Cornerstone Templates File Structure

[Rule72]

Alright, I’m trying to get a bit fancy on backend stuff – something I’ll admit that I’m not too experienced with.

The overall goal is to create a WordPress image that gets as far into the repetitive work that I do for every single site, so that I can immediately start on the custom stuff (e.g. specific plugins, page templates, and pre-filling out elements such as logo.png, etc.).

To this end I’m curious about the structure of templates for Pro/Cornerstone: are page, section, or element templates implemented purely as database objects, or when I save them are they dropped somewhere in the actual server’s file structure? I’m guessing the former, and that when importing a template-file.tco file that it’s a JSON or XML-esque format, is this correct?

Hey @Rule72,

It’s purely in the database. No file is generated when you save a template. The tco folder is not related to the templates.

There is a way in WordPress to save time. We cannot discuss it here in the forum though as it’s not about our products. If you’re interested in knowing the solution, you might want to consider subscribing to our One premium support.

Thanks.

Sweet, I think I might just do that; making Docker files to support this flow sure does generate a lot of questions.

Thanks for the info.

You’re most welcome.
