Template overrides allow for the customization any layout provided by a PostNuke module or block. Two types of template overrides exist: global and theme specific.
Global template overrides
Global template overrides allow the customization of a piece of layout for all themes. Global template overrides exist so that pieces of layout can be altered without having to modify the base template supplied by the module to ensure that no changes are lost during upgrades of PostNuke and/or the module.
Global template override are located the directory config/templates/<template path>
The template path will depend on the exact template being overridden. For example to override the template
modules/Example/pntemplates/example_user_display.htm
create a new template in
config/templates/Example/
i.e. the new template is
config/templates/Example/example_user_display.htm
Theme specifc template overrides
Theme specific template overrides allow for the customization of a piece of layout for one theme only. Most themes will supply some default theme specific template overrides - usually for the News module. Theme specific overrides allow for a theme to provide a completely different look and feel to a site.
Theme specific template overrides are located in the directory
themes/<theme name>/templates/modules/<template path>
Again the template path is dependent on the template being overriden. Using the same example to override the template
modules/Example/pntemplates/example_user_display.htm
for the theme 'andreas08' create the new template in
themes/andreas08/templates/modules/Example/
i.e. the new template is
themes/andreas08/templates/modules/Example/example_user_display.htm
