Hello DymDym

If you install the Agile Records theme EE will automatically install some sample template groups and templates for you. These are sometimes useful if you are learning EE because they show give you some template tags and settings to play with - you can delete the Agile theme later and replace with your own templates.

If you do not install the Agile theme you will start with no templates and have to build them yourself.

If this is your first EE site I suggest installing the Agile theme and play with it. Once you are confident you can simple delete those templates and create your own.

Hello bluedreamer,

Thanks. I just choose Agile and will learn 😉

When I have my own design (html and css) do I have to upload this in “theme/profile_themes/mydesign/” or “theme/site_themes/mydesign/”?

You will need to do either of these:

1. Create your new template groups and template in the template editor and copy/paste in your code

or

2. Use flat file templates and import them, see http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/templates/templates_as_files.html

Aha, thanks.

So if I want to upload via ftp I have to add it in system/expressionengine/templates/my_site_name/ folder?

DymDym,

yes that is correct. If you are not using MSM then your site name for the purposes of templates will be system/expressionengine/templates/default_site/

Is there anything else I can help you with?

bluedreamer, Thanks for the assist.

I want to add MSM later does this has any effect on the template folder?

DymDym,

No it does not. When you add MSM later your new sites’ templates will be in a folder with the same name as the sites short name.
