Well, I'm actually not sure what the "webapp's classpath" is, but it
seems I Have managed to put the templates there (/WEB-INF/classes -
that sounds like the perfect place for that, right?).
I know that for sure now since I actually managed to change a small
thing in my theme which is visible! - In the "submit.ftl" of my theme
(a copy of the one from xhtml) I changed the align value from
"${parameters.align?html}" to "left" and that worked!!
So the problem is something about the template code and not about the
location. I just don't know where to start to solve it. Could there be
any other files than "controlheader-core.ftl" and "controlfooter.ftl"
that I need to change?
As you could see I attached those files in my last email, but maybe
it's too much to ask if you could read through them and try to see if
something is wrong..? (But it shouldn't be, though, since those files
look exactly like the files in that tutorial. I think I'll try to ask
the writer of the tutorial too.)
Anyway, I would be really grateful for some more help with this since
it's completely new and confusing to me.
Thanks!
