There is one major template file for each site. Which file to use can be configured with the skin/tmpl-tag in site.xml. Usually named "site.tmpl" and locate in BASEDIR/template/site.tmpl

Template Modifier

One big feature of patTemplate are template variable modifiers. patTemplate comes with a bunch of generic modifiers (see ) that makes it very easy to format unix-timestamp human readable etc. Besides Wombat brings additional modifiers, those are general purpose modfiers as well, still, they only make sense in a Wombat-Environment.

• The Clicktext modifier makes plain text clickable. It seeks for anything that looks like an URL and turns it to links. Also it adds HTML-brakes <:br /> for each newline.
• Wxml This modifier transforms Wombat's internal content-XML format to proper HTML. Use this modifier wherever you display content created with rich text editor.
• Vfsfile Helps you creating URLs, image-tags or embedded content out of VFSFile-ids.
• Data implements a very simple access method to fields stored in database. E.g. this modifier can resolve user's id to user's nickname.
