Ok i have an active shop that is working well but is version 1.2.7 and I want to upgrade. IN my haste to set it up I changed the files in the default directory and now will overwrite them when I install the upgrade. Ok well mom used to say of the horse kicks you once it is his fault , he does it again it is yours. So I am trying to set up a version 1.3.6 cart that has the correct overides templates. But i have had some trouble and have read so much I have now confused myself so a few questions.
If I am using a downloaded template that changes the look and feel of the new shop do I need to copy those files to my CUSTOM folders to see the changes I have made in the define pages? Can I set the visual template to the downloaded template and the language to custom and get the same results?
Should the product images be kept in a images/custom/ folder or are they ok in the regular folders?
My last question has nothing to do with the overides per se. I would like to set up the new cart locally so that I dont have to work through my FTP program. I have a connection to my trial database via mysql admin and tried connecting to the cart install program using the address of http://localhost/f:/store/zc_install/ and it wont connect? Is this possible or more a pain in the neck than it is worth?
Thanks for any help.
Mike
