I know, it sounds silly now, but there are index.php files sprinkled all through the directory structure. None of the forum posts I looked at mentioned which one to look at. I figured such a simple search would easily find the file without having to manually dig through the directory structure. So, when WinXP told me the text did not exist anywhere in the wb file structure, I didn't look further.
Sure, it is obvious if you know where to look, but not if you're not familiar with WB. The installation process automatically puts the files in the template directory. I didn't have to look there myself until now.

Hello,
please read the posts above. We talked about the index.php of the your template.
So where could this file be? right in the templates directory. ok and you may say now where? Wich template we talk about? Multiflex3 right. Damm i found the correct index.php in templates/multiflex3 directory without using the fu....ing search of XP, only with 2 seconds in my mind. :-D
And please also don't use the XP editors for editing files. Try a product like notepad++ or whatever. Using XP will let you run in the next issues.

But this template is not part of the default install, so you must have downloaded it to your pc. That was the place you should have looked. It has nothing to do with the map on the server where WB puts it (although it's pretty obvious that it's the template folder, of course). If you customize a template, you do that locally. So there is no "digging through the directory structure", you just go the folder where you have put it locally :-). It makes sense to put it into the templates folder to begin with of course...
I suggest you read http://help.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/en/basic-docu.php before doing anything else. You really should have a basic idea of how WB operates.

Guys, guys, you're being a little rough here.
I never said I couldn't find the index file in the (Multiflex) template directory.
But I had done a search for the text I was looking for (including that directory), and the search said the text wasn't there.
So I was 100% positive that the answer to -my- question wasn't there. So I concentrated on looking at other areas.
The reason I was mentioned the uncertainty of the location of the index file is that I know other users have asked similar questions, and having gone through their experience, I can see why they had problems as well. (FYI: only an uploaded zip file is used to install the template - the process does not tell a new user where the unzipped files are saved, even though I knew where.)
I was told before I posted that this was not a friendly forum. I guess I can't complain, since I was warned.
In any case, thanks for helping me determine that the WinXP search still has a bug, since that was my main problem.

Sorry if it sounds for you as rough. Wasn't meant this way, thought it more a little bit funny. So if this was misunderstood i wanna say again sorry. I personally try to not use Bill Gates software as exactly for the reason you wrote.

If you stay here a little bit longer you will see 98% of the users here are very friendly and helpful. There are only few wich are not friendly and a few like me wich sounds not friendly because of lacks in their english.
