Hi,
Just been through the same process.
Couple of pointers -
1. Have a look at FormAPI - this is the only real way for setting defaults, and making items readonly and hidden.

2. If you have replicants, then make sure that the "is-replicant='yes'" value is set for that column in the dbschema file (Note if you generate the dbschema file automatically it doesn't put this in for you, and a data deployment will not work without it)

When you say "newbie" - how "newbie" is that?
Have you gone through any of the formal Interwoven training?
Have you read through the manuals?
Have you read through the on-line documentation on presentation templates and/or FormAPI?

Those are the places I'd start - after the above I'd suggest playing with the product doing simple things first, and then trying out more complex things - and it is in this stage that I'd encourage you to take advantage of the Knowledge Portal on the Support site and the Tech Notes on this site as well as these forums.

The more lead-up work you do first, the better results you are likely to have.

as newbie as it can get Smiley Wink

i did not go through all the manuals, but i have a basic understanding now of how teamsite works.
I was looking for any available books that may help me get up to speed with template creation. Surprisingly, I have come across none.
If you know of any, do let me know.

thanks for your advice, i think its a good starting point.

TeamSite Templating is an original product - as such you are unlikely to find general books available for this. On the other hand the manuals and on-line documentation and tutorials do a very good job - and, of course, going through one of our formal training programs is generally recommended - since it provides hands-on work in a test environment and live Q&A where you and the instructor may be able to investigate questions that arise.

Having said that, there is the book: Web Content Management by Russell Nakano (I presume still available through Amazaon if nowhere else) which I believe covers the concepts of TeamSite Templating and other aspects of TeamSite (I don't have my copy handy right now, otherwise I'd give some examples)
