Learning: System Templates

When eZ publish is not simply displaying content, it’s performing some functionality and will use a system template.

There are default templates for all views of functionality provided by eZ publish. The default templates are located in the “templates” directory of the standard design.

A view typically uses a template that has the same name as the view. It will also be in a directory of the same as the module that the view belongs to.

Eg.

Name:

Module/view (URL):

Template:
