these directions are not working for me

[gjh42]

/includes/modules/sideboxes/ has a /classic/ folder in it, which means that it can be overridden. If your efforts are not working, you are doing something wrong in the process, or something is messed up.

Hi Glenn,

Is there some other setting somewhere? I do see a classic folder in there. I did a test and didn't even change code. I have 2 files on my computer

1. the original search_header.php
2. and a modified one that I named search_header.php.

when I copied the modified to my custom folder nothing changes. then when I copied that same modified file to includes/modules/sideboxes. the code works.

I have repeated this several times and the overriding system there doesn't work. I don't know what to say. I do notice that there is a empty.txt file in my custom folder. Could that have anything to do with it? By the way, we are talking about public_html/includes/modules/sideboxes right? Its not a huge problem for me anyways because I found some solution for my original problem. But just testing this and just letting people know what I see.

Thanks for replying nonetheless.

The edited file should go in includes/modules/sideboxes/usi_custom

It looks like your other overrides are working, so that one almost has to if the file was actually changed and is in the right folder.
