# Theme Templates

## Template Folder File Structure

*  templates (The folder that contains optional templates for collection rendering that are used using the quick rendering methods in the CB Helper. See below for additional information)
  *  category.cfm (The template used to display an iteration of entry categories using coldbox collection rendering)
  *  comment.cfm (The template used to display an iteration of entry or page comments using coldbox collection rendering)
  *  entry.cfm (The template used to display an iteration of entries in the home page using coldbox collection rendering)

## Functionality

The individual files included in the `templates` directory are a single `.cfm` files used by ContentBox to iterate over a collection (usually entries or categories or comments) and render out all of them in uniformity.

Please refer to ColdBox Collection Rendering for more information.

**Each template receives the following variables**:

* `_counter` (A variable created for you that tells you in which record we are currently looping on)
* `_items` (A variable created for you that tells you how many records exist in the collection)
* `{templateName}` The name of the object you will use to display: entry, comment, category

**Layout Local CallBack Functions**:

* `onActivation()`
* `onDelete()`
* `onDeactivation()`
