I am finding i need some help in navigating the structure and logic here in ZC. I have a single column design that needs to be "zennified"and I have the main page pretty much conforming to the spec I have been given. It calls for unique background images for each subsequent category page and each of them will simply use a grid of photos and descriptions, etc. of their respective products. To set each of their bg-images i need to style the #mainWrapper directive per category page.

Q1. What is the voodoo that involves creation of the appropriate directories corresponding to the category names where their respective templates live? If there is such a voodoo? In other words can ZC look info my includes/templates/my_template_name/templates/ and upon finding directory names matching my categories proceed along that path for its override files? I think I read something to that effect in the copious documentation here.

Q2. the construct "Loaded by main_page=index?cPathx" which appears in the comments of several of the template files - is set where?
I looked in tpl_main_page.php but it's not clear to me which cPath belongs to what. Or is this another red herring?


Q3. how to isolate my css so they are page or category-specific?


I'm either trapped as a prisoner in a fortune cookie factory, or
truly
eyeless in gaza.
