With the garden blog running<\/a>, change its home page. For the blog<\/code> skeleton used in this walkthrough, the file is apps_user\/garden\/priv\/templates\/home.tpl<\/code>.<\/p>\n

  1. Open that file in your editor on your computer.<\/li>
  2. Find {% block content %}<\/code> and add this paragraph immediately below it, before the existing content:<\/li><\/ol>\n
    <p>{_ Welcome to the community garden. _}<\/p>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    1. Save the file. In a container setup, the edited checkout is already mounted into the container.<\/li>
    2. Reload the home page<\/a>. Expect Welcome to the community garden.<\/strong> above the blog content.<\/li><\/ol>\n
      You have now built Zotonic, created a site, and changed a rendered page. Try changing the sentence once more to see the edit–reload cycle.<\/p>\n
      If the change does not appear, check that you edited apps_user\/garden<\/code>, not _build<\/code>, and that the browser uses the garden hostname. Check file watching<\/a> and the development logs for template errors. Sites created with a different skeleton may use another template; use template selection<\/a> to find it.<\/p>\n
      Continue with Add your first dynamic page<\/a> when you want to create a new route.<\/p>"}},"category_id":{"id":317,"is_a":["meta","category"],"name":"developerguide","title":"Developer guide","uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/developerguide"},"content_group_id":{"id":339,"is_a":["meta","content_group"],"name":"default_content_group","title":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"Default Content Group"}},"uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/default_content_group"},"created":"2026-10-07T11:12:55Z","creator_id":{"id":1,"is_a":["person"],"name":"administrator","title":"Site Administrator","uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/1"},"doc_editorial_bundle":true,"doc_editorial_edges":{"subject":[2553,2563,2613,2620,2641]},"is_authoritative":true,"is_dependent":false,"is_featured":false,"is_protected":false,"is_published":true,"is_unfindable":false,"language":["en"],"modified":"2026-10-07T11:13:36Z","modifier_id":{"id":1,"is_a":["person"],"name":"administrator","title":"Site Administrator","uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/1"},"name":"developer_first_template_change","pivot_geocode":null,"pivot_location_lat":null,"pivot_location_lng":null,"privacy":0,"publication_end":"9999-06-01T00:00:00Z","publication_start":"2026-10-07T11:12:55Z","slug":"change-a-template-and-see-the-result","summary":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"Make a small visible change before building a larger feature."}},"title":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"Change a template and see the result"}},"title_slug":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"change-a-template-and-see-the-result"}},"tz":"UTC","uri":null,"version":17,"visible_for":0},"uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/2915","uri_template":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/:id","websub":{"hub":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/.zotonic\/websub","topic":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/.zotonic\/websub\/topic\/2915"}},"status":"ok"}
