Pascal Specht	Monday 11 May 2009 7:41:22 am Hi Kathy, These templates are not design templates that you could choose like a skin for your website. These templates are the basic bricks that are used when rendering content: you'll find there for example a /shop/basket.tpl which serves the shopping cart rendering etc. What you can do from here is doing a new override of an existing template, so that you can customize the way things are rendered. This can become quite complicated or confusing when one starts with eZ Publish, so just be warned that this will require some indepth knowledge of the eZ Publish template system and its langage. Best regards, Pascal

Hi Kathy,

These templates are not design templates that you could choose like a skin for your website. These templates are the basic bricks that are used when rendering content: you'll find there for example a /shop/basket.tpl which serves the shopping cart rendering etc. What you can do from here is doing a new override of an existing template, so that you can customize the way things are rendered. This can become quite complicated or confusing when one starts with eZ Publish, so just be warned that this will require some indepth knowledge of the eZ Publish template system and its langage.
