does anyone know how EE determines the path to a given template group for modules. For example, I have installed a module and there are template files that it uses OUTSIDE of my templates directory that I use.
Not only am I trying to understand how this works, but also how to remove reference to that so that I can move those templates to my own directory.
Hmm. I'm pretty sure that sort of information would most likely exist within each module's folder. If you're using EE2.X, those folders would be within /system/expressionengine/third_party/. If you're using EE1.X, those folders would be within /system/modules/. I don't think I've come across a module that renders its own templates inside of my own before. May I ask which module you're using?
