Re: Things every New Zenner needs to know
And there are tutorials like that out there. (see my sig line) Or Google "Zen Cart Tutorials" and you'll find a bunch.
The e-Start book is a great starting point -- and a great reference book. But there comes a time when you have to decide what does and doesn't go in a book. And As it is, it's what, 400 pages? The author couldn't cover every aspect of templates because they are themselves weighty topics. I highly recommend it to everyone just starting out with Zen Cart, because it will answer, for most people, 90% of their questions when they're setting up their cart. (There's always the odd question that isn't in there. There are too many differences with server configurations, etc. not to have questions outside the "norm.") Once you are ready to go forth and customize, however, you might need extra assistance, depending on your skill level.
I also suggest going to the FAQ page (link at the top of the page) and looking through there. Quite a bit of good information there too on where to find files, the template override system basics, etc.
