Also - I cannot find where a template is applied to a page.


When you create/edit a page in the Admin Console (either by right clicking on a
nav node and selecting "create" and then "HTML" - for example - or using the
overview panel) the first panel to appear has a drop-down for templates related
to that type called "Display Method".

These templates are stored in <your app>/webskin/<type>.

They have a specific naming convention (displaypage.........cfm for templates
that display in a page and displayteaser......cfm for templates that would more
be used in custom containers).  They also have a specific commenting style
(have a look inside one or two) that allow a more meaningful name to appear in
the drop-downs.

Mostly all of the templates also use two <CFMODULE> calls to include the sites
"header" and "footer" (yes, you can have more than one set of header/footer
files).  These are stored (for consistency) in <your app>/webskin/includes.

The TIP I am preparing for tomorrow (called Start Simple) it is actually going
to show the absolutely simplest template you can create.  It wont be out until
later in the evening unless I decide to get up early.
