Introduction

Editing The HTML

In the folder /html you will find all the content templates for the site.

Template URL paths

When editing a path to a file there are 3 types of paths, use the first one to access theme files and use the other two to access files outside of the theme. For example if we where editing the public.html template:

1. Theme Relative: ./css/somefile.css would be translated into http://domain.com/html/public/css/somefile.css
2. Full Path 1: css/somefile.css would be translated into http://domain.com/css/somefile.css
3. Full Path 2: /css/somefile.css would be translated into http://domain.com/css/somefile.css
