backing up

[devinej1]

Hey all,

Just got a question, i made a slight mistake when creating my zencart. What happened was, before understanding all the overides etc. i basically created my zencart by modifying all the classic template files, and now i currently dont have a backup of all my work for when a new update is released. So just to be prepared for future updates, i was just wondering what files i would have to back up and how to do it, so when the time comes to update i can use my backed up data to save me from losing everything i have done with the classic template. Any help is highly appreciated as always.

Thanks in advance

To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:

* includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
* includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
* includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
* includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
* includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
* includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
* includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
* includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css


Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.
