Hi James,

You can start in extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates. It might be smart to enable template debugging in the back end, this also displays templates files used on your site.

Thanks Robin. You have helped to lower my blood pressure. I was really frustrated.

is Template Debugging done in the admin area or via code?

Hi James,

If you login to the back end, look on the right. There should be a debug block showing with some checkboxes to enable template debugging.

Hi,

Enable that template debug and the used/active design should show.

Hi James and welcome in the eZ Community,

For a start, in order to set your eZ Publish instance to debug mode, here are the few lines you can place at the beginning of the 'settings/override/site.ini.append.php' :

[DebugSettings]
DebugOutput=enabled

[TemplateSettings]
Debug=enabled
ShowXHTMLCode=disabled
ShowUsedTemplates=enabled
DevelopmentMode=enabled

[ContentSettings]
ViewCaching=disabled

These settings should only be used when developing, and by no means on a production setup. After altering the settings and clearing the caches (from the back-office, right-column), you will see a few new things when loading a page, among them the list of templates used to build the page, at the very bottom of the page. This will give you the paths you are currently looking for.

Also, for daily reference and continuous learning, you may want to have a look at the eZ Publish online documentation, and particularly the

  • concepts and basics section : http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/concepts_and_basics
  • templates : http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/templates
  • template engine reference, all menu subentries starting with "Template" there : http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/reference

Keep us posted on your progress, we like helping people get addicted to eZ Publish :)
Cheers,
