Doug Brethower	Friday 30 April 2010 12:52:40 pm Welcome! The "Top Stories" in the right column, those blocks are edited within Home->Global Layout in the eZ Flow demo content structure. The blog right column and all layouts are created within the templates. Templates and how they combine is key to understanding presentation layouts in eZ. If you have much familiarity with template engines, a quick understanding of how eZ and the eZ Flow extensions work may come from setting debug to ON for everything except sql, load the pages and read the contents of the templates as they appear.

Olaf Fichtner	Friday 30 April 2010 8:34:00 pm Aaarrrggghhh, I always wondered what that "Global Layout" was good for, but never checked... Thanks! Yeah, it seems much can be done with the templates, so I will need to spend some more time on them. I only just started, and although I have been using PHP portals for a while, eZ Publish is a bit different, so I'm still a bit confused right now. But I have "debugged" before, so I'm optimistic... Thanks for the directions!

Welcome!

The "Top Stories" in the right column, those blocks are edited within Home->Global Layout in the eZ Flow demo content structure.

The blog right column and all layouts are created within the templates. Templates and how they combine is key to understanding presentation layouts in eZ.

If you have much familiarity with template engines, a quick understanding of how eZ and the eZ Flow extensions work may come from setting debug to ON for everything except sql, load the pages and read the contents of the templates as they appear.
