Options > Load from Custom Template
If you require complex code operations you can load pages from custom template files. You can use any code (PHP, HTML, JS etc) in a custom template
file. Please read the following directions to set a custom page:
1 Make a copy of 'content/**theme**/custom-templates/custom_tmp.tpl' and save to same folder.
2 Rename new template file. Name MUST begin 'custom_' for the system to pick it up. Keep the .tpl extension, this is important.
3 Add custom code to template file.
4 When creating page, select custom template from drop down menu.
For HTML, use valid HTML5. Do not break the responsive system.

Draft Auto Save
If enabled in the AutoSave settings, the form data is saved automatically. This is
useful if you accidentally close your browser or your browser crashes. When you revisit the add page your
previous draft will reload with a message and the date/time the draft was last saved.
Clear & Reload = Clears draft and reloads screen (Dialog will appear to confirm).
Switch Off Auto Save = Link to settings. View the 'Options > AutoSave' settings.
Click the icon to dismiss the dialog with no changes.
By default the auto save is every 5 seconds, but it can be changed in the 'control/options.php' file, via the 'ADM_AUTO_SAVE_DURATION' option.
Important! The auto save will start once data is added in the "Name/Title" box. If this box is blank at any time the auto save will stop in the background. It will restart once the "Name/Title" box contains data.
