Hi

I have been using easy blog for quite some time now and template overring it something I use with every build I do. However I can't seem to figure out how to do it in the latest version. In the documentation it says:

This file
/components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.latest.php

Is overriden like this
/templates/mytemplate/html/com_easyblog/blog.latest.php

However there is no such thing as the default theme in the new version of easyblog. I am trying to override the frontpage theme which I believe is located here:

com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.main.php

Which I am trying to override like this but it doesn't seem to work:

templates/templatename/html/com_easyblog/default.main.php

Could you please explain how tmeplate overriding work now because the documenation doens't seem to be correct.
Hi

I have now figured out how the new overriding works.

This file:
com_easyblog/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.main.php

Is actually overridden like this:
templates/templatename/com_easyblog/blogs/latest/default.main.php

Could the documentation please be updated because I have wasted an hour of my day this morning thinking that stackideas would actually provide correct information in their updated documentations.....

Hi Fever,

Thank you for the heads up on this issue. The example path is actually for easyblog 3.9 and I just forwarded this issue to our person that handle our documentation content and they will update it as soon as possible. Thank you for your kind understanding.
