[Xerte-dev] Re: latest 2.1 code issue with site template on upgraded install?

[Pat @ Pgogy]

1) Can't remember - right click and look through the DIV id names
2) I don't think you can delete a template from management, I think so
people's projects aren't broken if some one deletes the template
3) I think template details has xerte and nottingham entries - or is just
Nottingham
