belated custom template

[jascoaut]

hi i am a new zen cart user and just in the process of building my site.
I have downloaded zen cart and have a partly done shop running
through trial and error playing around as you do.
I have now started to read some of the tutorials and FAQ's.
Upon reading (how do i set up template overrides)
i think i am probably guilty of making changes to important files.

My question is can i now make my custom folder per the
(how do i create a new template) instructions with my modfied files
and when i need to do any furture upgrades will it then be ok,
or should i start again from scratch?

If all your modifications are in files that have override capability, it's likely that you could just copy them to the proper template folders and do the rest of the "create a template" steps. The versions left in /template_default/ will be ignored because ZC looks for them in your template folders first.

When you upgrade, the modified files in /template_default/ will be replaced by stock ones, but that won't matter because you will have your copies safe in your template folder.
