How to override template ?

Component :  For component template overriding you need to go in your front side component folder and then click on /com_content(component name)/views/article(template name)/tmpl and copy this files to your mail template /templates/beez3(main template name)/html/com_content/article(component template name)/…. past your files here…

So you need to copy files from : /components/com_content(component name)/views/article(template name)/tmpl/..
Past to : /templates/beez3(main template name)/html/com_content/article(component template name)/..

After you can customize that file in your main template html folder as you want !

Module:  For module template overriding you need to go in modules folder and then click on /mod_articles_latest(module name)/tmpl and copy this files to your mail template /templates/beez3(main template name)/html/mod_articles_latest/…. past your files here…

So you need to copy files from : /modules/mod_articles_latest(module name)/tmpl/..
Past to : /templates/beez3(main template name)/html/mod_articles_latest/..

After you can customize that file in your main template html folder as you want !
