[opencms-dev] lack of overview

[bub habub]

hi alex,

thanks for the help.

i tried to do what u said but i wonder if i put my
template in the wrong folder.
i put it in /system/workplace/templates/

actuall i created a new folder there and put my
template + images inside the folder.

when i want to create a new page the template doesn't
show the up in the drop down menu.

i must have done something wrong or my whole approach
is wrong.

can anyone help?

thank you

jap
