Getting confused on templates

[janissaire]

Ok getting a good idea of how templates are working but something doesn't seem spot on.

Is this test example right or am I getting the entire idea wrong?

Looks like you are on the right track.

Basically, you should only copy default files to your CUSTOM dir. when you are going to make changes to the default files. Some CUSTOM dir. will require all default files whilst some will not.

includes/languages/english/html_includes/CUSTOM
- all files from the "html_includes/CLASSIC" dir. need to be copied over

includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/
- this only requires copying over any files from the "templates/template_default/templates/" dir. that you want to change
