Basic Site Design: Complete Newbie question

Tuesday 01 August 2006 7:19:41 am

Hi, I am completely new to ezpublish and have been asked to set up a site using it.

I think I have my head around the structure of the data etc for the admin side but I am lost with the templates. I would really appreciate some guidance as this looks like a really good product and one I hope to be able to use for future clients.

I have a site which needs several types of page template. Each has a slightly different look.

The pages types I need are:

Home
Text
News
Events
Form

Each of these 5 types needs a slightly different look so I assume I need 5 page templates.

However, when I look at the example sites that come with the installation there appear to be hundreds of different template files.

If you could give me some simple steps to creating a site with 5 templates to follow I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

This is from an old documentation but I think it is still valid.

Give it a shot. It will clear a lot of your inquiries.
