Module templates

There can be several templates of representation for each module. An existence of a Default template is obligatory, as it is used by default.

CMS system determines which template to use to display a specific menu item as follows:

It is determined a module type of the menu item;
It is determined a skin for the given menu item;
If not the Default skin is used for this menu item, the CMS system looks in a templates folder of this module for a template with the same name, as a skin Theme name applied to the menu item;
If the CMS system finds no template with a Theme name, the Default theme is used (default.ascx file).

You can have an unlimited number of templates for any module

For example:
There is a menu item "MyItem" on your site. To this item it is applied MyGreen skin, which uses a MyGreen.master masterpage and MyGr theme.
By request to this menu item it will be searched a module template with named MyGr.ascx, and then named Default.ascx.
