I am having trouble figuring out how assigning a new section to your folder(s) in the admininstrative piece actually changes the look of that site. How is the section name/ID/whatever tied to some sort of page layout or such?

Hi,

the answer on how to assign sections is here:

http://ez.no/sdk/tutorials/view/permissions/

Basically, you go the the set-up section of the admin interface create the sections and then click on assign, browse folders and select to assign to that object+subfolders/objects

As for the sections <-> layout, it is exactly as John said. In site.ini(.php) you specify which design folder is used for your site. You would create a new design folder for any custom site you make. First, ez publish looks for
<yourdesign>/override/templates/pagelayout_section_N.tpl where N is the current section number. If not found it looks for <yourdesign>/templates/pagelayout.tpl for the general layout/css etc.

If that is not found, it looks for the default design specified in the site.ini(.php). That should be "./standard/...".

For more info take a look at
