NYCPHP Meetup

[David Roth]

Hi Donna.

I had no intention of modifying core files, I'm studying merely trying
to see how it works to adapt the methods elsewhere.

Yes, there is a 'html' in the templates which are provided by
YouJoomla (YouPlus template). However, when I have renamed them to see
the effect, it only slightly changed the look of "Site Contact", but
it didn't break the page and the functionality of it stayed the same.
