Override folder not working

[djdavedawson]

Hello,

My template name is "lock".

I am trying to override the file here: includes/languages/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php

I noticed that there was a classic folder here, so I created a "lock" folder as well and copied the file to it.

I now have this: includes/languages/modules/payment/lock/paypalwpp.php

I am trying to override the file here: includes/languages/modules/payment/lock/paypalwpp.php

But the changes do not reflect on the site when the file in the "lock" folder is changed. But will if the original is changed.

Thanks

DD

Presuming you already copied all these files:
/includes/templates/classic/

to here:
/includes/templates/lock/



Open this file on your computer:
/includes/templates/classic/template_info.php

Edit to reflect your custom Template
i.e. $template_name = 'lock';

Upload to:
/includes/templates/lock/template_info.php


This will allow Zen Cart to know what the other Template is called and refer to it by name. Thus any files/folders you customize for your 'lock' Template should show as well.

I have the template_info.php file setup in includes/templates/lock to specify the template name.

In addition, I have "lock" folders working already in different areas.

For example:

includes/languages/english/lock
includes/languages/english/html_includes/lock

but it is not working here:

includes/languages/modules/payment/lock

Perhaps your path is wrong?

includes/modules/payment/

You'll note that you cannot setup an override within that dir.
You can alter the 'paypalwpp.php' file but will have to make note to self, that you changed it. Prevents confusion in the future.

Sorry, there should be "ENGLISH" in there for the last few posts.

The following works :

includes/languages/english/lock
includes/languages/english/html_includes/lock

but does not work here:

includes/languages/english/modules/payment/lock

**note: there is a classic folder here: includes/languages/english/modules/payment/classic

Have you confirmed that permissions are correct for your new folder/file?
Are you uploading the changed file or editting online; through a Hosting Control Panel for example?

[djdavedawson]

File permissions are set to 755 just like the "lock" folder in html_includes, which is working. I use dreamweaver to upload the files and folders.

This is how I did the other ones too. That work fine

755 is for folder permissions.
644 is for file permissions.

[djdavedawson]

Yes, that is the way it is setup.

What should I check ?

At this point I can only suggest you continue with your Trial & Error methods, to determine exactly where/what the problem is.
