re[2]: [Phpwebsite-developers] Directory structure for themes and templates

[Geoff S. <ge...@ho...>]

Eloi:

Now, I am truly confused. I figured that the reason for having the theme and =
template files in, for example, the calendar module directories was so that I =
could customize the look of the calendar separately. If the system looks in the =
theme directory and then in the mod directory, how do you customize an =
individual module? This seems backwards to me.

But, this still doesn't address the issue of having these files that get =
written distributed across the directory structure. This seems to be =
architecturally weird - sort of like mixing programs and data in the same =
directories.
