The Template Manager (Site | Template Manager) is the place where templates are administered. You will find a manager for the Site Templates, which determine the appearance of the front end and thus are clearly the more important templates. Whenever we just call them "templates", in this context, we always mean site templates. Administrator Templates are designed for the administration interface and are explained in the Administrator Templates section. We will be discussing administrator templates only in that section in this book. We will stick to the standard administrator template that comes with Mambo for the rest of the book.

You can install as well as administer both kinds of templates. And last but not least, you can determine the module positions, which are the placeholders inside the templates; more about that in the Edit Template section.
