Template Introduction
SEBLOD
1.x has a unique template engine in the world of Joomla. The template
engine is based on the template engine of Joomla that is largely
responsible for the success of commercial templates.
Template engine of SEBLOD 1.x inherits directly from Joomla template engine and so it integrate natively next update of Joomla template engine.
Templates of SEBLOD 1.x manage layouts of contents, forms and lists.
- Automatic Content Template: displays automatically a content with the values of selected fields from the "Content" tab in content type edition
- Automatic Form Template: displays automatically a form with the selected fields from the "Admin" or "Site" tab in content type edition
- Automatic List Template: displays automatically a list filtered by fields selected (see Search Type Manager)
- Custom Content Template: displays a content with the values of fields called in the template
- Custom Form Template: displays a form with the fields called in the template

Assign admin, site and content default template by editing the content type.
For beginning use only automatic template like "Default Form" template (for admin and/or site form) and "Default Content" template (to display content).
