Chuck Knight	Monday 12 January 2004 3:20:14 pm Scenario eZp 3.3 - Use Admin interface - Setup section, Template list (screen divided in two halves). Problems: * Every page after the first (there are 37 pages of templates) displays the same half page of "Common templates" shown in the first page PLUS a different half page of "Other". That is quite strange, because it makes paging through all the other templates at least twice as hard... Is that the intended behavior (a corner cut to save having to deal with the special case of the first page versus all the others) or do I have a bug in my install? * I Search for a template by "template_name.tpl", leaving the front-end qualifiers out, because I don't know where that template is. The search doesn't find it, but I find it by inspection (after 33 pages of paging down :( ). Again, is there anything broken, or will the search ONLY find a fully qualified name (that is, with directory path in front)? Thanks for any help Cheers ck

Nope this is pretty much how it's supposed to look :) I know it's bloody annoying, but for some reason this is the way it's done. >> or will the search ONLY find a fully qualified name (that is, with directory path in front) I don't think the file names are a searchable field I'm afraid, so it won't be found. Again pretty annoying, but this is the way it is. Suggestion: If you can't find the template you need on the first page or 2 just use an editor, such as Kate or vi (or notepad if using Windows) to copy and paste code from one file to another and edit etc. Editors also have several advantages over the web based admin interface anyway. ~James~

Hi again Chuck,

I don't think the file names are a searchable field I'm afraid, so it won't be found. Again pretty annoying, but this is the way it is.

Suggestion:

If you can't find the template you need on the first page or 2 just use an editor, such as Kate or vi (or notepad if using Windows) to copy and paste code from one file to another and edit etc. Editors also have several advantages over the web based admin interface anyway.
