Customization

This page may be customized using the Joomla layout override system.  You need to be able to create new files and edit them on your web hosting site using FTP or other tools that are available to you (contact your web host if you need more information).

All file paths are relative to the directory in which Joomla is installed.  When looking a files you need to create, it is assumed that you will create the necessary folders if they don't already exist in each case.  The directory default_template refers to the template that is set as the default for your site.  Please replace this name with the actual name of the template directory.

To create the layout override for this page, find one or more of the following files:

/components/com_zine/views/articles/tmpl/landing.php
/components/com_zine/views/articles/tmpl/landing_article_links.php
/components/com_zine/views/articles/tmpl/landing_category_links.php
/components/com_zine/views/articles/tmpl/landing_item.php

Copy it/them to (respectively):

/templates/default_template/html/com_zine/articles/landing.php
/templates/default_template/html/com_zine/articles/landing_article_links.php
/templates/default_template/html/com_zine/articles/landing_category_links.php
/templates/default_template/html/com_zine/articles/landing_item.php

Make the desired adjustments to the source code to the new file you created and then save it.  Your changes should be reflected when you refresh the appropriate page.
