Seems like I'm missing something really basic...

Ok I've searched and read many articles posts regarding the override system. Problem is that changes made to my

/includes/languages/english/custom/index.php

file in my custom folder do not display on my site. I have to modify the original file at

/includes/languages/english/index.php

before these changes will display. My concern of course is that if I ever upgrade all of my changes will be lost! Is there a way that I might have turned overrides off or is there a way to point to the file in my custom folder in place of the default file?

Thank you for your help!

Where is your site?

It is currently listed at [/url]http://174.37.209.210[/url] with camelot hosting until I get it completed and ready to go live.

I also have a local host xampp server to test things before I up load them. However I have the same problem with both locations. The override files are not used by Zen-Cart for some reason.

Keep in mind most of what you will see is the standard that came with the template as I can't progress until I get this all resolved.

Thanks for any feed back you can offer.

Creating and editing /includes/languages/english/custom/index.php isn't the only part of a custom template. Now you may have already done these steps, but just to double check.

Have you created includes/templates/custom/template_info.php to give your template identifying information and selected it in the admin under tools->template selection?

No I intalled a pre-made template and it didn't change the wording. I had not thought of adding in the changes to the template it self since they were not part of the existing changes.

Thank you I will see if I can modify the template_info.php to include the proper folder.

The premade template should have its own set of folders and files. If you want to add something to the template, make certain you name your folders with the template's name.

For example, if your template is called FRED, name any new folders FRED to be picked up as part of the template. So if FRED didn't come with /includes/languages/english/FRED/index.php, create/includes/languages/english/FRED and copy /includes/languages/english/index.php into the new folder and make your changes there. FRED could have come with includes/templates/FRED/template_info.php

Where did you get the premade template from?
