How to find needed PHP file for editing?
To find any PHP files (or Smarty template file) which is responsible for some page or element displaying, the best way is to copy to clipboard some HTML code line (phrase) near the place you want to edit (or add any element) from the same development panel and find the certain PHP (Smarty) file at your local computer via any search feature of your local file manager. In a bundle, these two ways allow you to find any code place and files for editing withing one minute.
