Default Copying modified classic template to CUSTOM one

So I started plowing ahead without thinking and modified the classic template to suit my needs. Now I want to copy it over into another folder and rename it soI don't lose my changes in an upgrade.
I made my folder and named it. Modified the .php file so it can be seen in the admin tools. I then copied the contents of the classic template folder into the new folder. Switched to my new templates and I only get my new header and a few other tweeks. The layout is all tweeked with a lot of the original stock placeholder ads. Obviouslly I haven't copied over everything I needed to.

I'm back using the classic green with my tweeks for now.


Cheers

Default Re: Copying modified classic template to CUSTOM one

There are also /classic/ folders (multiple levels of them) in /includes/languages/ and /includes/modules/.
