Customizing K2 using sub-templates was created by Chris Hogan
Hello,
I have followed this article about sub-temps: article
But I'm trying to figure out why....my newly created sub-templates (created in FileZilla) are not displaying in K2 Joomla backend they should?
Can you also tell me why it this is done via a ftp client as. I can create sub-templates quite easily whilst in K2 in the Joomla backend??
Thanks,
Chris H.
PS: my file path to the sub-template in filezilla can be seen here - LINK

Hello Chris,
If you cannot see that template in the category's or the menu item's settings then double check your file/ folder permissions. They should be 644/755.
are not displaying in K2 Joomla backend they should?

Hi there - Yes it looks ok already at my end with those permissions and I still only see the two 'test' categorys I setup in Joomla itself -
SCREENSHOT
The 'testblog' I setup in the ftp backend does not show up? Again can you also possible tell me why it this is done via a ftp client as. I can create sub-templates quite easily whilst in K2 in the Joomla backend??
Thank you.

Hello again and thanks for pointing that out....I see where it is now!
Question: So If I want to change the look I do this via the item.php files? If so is there a guide on this part of it!
Thanks

This is completely up to you I am afraid, since this is CSS/ HTML with some PHP there are no limitations on what you can achieve.
The only thing you need to do before overriding is read through the php file.
This will help you understand each block's functionality.
