into regu-
lar auctions later on due to their specific format.
To apply Rich Text formatting to your item description:
‣ Choose the desired formatting options from the “Format“ menu
Note Please keep in mind that certain typefaces might not be
available on your viewers’ systems. It is recommended to
use standard fonts like Arial, Helvetica etc.
Before transferring your listing to eBay, iSale will convert all for-
matting to HTML, to allow proper display on any browser.
If you‘re familiar with the HTML markup language and CSS, you
can apply all the standard HTML and CSS tags to format an auc-
tion yourself.
iSale will render your HTML code in its preview, giving you a good
impression of how your auction will look at eBay.
To test your HTML code, please complete the following:
‣ Switch your auction into edit mode.
‣ Enter HTML Code in the “Description” field.
