Two days ago the widely known Webdesigner Wolfgang Bartelme (Austria) made his previous theme available under the creative commons licence.

I tried to port this wonderful and fresh Template to ELGG. There is still a lot work to do until it looks exactly like the original but its a start (I would tag it as beta version) . (See it in action at My Blog)

In the originial design the Date and the number of Comments is located at different places (have a look at this). I don't know how to do that in ELGG, or even if it's possible at the moment, because there is no different placeholder for these elements.

The build in search form also doesn't work and the formatting of the Comments (and the Commentform) still needs to be done (have a look at the detailpage).

Another problem are the images. I located them on my own server, not inside of ELGG because i don't know how to do that.

If you have any suggestions or want the code feel free to send me a mail.

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how templates work and I have found my way so far in modifying most of the elements of a template.

But there is still one thing that I can't understand:

Let's say we are not happy with the sidebar blocks (on the right of the template). We want to modify them. Then we go to the template default file and we find a {{sidebar}} tag which displays all the blocks in a certain order.

If I want to modify one special block. Then it's quite easy to find the file to be edited. I make a little search in the unit dir.

But if I want to modify, let's say, the order of the blocks (or if I want to add or delete a block), then I need to figure out where the {{sidebar}} part is defined. My problem is that I can't understand where and how these components - {{sidebar}} {{location}} ... - are defined.

Any help would be appreciated
