Hi all,

I'm still here! Learning lots.

I have a Q about the overrides system.

I get what the overrides system if for; so that you don;t break core files customising, when there is an update. All good an well.

But is it me or do some mods not fully use overrides and actually place files in areas that aren't in YourTemplate/Somthing/

For example:

The Zen lightbox (very cool mod BTW, thanks Dev)

It says in the instructions:

4.Upload the entire contents of the includes folder to your server, again keeping the file structure intact. (Note: All files make use of the overrides system.)

Well clearly not ALL files make use of the override system as I also have a classes and function folders to upload which don;t sit within an override folder.

Is this purely down to the fact that Zen cart hasn't included these folder locations when it looks for overrides in the system yet? and to get some working you just need to place them in a non- overridden directory?

I've had a couple other Mods require this as well and I'm just worried I'm going down a slippery path for when I need to upgrade to the next version, it also makes backing up just my override files an impossibility.

Hope someone can explain for me...many thanks in advance.
