The thing about template files in Siena is that they can be in multiple locations. This has the advantage that you can use custom tpl files for extensions (modules or plugins), without overwriting the originals. This makes it possible to easily update an extension's files without the risk of losing your custom templates. Also it allows theme designers to include custom tpls for certain extensions within the theme itself, rather than include seperate tpls which must be copied to extension folders.

Thats what I wanted was the custom tpl files in my own theme folder so I don't have to go edit defaults. Thank you very much. 

 

Trustmaster: thank you very much for that. You guys have very good documention now that ive discovered it and thank you. I'll be taking full advantage of Siena and will work on fully getting my normal template over to Siena. The extra work is worth it. The genoa site i have up can be temporary. 

 

Thanks guys.
