Is my template based on Classic or Template_Default?

I think we may have based our template on the classic template instead of the template_default but I'm not 100% sure. Can someone please have a look and let me know?

If we have done this incorrectly, is it a big problem and how would we go about fixing it?

Re: Is my template based on Classic or Template_Default?

looking at your page source this is the top level code generated:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/tatie/css/style_imagehover.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/tatie/css/stylesheet.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/tatie/css/stylesheet_css_buttons.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/tatie/css/stylesheet_new.css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/tatie/css/stylesheet_original.css" />

as you can see you have every style sheet available and being parsed; remove the stylesheet_original and the stylesheet_new form your tatie folder leaving the main stylesheet.css from the template_default set of files. Edit only this file for basic site styling.

Re: Is my template based on Classic or Template_Default?

"View source" shows that your site is built with tables within tables; therefore it is based on the Classic template, using stylesheet_new and stylesheet_original. Removing those would destroy the styling of the site. You should be able to remove stylesheet.css, although if you have edited it there may be some items it is controlling. Compare it to a clean copy in /template_default/ if you are not sure.

Your best option for long-term reliability is to make a clean new template based on template_default. Don't copy any files complete from /classic/ or /tatie/, but you can look at the stylesheets for reference on colors, sizes, etc. Classes and IDs will be different, especially compared to stylesheet_original.
It's a bunch of work, but will make future life easier.
