Where is the article template file?

Hi R

If you want to see which templates are in use turn these settings on in Quicksettings for your siteaccess.

Template debug
Inline template debug

I think you will have to override the template. One way to start is to copy the present one to somewhere in your siteaccess overrides, override the original and then edit the copy. Bear in mind though, that that many of the generic templates may seem pretty complicated as they are designed to work in any situation. If you write your own from scratch you can write specifically for your use-case.

Take a look at 'building an EzPublish site'

for some basics.

It will tell you which directory the templates are kept. Bear in mind that a lot of the templates are nested, so look for the one which encapsulates your content.

When you do create an override be aware that it's better for the override to have a different name, and be in a different directory (/my siteaccess/override/templates/my_custom_templates rather than /my siteaccess/override/templates/content/view -or whatever) to that of the original.

For anyone else who may find this thread looking for this information. The summary in article full view and image in article full view can simply be toggled from content.ini from your site settings-ini section in the Admin area without doing any override templates. Cool :)
