Create a template override for the front-end article manager

The Form2Content front-end article manager is improving all the time and we try to include as many optional settings as possible. Nevertheless there can always be situations in which further changes are needed. This can be done via a template override.

F2C Article Manager template override

When a template override is used the component can still be updated without consequences for the changes. If the file(s) in the component are changed it is called a hack and changes are likely to be lost after an upgrade.

File location of the F2C article manager layout

Copy the file found under:
< root >/components/com_form2content/views/forms/tmpl/default.php

And place it in:
< template >/html/com_form2content/forms/default.php

File location of the F2C article (form) layout

Copy the file found under:
< root >/components/com_form2content/views/form/tmpl/default.php

And place it in:
< template >/html/com_form2content/form/default.php

In Form2Content for Joomla 1.6 the file for the form view is called edit.php
