Hi. I'm getting the same error message:
Default template applied to "". Please ask administrator to create a template for this publication type.Default template applied to "(name of Publication)". Please ask administrator to create a template for this publication type.Default template applied to "". Please ask administrator to create a template for this publication type.
I've followed the manual and tutorial step by step -- I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I created a template and named it recipes-full.tpl (recipes being the name of the Publication Type I created. That didn't work -- I still get the error message.
I also looked for a header and footer templates as mentioned above. I found a header.tpl and footer.tpl in \smarty-2.6.0\demo\templates. Were the templates supposed to be copied into some other folder? I do, of course, have the header.php and footer.php files that were part of the PostNuke installation.
