That's the spirit. Don't give up! :-)

We could give the bloke access to the administration interface of the TSCM site. This could be done either by creating a new login/user called "clubhead" or by simply giving away the login/password combination of the admin user.

eZ publish is capable of handling/running several sites from within the same installation. This is achieved through the siteaccess subsystem. This system makes it possible to handling/host multiple sites including multiple administration interfaces. See? There is no problem to set up 4 sites with for example 6 administration interfaces (assuming that 2 of the sites need two different admin interfaces).

As for the template-question: the template-override part of the web-based administration interface isn't 100% user friendly, it will be improved in the future. Some people find it easier to use and to understand than manipulating the override file manually. This is why we've used it within the first parts of the tutorial. You can also set up the overrides by editing the "override.ini.append" file of the siteaccess in question. This technique is described within the "Guestbook" part of the tutorial.

I hope this helps.
