Monday 18 June 2007 3:03:45 am Site Package - a package you choose during installation Template - a file with tpl filename, it controls the output. witch template to use is controlled by the template override system. Output is mostly (x)html, but it could have been xml or something else if you wanted to. Website Interface - A site package included in Exponential 3.9 and up, it lets you edit content on the front end of your site true a interface, 'front end' is commonly referred to as the website in Exponential, hence the name. Site Style - A specific style/theme for your site using css and images, on ez.no you can find several site style packages that let you install site styles in the admin. Theme - I don't think Exponential uses the name theme anywhere, if it does it is probably referring to Site Style. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom

Site Package - a package you choose during installation

Template - a file with tpl filename, it controls the output. witch template to use is controlled by the template override system. Output is mostly (x)html, but it could have been xml or something else if you wanted to.

Website Interface - A site package included in Exponential 3.9 and up, it lets you edit content on the front end of your site true a interface, 'front end' is commonly referred to as the website in Exponential, hence the name.

Site Style - A specific style/theme for your site using css and images, on ez.no you can find several site style packages that let you install site styles in the admin.

Theme - I don't think Exponential uses the name theme anywhere, if it does it is probably referring to Site Style.
