Hi, I have gone through the tutorial for creating custom templates, And i have managed to find out some of the capabilities jahia provides. But still i am not able to find out the basic concepts like if i create a template and choose it to create a page after adding it using the manage templates.
If i want my template to contain a text box and a dropdown box and nothing else how do i do it.. What i always find out it its giving me options to add a box on a page, add a banner. add content and i always get option to add text, add image, align, metadata. so i fail to understand the real concept of creating a custom template. because every time i am getting all the options... For sure i am doing some thing wrong..... please help regards nitin Romain Felden wrote: > > Hi, > > The directory shared_templates is read once at startup.
