How the theme file is chosen to load

this page needs work...

zestoi first looks for template files in the current theme dir and then in the global zestoi/templates dir

by default the theme file index.php will be loaded for a grid or list of blog posts etc - and single.php is loaded for a single profile, single blog posts, etc etc

before loading those files (always defaults back to index.php btw if nothing else is found) it will now look for a file matching the 'name' in the urlconfig list

so for example if u wanted to do some different site layout stuff for a single blog article - you could define blog_article.php in the theme dir which would be loaded in preferance to single.php

this also allows you to load other custom pages if you need to load a custom php page, say for a search page or something bu defining a new rule like "search" in the urlconfig that maybe matches the rule "/search.html" and then creating the theme file search.php (rememering that the first "rule" that matches from top to bottom is the one that is used - so put specific rules closer to the top)
