+<h2>Template Extension Configuration</h2>
-<h3>Goal</h3>
-<p>Define replacement conditions for each template from template-extension
-(template called "replacer").</p>
+<h3>About</h3>
+<p>Your Piwigo gallery can be customised by replacing existing template files with customised versions. For example, the default header template (header.tpl) can be replaced by a customised header template (my-header.tpl). After submitting the changes to the database the gallery will display the customised header instead of the original header.<br>
+Template extensions are a powerful way to create customised themes for both new and advanced users. Used together with the LocalFiles Editor you can create your own child themes.</p>
-<p>"original template" from ./themes/default/template (or any other theme)
- will be replaced by a "replacer" if the replacer is linked to this "original template"
- (and optionally, when the requested URL contains an "optional URL keyword").</p>
+<h3>Original Template</h3>
+<p>A theme contains a number of template files that make up the gallery pages. These are the original templates.</p>
-<p>"Optional URL keywords" are those you can find after the module name in URLs.</p>
+<h3>Optional URL Keyword</h3>
+<p>These are words found in the gallery URL after the module name. They can also be active permalinks (See the permalink documentation for more information). <a href="#warnings">WARNING:</a> if the same original template and same keyword is used on more than one customised template only the last one is active.</p>
-<p>Therefore "Optional URL keywords" can be an active "permalink"
-(see permalinks in our documentation for further explanation).</p>
+<h3>Bound Theme</h3>
+<p>The bound theme is the theme from which the template files are being replaced.</p>

-<h3>What are template extensions?</h3>
-
-<p>This configuration tool is powerfull for beginners and advanced users.
-By FTP, in the template-extension folder, the Webmaster can duplicate a lot of
- the distributed .tpl files ("original template") with a different name
- ("replacer").
-
- "Original templates", current original supported templates are:</p>
+<h3>Where are the original templates?</h3>
+<p>Original templates are the template files shipped with each theme. These are saved in <em>/themes/default/template</em> (or <em>themes/<theme name>/template</em>). These template files should not be edited in place as changes will be lost with theme upgrades.<br>
+Supported original templates include:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="filename">index.tpl</span></li>
<li><span class="filename">mainpage_categories.tpl</span> and/or <span class="filename">thumbnails.tpl</span></li>

<li><span class="filename">identification.tpl</span> and/or <span class="filename">register.tpl</span></li>
<li><span class="filename">redirect.tpl</span></li>
</ul>
+<h3>Saving customised templates</h3>
+<p>Customised templates should be saved in the template-extension folder or subfolders. For example, <em>/template-extension/my-default/header.tpl</em> (or <em>/template-extension/<my-theme-name>/header.tpl</em>) Template files can have any name with a .tpl extension. The template files in subfolders appear in the Template configuration screen as available custom templates.</p>
+<h3>Activating customised templates</h3>
+<p>Select the original template to replace. Optionally choose a URL keyword to ensure that the customised template is only shown on pages with that keyword. Select a bound theme and the changes will be effective on that theme. Submit the changes to the database.</p>
+<h3>Deactivating customised templates</h3>
+<p>Unselect the original template and submit the changes to the database.<br>
+Delete the customised template files from the template-extension folder.</p>
-<h3>Where can I find "original templates"?</h3>
-
-<p>Distributed original templates are in /themes/default/template/
-(don't edit them in place for upgrade perspectives). So with "original templates",
-any webmaster can create his "replacers (customized templates)".</p>
-
-<h3>Where should I save "replacers"?</h3>
-
-<p><strong>Replacers (customized templates)</strong> must be placed in the
-template-extension folder (or its subfolders).
-Replacers can have any filename with the .tpl extension. For example: <span
-class="filename">template-extension/my-extension/video.tpl</span>.</p>
-
-
-<h3>How can I activate my "replacers"?</h3>
-<p>An <strong>original template</strong> should be assigned to each
- <strong>replacer (customized templates)</strong> to activate the related replacements.
- This is the goal of "Extend for templates" in the Configuration Administration menu.</p>
-
-<p>If you select an <strong>optional URL keyword</strong> then replacements
-will be operate only on pages with this keyword. For example: <span
- class="pwgScreen">index.php?/<strong>most_visited</strong></span></p>
-
-<p>Advanced users will use permalinks as <strong>optional URL keyword</strong>. </p>
-
-<p>If you select a <strong>Bound template</strong> then replacements will be operate only on this template.</p>
-
-<h3>How can I deactivate my "replacers"?</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Unselect related "Original templates".</li>
-<li>By FTP delete of "replacers".</li>
-</ul>
