Strider Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Look in the crystal skin folder, that is where the layout.tpl file is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks but what i need to know is how to make one. I hvave read through the docs but found it quite confusing. thanks chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Why do you need to make one? Your question is not very clear. Have a look at the layout.tpl and see how it is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Then you don't need to create a new layout.tpl, just use the one in the crystal skin. All the layout tpl does is have the header, a place holder for the main part of the site, and the footer. You edit the other templates to get them to look the same. You don't create a new layout.tpl file everytime you design a new skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
