Were are all the default located in the file structure? Like for example if I'm going to edit the categories page, for single categories listing.

I think I Figured it out. Inside the wireframe template?

Copied
/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/categories/default.sinple.php
To
/templates/"my-template"/blogs/categories/default.sinple.php

At-least it helped me figure out how to get started , on overriding the template files.

Do you have a library of some sort, or a compressed file with all the defaults for the templates I can download? Folder humping inside the file structure of the page, is an pain in the ass, and I'm to lazy my self to organize it.
Thanks for the heads up on this Jostein. EasyBlog has been storing it's theme files in /components/com_easyblog/themes/ all these while. We'll take note of that in our documentation.

By default, other themes will inherit theme files from the "wireframe" theme if the files doesn't exist in the respective theme folder. In your case, origami only overrides a single file which is default.main.php. The rest of the files would be inherited from the wireframe theme.

Hey Jostein,

To override a theme file from EasyBlog into your Joomla template, you need to copy the structure into /templates/JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/com_easyblog/

What I'm looking for was "Whats the location of the default theme files for easyblog." Or perhaps a zip file of all the theme files, for easier pasting into the html folder of my templates.

Hey Jostein,

I am not entirely sure what are you referring to but by default if you are using the wireframe theme, all the theme files are located in /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/

Example Categories:

In most components, I usually find the default.php in /com_easyblog/views/Categories/tmpl/.

But in easyblog i had to go and look for it elsewhere, since that folder only contains xml files.

At the moment I'm copying the files i need to create overrides. From: com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/ to my /html/ folder in the template file structure. I dont use the wireframe theme, I use the origami theme. But the only overrides I can find there are the "default.main.php" for Latest.

Think You need to improve the guide for the override template, its really unclear on were you can find the files in the easyblog file structure. And for users like me its impossible to create a template override, whiteout the original default.php file. I Spend a couple of hours just trying to figure out the simplest thing, "were can I find the original file to modify the Category view"

FYI .. I would add the following to this page .. makes thinks a bit clearer ... (http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/customizations/template-overriding)

By default, other themes will inherit theme files from the "wireframe" theme if the files doesn't exist in the respective theme folder. In your case, origami only overrides a single file which is default.main.php. The rest of the files would be inherited from the wireframe theme.

if you need to create overrides. From: com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/ to my /html/ folder in the template file structure, inlcudeing the diriectory name.
