Re: Which files to edit what?

[Joachim Müller]

edit themes/yourtheme/template.html for basic changes to the appearance of the page (e.g. for adding a static image as site banner). Editing with a WYSIWYG editor is not recommended, as some of those editors (especially MS frontpage) tend to "beautify" the code they find without notifying the user, sometimes "crippling" vital parts of the template beyond repair. I suggest you try editing template.html with your editor, but create a backup copy of this file first in case anything goes wrong. You mustn't edit any other coppermine files with a graphical editor like frontpage.
