title: how to make custom templates in Koken
body: <p>I'm using Koken and would like to customize the template for text entries by putting the date at the top of the entry.</p>
  
  <p>I hacked a call to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/10395287/194309"><code>new Date()</code></a> into the core template file <code>/admin/templates/text.tmpl.html</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="entry-editor"&gt;
      &lt;div id="edit-area" data-bind="html: content() || 
          '&lt;p class=\'date\'&gt;' + new Date() + '&lt;/p&gt;
           &lt;p class=\'media-row\'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;'"&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- close #entry-editor --&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine, but I know the perils of hacking core files.</p>
  
  <p>As of this writing, I don't see an answer on the page linked as "<a href="http://help.koken.me/customer/portal/articles/828697-custom-templates" rel="nofollow noreferrer">define your own custom template types</a>" on <a href="http://help.koken.me/customer/portal/articles/828691-build-your-own-theme" rel="nofollow noreferrer">help.koken.me</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Without hacking core files, how can I have Koken add a date to the top of each text entry?</p>
