Sorry for bringing out this simple question, but I couldn't any help in the 'developer' area.

Hi Sam,

look in the customization section of the docs. The developer section deals with extending the system, not customizing/creating templates. And be sure to read up on the basics (general) to know which is which and learn the terminology. :-)

You have two ways of creating and editing templates. Either you go directly to the /design directory and use your favorite text editor to edit the templates. Or you go to the admin site and select set-up > templates.

The template system uses a default + override mechanism, with overrides being defined in an ini (override.ini). If you don't understand that, start here

http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/installation_and_configuration/configuration/configuration_files

and if you have any questions, come back and ask.
