Override Includes vs. Control Panel

[niccol]

I am puzzled by the way overrides work with/against the text added from the admin control panel.

e.g. define_main_page.php

the path for this is:

includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_new_page.php

I have a override for this file whose path is:

includes/languages/english/MYNAME/html_includes/define_new_page.php.

Evidently, this does not work the way i thought it would. The non-override file is used. Files that are in includes/languages/MYNAME/ work the way I expect.

Do I need to use a includes/english/html_includes/MYNAME/
format? If so how do I know which to use?

In the case of the css file Zen Cart searches two directories down from the MYNAME folder to find the css file.

Don't understand, but am sure I will soon.

Thanks guys
Nick

the correct path for your override is:
includes/languages/english/html_includes/MYNAME/define_new_page.php

Remember, the easy way to locate your custom template folders is to put one anywhere you see a 'Classic' folder, at the same level.
